Harry Potter Past

The plot summary goes thus. The story of Harry Potter opens with the celebrations of a usually secretive wizarding world. This world is celebrating something that has never happened before. This has connections to their history and their tormentor. For many years, it had been terrorised by the evil wizard, Lord Voldemort. The previous night, on 31 October, Voldemort discovers the Potter family's hidden refuge. He then proceeds to kill Harry Potter's parents Lily and James Potter. Continuing his carnage, he tries to kill Harry Potter too. But does Harry Potter die? No! when Valdermort attempts to murder infant Harry Potter, the Avada Kedavra killing curse he casts rebounds upon him. Voldemort's body is destroyed, but his spirit survives: he is neither dead nor alive. Although young Harry Potter is saved the curse of the deathly spell, but is left with a distinctive lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, the only physical sign of Voldemort's curse. Harry is the only known survivor of the killing curse, and Voldemort's mysterious defeat causes the wizarding community to dub Harry "The Boy Who Lived".
