Who does Harry Potter live with?

What is Harry Potter all about?

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.
