Harry Potter coming of age blog#2


When harry potter is left on the door step of #4 privet drive it is known to the reader but not known to harry potter himself for much later in his life that he is a very special boy wizard. We find out very early on that harry potter's parents were murdered by the evil wizard whom should not be named, Voldemort. However it is not until several trials and tribulations later and reaching the age of 12 when Hagrid nock's down a door when harry potter finds out this information. Up until this point he had been fed the story that his parents died in a car crash and that their was nothing special about him, that he in fact was dumped on their doorstep and he was lucky to have their neglectfully provided home. Growing up until the age of 12 he was always blamed for any weird things that occurred around the Dursley's and did not quiet understand why everything seemed to happen when he was around. After the age of 12 he is provided the information that he is a boy wizard whose parents were very well known and that their were great things expected from him. After he found out this information regardless of the Dursle'ys intentions to not let him go to Hogwarts Hagrid, Dumbledore and others insisted that he attended and he chose to. While attending Hogwarts he finds out that the same wizard whom attacked and killed his parents was going to go after him, but only when the danger was evident. The rest of the series focuses on his continued development finding out about his growing up in the wizarding world and provided information year after year that he would not have been provided before. The series continually grows darker and darker and he is clearly at the center of the stage receiving it all whether he wants to or not.
