Highlights
Harry Potter (fictional character)

Harry Potter is the central character -- a boy wizard -- in a series of seven books by British author J.K. Rowling. She wrote the novels, which were initially for children but gained wide appeal worldwide over a 17-year period. The first was published in June 1997, and the final one hit the shelves in July 2007.

There have been more than 325 million copies of the books sold worldwide. Rowling has become the first billionaire author in history.

There have been more than 325 million copies of the books sold worldwide. Rowling has become the first billionaire author in history.

The books' titles are (in chronological order): Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (but Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States); Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets; Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince; and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The first five books have been made into successful motion pictures with the sixth due in theaters in late 2008. The movies follow Harry (played by Daniel Radcliffe) through his education at Hogwarts, a school of magic located in Scotland. Other actors in the films include Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, John Cleese, Gary Oldman and Ralph Fiennes.

In 2007, Universal Orlando announced plans to add a major Harry Potter area to its Islands of Adventure theme park. It will be known as "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" and is set to be completed in late 2009 or early 2010, with cooperation of Rowling and the movies' set designer, Stuart Craig.  « Show less
