Harry Potter Book Series

From the opening line of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone through the poignant end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, few book series are as gripping as J.K. Rowling's. Decades after the tales of "the boy who lived" were first published, these books continue to enchant and inspire readers of all ages. This list includes all of Rowling's magical novels, as well as a few bonus books she wrote for Harry's biggest fans and a play she co-wrote with two others. For even more media that wannabe witches and wizards will love, check out these lists: Harry Potter Movies, Harry Potter Games, or Books About Magic.
