In the Harry Potter series, there are several themes and plots going on, but a few main ideas:

Harry Potter is a boy wizard is an orphan. He came to the wizarding world late because he's been living with his Aunt and Uncle, who are muggles (not magical folks).

Harry Potter and the rest of the good wizarding world have a great enemy, Voldemort. Harry and Voldemort are closely intertwined in their destinies; one cannot survive while the other remains alive.

Harry Potter is a boy who's parents died when he was a baby, and so he is raised by his rotten aunt and uncle. Harry is told his parents died in a car crash. However, on his eleventh birthday, harry finds out that his parents were wizards, and were really killed by an evil wizard named Voldemort, who had tried to kill Harry but failed. Harry learns that he is a wizard, and is famous for defeating Voldemort. The books follow Harry's adventures at Hogwarts, a magic school for wizards and witches, as he learns magic, makes new friends, and faces dangers.

Harry Potter is an orphaned boy who lives with his aunt and uncle. He does not know he is a wizard until his eleventh birthday. When he gets to Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry, he finds out that he is the only person ever known to have survived the Killing Curse. What's more is that Voldemort, the world's most powerful Dark wizard, was the one who cast said curse, and just moments prior to trying to kill Harry, Voldemort had killed Harry's parents. Harry eventually learns that he is the only wizard who can possibly defeat Voldemort, which happens in Book 7. He ends up marrying his best friend's sister, having three children (one named after each of his parents and the third after two of his teachers) and--as cliche as it sounds--they all basically live happily ever after.

Harry Potter is about an eleven year old orphan boy who finds out he is a wizard. He is very famous in the wizarding world as well as he was the only person that Lord Voldemort, the most dangerous wizard of all time, as unable to kill. Lord Voldemort killed Harry's parents when Harry was just one years old, and then turned his wand on Harry to kill him too. Voldemort lost his powers and fled, so Harry was left to live with his Aunt, Uncle and Cousin, who were all extremely mean to him. Harry starts to receive letters, so when scared Uncle Vernon drives them away, the Hogwarts Gamekeeper follows them. He tells Harry about his past and why he's so special. Harry goes to Hogwarts and meets his two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. There, the three go on journeys spread over seven books, which involve danger, love and friendship, logic and making choices that will help others, and these usually end with Voldemort. In the end, they bring the downfall of Voldemort.

The overriding theme of the series is the battle of good versus evil and the importance of morality; one of the most important quotes from the book is "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
