Around the Harry Potter books

While the first novel mainly sets the scene for the magical world of Harry Potter, the plot becomes more and more exciting and complex as the books go on, dealing with subjects such as free will and death.

The first book of this long series was published in 1997, entitled "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Since then, the books have grown in popularity to the point where J.K Rowling, the author of the books, is now one of the most widely read British authors in the world alongside William Shakespeare and Agatha Christie.
