The Potter Series is magical world of love , fun , romance, hate , curse and rebirth.The young potter acted by Daniel Radcliffe grew up with these films along with his friends Ron Weasley by Rupert Grint and Hermione Granger by Emma Watson.

The Harry Potter film series was based on the book series by a British author J. K. Rowling who got this idea while travelling on train. The film was distributed by Warner Bros into eight series starting from the year 2001 to 2011 in a span of 10 years.The film was produced by David Heyman and Steve Kloves wrote the screenplay for the first film. As an ardent fan of Harry Potter ,I wanted to give a brief summary of all the films on the day of the release of the last potter series on July 15,2011.

Harry Potter Syndrome:
It is a syndrome which is characterized by believing oneself to be a Harry Potter who believes and does magic thinking that he/she is the one who can save the world .This syndrome was derived from the main character Harry Potter from the Potter series by J.K.Rowling.

The series continues with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ,a sequel to Harry's second year at school.Ron's younger sister Ginny finds a book belonging to Lord Voldemort in which she reads out a chapter about Chamber of secrets which in turn proves a gateway for a monster out.He(monster) disturbs the children in Hogwarts school.The novel delves into the history of Hogwarts and the Chamber.Also, Harry comes to know he can speak the language of the snakes and learns few secrets about Lord Voldemort.The book ends with Harry fighting the monster saving Ginny and unknowingly destroys a piece of a soul (horcrux) hidden by Lord Voldemort in the dairy(book) .
