Consequences Of Harry Potter

Have you ever wanted to live in a world where people can have magical abilities? And in this world, teenagers with magical abilities attend a boarding school to practice witchcraft and wizardry. Sounds enticing, right? Well, it’s all fun and games until a group of wizard supremacists attempts to purge the Wizarding World of genetically impure witches and wizards. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the main character, Harry Potter; is thirteen years old, the only known person to survive the “killing curse” (which orphaned him), and he is the “chosen one.” At such a young age, Harry has the role of being the “hero” thrust upon him, but he is too young to live up to the standards.
