Galadriel Waters,Astre Mithrandir, New Clues to Harry Potter Book 5: Hints from the Ultimate Unofficial Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter - Harry Potter spent the first ten years of his life living with his Muggle (non-wizard) Aunt and Uncle and revolting, spoilt pig-like cousin Dudley. They begrudgingly let him live with them when his parents are murdered by the evil Lord Voldemort but they loathe the fact that he is not 'normal'. Consequently he lives in the cupboard under the stairs and is not even recognized when he walks into a room or talks. Then, a letter arrives from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by the giant Hagrid and plunges Harry into the world of wizards where he is famous as the only survivor of Voldemort's curse, the proof evident as a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.

Each book chronicles a new year at Hogwarts where Harry lives in a world of potion classes, care of magical creatures and learning to fly broomsticks in the wizard game of Quidditch. He is also involved in the death challenges Lord Voldemort constantly throws at him, aided by his best friends Ron, Hermione and Hedwig the owl - all the while trying to dodge the school bully Draco Malfoy and Peeves the mischievous poltergeist. The characters captivate you as well as the plot twists, many people can relate to one of the characters or knew an equivalent at school. The bossy but well-meaning Hermione, pompous Percy, dim-witted Neville and funny Ron. The story recognizes the anxieties and situations all children go through; dealing with the bully, the mean teacher, the torment of keeping secrets and having the courage to act against injustice.
