Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first novel in the Harry Potter series. It describes how Harry discovers he is a wizard, makes close friends and a few enemies at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and with the help of his friends thwarts an attempted comeback by the evil wizard Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents and tried to kill Harry when he was one year old. The film version starts with Harry defying his aunt and uncle. He attends Hogwarts where he begins to learn magic and make new friends, as well as enemies, among the Hogwarts students and staff. Voldemort has been near death, and in hiding, since the attack on Harry ten years earlier, but a plot is brewing for the dark lord to regain his power and strength through the acquisition of a philosopher's stone, which grants immortality to its owner. Harry and his friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, discover the plot and seek to prevent the theft of the stone, which is hidden in a protected chamber at Hogwarts.

In the second movie, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry Potter faces Voldemort again - this time in the form of a memory that comes alive. The suspense is hightened in this movie as Harry hears a mysterious voice and students are attacked all year.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third movie. The threat here isn't Lord Voldemort himself, but those who support him and the dark, soul sucking, dementors. It ends on the high note of Harry finding his godfather.

In the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Voldemort is present at first only through Harry's dreams. More real are the threats he faces as he is forced into a wizards tournament that has claimed deaths in the past. It all culminates in Harry facing an alive 'He who must not be named' and the subsequent discovery of a traitor at Hogwarts.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the largest of the 7 books by J.K. Rowling. It is therefore not surprising that the movie doesn't contain all that's in the book. This movie is, like the book, perhaps the first one to criticize the government explicitly. Voldemort being back is a challenge, but facing the Ministry of Magic makes Harry's life difficult daily.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has only just come out in July 2009. Dumbledore dies, Snape seems the most evil character in the world and again the threat of Voldemort is mostly felt through his supporters. Perhaps the most thrilling Harry Potter movie yet.
