Harry Potter Books

Although it's tempting to skip around in most series, Harry Potter books are best read in order. So much is carried over from one book to the next it's hard to keep up if you don't go from number 1 to number 7. Each book is one year of Harry's life at Hogwarts.  

• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone : Meet Harry Potter and all his friends for their first year at Hogwarts. This is when you really get acquainted with the series.
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets : This is the first time Harry encounters Voldemort head to head. It's a high action book. This is where the series starts to get addicting!
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban : Meet another of Harry's relatives and read about the troubles that await Harry at Hogwarts.
• HarryPotter and the Goblet of Fire : The infamous Triwizard Tournament catastrophe happens during this book!
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix : Harry faces the reality of Voldemort's return (so do the members or the Order of the Phoenix).
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince : One of the most influential characters is killed off in a tear-jerking climax.
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : We won't spoil anything in this one--the final book.

Harry Potter Movies

The first few Harry Potter movies combines multiple books into one film. However, the last movies all follow the book as far as timelines go. These are great for kids and adults alike. Older viewers can appreciate the fantastic filming and realistic wizarding scenes. However, youngsters may need a parent with them during the later movies considering some parts can be a little spooky for tots.
