The main protagonist of the titular story, Harry Potter was orphaned early on in life when Lord Voldemort discovered a prophecy that stated "either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives." Although the prophecy refers to Voldemort and possibly two other wizards, Voldemort marked Harry as his equal, inadvertently giving him the lightning bolt scar on his forehead and a share of his own special powers. Harry lives with his surviving Muggle aunt and her family and does not come to know of the wizarding world until he receives an invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As he grows up, he witnesses Voldemort's return to power and must take up the fight himself to vanquish the Dark Lord forever.
Fun Fact: Harry would've been placed in the Slytherin House at Hogwarts (the same as Voldemort's), but Harry emphatically requested the Sorting Hat not to.
