The world was shocked by the novels about a boy who had suffered all his short life from the attacks of an evil relative in the person of Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, and then found out that he could blow them up with a single wave of a magic wand. The books of the English writer J.K. Rowling were liked by everyone: immature teenagers, important lawyers, and retired old women.
It is hardly necessary to tell the true fans of the Harry Potter novel how many parts are in this fantasy epic. Well, for those who have forgotten their hobby or just decide to plunge into the magical world of Rowling, we inform you: there are seven parts of the "Potter".
The beginning of a fairy tale
The story of "Harry Potter" begins in the relatively distant 1990, when during a trip from Manchester to London, Joan suddenly realized: she was to write a book about a green-eyed boy with naughty hair and a wizard's mantle. Then she began to create a book. That is how the Harry Potter was born. How many parts will be in her work, the writer herself did not know; that significant evening, she managed to “draw up” only a few pages, which subsequently will be very different from the final version.
Seven years after graduation, Joan considered herself a terrible loser: a woman already had a divorce. She even thought about suicide. Nevertheless, she continued to write, and by 1995 she had finished the first volume of The Potterians. However, he was destined to be published only two years later. Joan was warned that she won’t earn much on children's literature ... These people did not know that they were talking with the future holder of the title “The Richest Woman in Great Britain”, whose income was three times higher than the savings of the English queen!
Early years at hogwarts
So what is Harry Potter talking about? The first part begins with a meeting of two teachers of the school of magic and magic - Albus Dumbledore and Minevra McGonagall. They gathered in front of the threshold of the ordinary Dursleys to entrust them with the education of a little wizard who survived the Voldemort spell. Subsequently, the boy learns that he is a wizard, he is supposed to get hold of a magic wand and receive a magical education at Hogwarts. And in the first year of study, the young sorcerer showed noticeable abilities for magic, enrolling in the prestigious Gryffindor faculty, becoming a Quidditch catcher, and at the same time managing to save the philosopher's stone from the clutches of the resurrecting Voldemort. Then the boy made two friends - Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who would remain faithful to him until the end. On stage, farewell to them and ends with "Harry Potter 1".
In 1998, the second part of the magic saga was released, describing Harry's return to Hogwarts and his encounter with the mysterious Heir to Slytherin, one of the founders of the school of magic. The heir (he turned out to be Tom Riddle, the future Voldemort) with the help of a terrible creature - a basilisk - attacked half-blood wizards, that is, those whose one of the parents was not a magician. But Harry sends the enemy back to hell and successfully rescues Ron's sister, Ginny.
The third part of “Potteriana” was released in 1999, and the period of its writing was the most comfortable for the writer: successes from sales of the first two books made it possible to forget about material difficulties. Another year of the protagonist's stay at Hogwarts is painted in alarming colors: Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban prison, which allegedly killed Harry's father and mother. But everything turns out to be more complicated than expected ...
Harry Potter and the Three Wizards Tournament
Harry's fourth year coincides with a significant event for the entire magical world - the tournament of the Three Wizards. The fourteen-year-old magician could not even think of him until the cup mysteriously determined Potter to be another, fourth participant in the tournament. Not without the influence of any of the adult wizards ... One thing is certain: the unknown "assistant" is clearly not Harry's friend, because now he has to pass very difficult tests.
Upon learning that the Dark Lord has risen, and barely survived the battle with him, in the fifth book, Potter encounters the Order of the Phoenix, once organized by Albus Dumbledore to counter the main antagonist. It is the members of this circle who come to the aid of Harry and his friends when they fall into the trap set by Voldemort.
Final fight
The penultimate part of the Harry Potter epic (how many parts you already know) reveals the secret of the Lord: as a teenager, he learned how to divide his soul into parts and put them in objects (using magic language, create christenings). The process of separation of the soul must be preceded by a crime, especially the vile and treacherous. But in return, the wizard will receive immortality: it will not be possible to kill him without destroying all the crossings. This is what the inseparable trinity deals with, remaining one on one with the terrible enemy. However, the good, as usual, wins, and "Harry Potter" (part 7 in particular) is crowned with a happy ending.
Life after fantasy
Having finished work on the fantasy epic, J.K. Rowling proceeded to books that had a completely different target audience than the “potteriana”. She writes the novel "A Random Vacancy", as well as the detective "Call of the Cuckoo." But with a beloved world of magic, Rowling did not want to leave and composed a couple of books that, one way or another, relate to the plot of her main work.
And once the writer mentioned that she was going to write about the adult life of her hero. So the phrase "Harry Potter: Part 9" someday, you look, and will be possible. Hopeful fans expect new surprises from the writer ... In the meantime, the question of how many parts of the Harry Potter book is considered resolved.
