The Boy Who Lived (1981 – 1991)
Harry Potter was born to James and Lily Potter, a loving wizarding couple. However, on Halloween night in 1981, the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, in his quest for immortality, attempted to kill Harry, believing him to be the child of prophecy destined to defeat him. Voldemort murdered James and Lily but failed to kill baby Harry. Instead, his Killing Curse rebounded, destroying Voldemort's body and leaving Harry with a lightning-shaped scar.
With no parents, Harry was sent to live with his only remaining relatives—the cruel and magic-hating Dursleys—his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and cousin Dudley. For ten years, Harry grew up in neglect and ignorance of his true heritage, living in a cupboard under the stairs and being treated like a servant.
Year 1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (1991 – 1992)
On his eleventh birthday, Harry received a letter inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After a series of events involving a giant named Hagrid, Harry learned he was a wizard. He went to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies, including his wand—a twin to Voldemort's.
Boarding the Hogwarts Express, he befriended Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. At school, he was sorted into Gryffindor and met Draco Malfoy, a snobby Slytherin rival. He also encountered Severus Snape, a potions professor who seemed to dislike him.
Harry discovered that the Sorcerer's Stone—a magical object that grants immortality—was hidden at Hogwarts. He, Ron, and Hermione navigated a series of obstacles to prevent its theft, ultimately facing Professor Quirrell, who harbored Voldemort's spirit. Harry, protected by his mother's love, defeated Quirrell, and Dumbledore later destroyed the Stone.
Year 2: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1992 – 1993)
Harry returned to Hogwarts despite warnings from a house-elf named Dobby. A mysterious force was petrifying students, and a message in blood revealed that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened.
With Ron and Hermione's help, Harry discovered that the monster in the Chamber was a Basilisk, controlled by Tom Riddle's diary—an enchanted object containing Voldemort's memory. Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister, had been possessed by the diary.
In the Chamber, Harry fought the Basilisk, destroyed the diary with a Basilisk fang, and saved Ginny. Dobby was freed when Harry tricked Lucius Malfoy into giving him a sock.
Year 3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (1993 – 1994)
Harry learned that Sirius Black, a notorious prisoner, had escaped Azkaban. Everyone believed Sirius had betrayed Harry's parents. Meanwhile, Dementors, soul-sucking creatures, were stationed at Hogwarts to capture him.
With help from Professor Lupin, Harry learned the Patronus Charm to repel Dementors. He later discovered that Sirius was actually innocent; the real traitor was Peter Pettigrew, who faked his death and lived as Ron's rat, Scabbers.
Sirius, Harry's godfather, offered Harry a home, but Pettigrew escaped. Using Hermione's Time-Turner, they saved Sirius and a condemned Hippogriff, Buckbeak. Sirius fled, remaining on the run.
Year 4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (1994 – 1995)
Hogwarts hosted the Triwizard Tournament, where students from three magical schools competed. Despite not entering, Harry's name was mysteriously selected. He competed alongside Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum.
The tournament's final task led Harry and Cedric to a graveyard, where Voldemort used Harry's blood in a dark ritual to regain his body. Voldemort, now fully restored, dueled Harry, but their wands connected due to their twin cores. The spirits of Harry's parents and others helped him escape.
Returning to Hogwarts, Harry warned of Voldemort's return, but the Ministry of Magic refused to believe him.
Year 5: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (1995 – 1996)
The Ministry denied Voldemort's return and installed Dolores Umbridge at Hogwarts, who imposed oppressive rules. Harry formed "Dumbledore's Army" to train students in defense against the Dark Arts.
Through his connection to Voldemort's mind, Harry saw a vision of Sirius being tortured. He rushed to the Department of Mysteries with his friends, only to find it was a trap. Death Eaters ambushed them, seeking a prophecy about Harry and Voldemort. The Order of the Phoenix arrived to help, but Sirius was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange.
Dumbledore fought Voldemort, forcing him to flee. The Ministry finally accepted Voldemort's return, but the war had begun.
Year 6: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (1996 – 1997)
Dumbledore began preparing Harry for the final battle, revealing Voldemort's Horcruxes—objects containing pieces of his soul, making him nearly immortal.
Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy was tasked with killing Dumbledore. Snape, bound by an Unbreakable Vow, swore to assist him.
Harry and Dumbledore found a Horcrux—a locket—in a hidden cave. Returning to Hogwarts, they were ambushed by Death Eaters. Draco hesitated to kill Dumbledore, so Snape did it instead. Harry was devastated but learned that the locket was a fake, with a note from someone named R.A.B.
Year 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (1997 – 1998)
Harry, Ron, and Hermione set off to find and destroy Horcruxes. They discovered the real locket, which they destroyed with Gryffindor's sword.
They learned about the Deathly Hallows—three powerful magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak. Voldemort sought the Elder Wand, which Dumbledore had possessed.
Captured by Death Eaters, the trio was taken to Malfoy Manor but escaped with help from Dobby, who was killed in the process.
Returning to Hogwarts, they located the remaining Horcruxes: Helga Hufflepuff's Cup and Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem.
The Final Battle (May 1998)
The Battle of Hogwarts erupted. Many fought, and some, including Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Tonks, were killed.
Harry learned he was an unintended Horcrux—Voldemort's soul had latched onto him when he was a baby. Accepting his fate, he willingly let Voldemort strike him with the Killing Curse. Instead of dying, Harry met Dumbledore in a limbo-like state. He returned to life, and Voldemort's Horcrux inside him was destroyed.
Neville Longbottom beheaded Voldemort's snake, Nagini, the final Horcrux. In the Great Hall, Harry revealed that Snape had been loyal all along and that Voldemort was never the true master of the Elder Wand—Harry was.
Voldemort, in his arrogance, cast a final curse, but since the Elder Wand recognized Harry as its master, the curse rebounded, and Voldemort was finally destroyed.
There is one more book in the series but that have entirely different storyline so I'll not talk about that.
Pureblood families:
The Sacred Twenty-Eight were the most prominent pure-blood wizarding families in Britain, as listed in the Pure-Blood Directory, published in the 1930s by Cantankerus Nott. The purpose of this directory was to identify and glorify families that remained "truly pure" by not intermarrying with Muggles or Muggle-borns. However, many wizards and witches, including some listed, disagreed with the book's elitist views.
The Origins of the Sacred Twenty-Eight::
During the early 20th century, concerns over blood purity intensified in Britain. Many pure-blood families saw themselves as superior and sought to preserve their magical heritage. However, as Muggle-born wizards and witches became more common, the fear of "blood dilution" led to the creation of this exclusive list.
The Twenty-Eight Families
Here is a breakdown of the Sacred Twenty-Eight and their historical significance:
1. Abbott – A long-standing family with Hufflepuff ties. The most notable member is Hannah Abbott, a student during Harry Potter's time.
2. Avery – Known Death Eater family, loyal to Voldemort.
3. Black – One of the most infamous pure-blood families. The Blacks were wealthy, influential, and deeply anti-Muggle. Notable members include Sirius Black and Bellatrix Lestrange.
4. Bulstrode – A lesser-known family, represented by Millicent Bulstrode in Slytherin.
5. Burke – Co-founder of Borgin and Burkes, known for dealing in Dark artifacts.
6. Carrow – Strong supporters of Voldemort; Alecto and Amycus Carrow became Death Eaters and enforced Dark Arts teachings at Hogwarts.

10. Gaunt – Descendants of Salazar Slytherin, known for their inbreeding and connection to Voldemort.
11. Greengrass – A more neutral family, represented by Daphne Greengrass, a Slytherin student, and her sister Astoria, Draco Malfoy's wife.
12. Lestrange – A deeply Dark Arts-aligned family; Bellatrix Lestrange was among Voldemort's most loyal followers.
13. Longbottom – Known for bravery and integrity. Frank and Alice Longbottom, tortured by Death Eaters, were parents of Neville Longbottom.
14. Macmillan – An influential family in the Ministry; Ernie Macmillan was a notable Hufflepuff student.
15. Malfoy – Wealthy and influential, the Malfoys, led by Lucius Malfoy, were initially Voldemort supporters but later defected.

25. Travers – A family of Death Eaters.
26. Weasley – Though pure-blood, they were considered "blood traitors" for supporting Muggle rights.
27. Yaxley – A Death Eater family with influence in the Ministry.
Decline and Legacy of the Sacred Twenty-Eight
As the wizarding world evolved, blood purity became less relevant. Families like the Weasleys rejected supremacist beliefs, while others, like the Malfoys, distanced themselves from Voldemort's ideology after his fall. By the 21st century, most families on the list had intermingled with half-bloods or Muggle-borns, leading to the decline of strict bloodline traditions.
