"You're a Wizard, Harry". In order to fully enjoy the magical community
one will find it extremely useful to know many famous witches and wizards. One can do so by reading all seven Harry
Potter books and thus learn all of the characters, but that may take awhile. Instead I'll just name some off the top of my head so that you grasp a better understanding of who's who. Some
of the most important witches and wizards include Harry Potter himself as well
as his best friends, Ron and Hermione.
Albus Dumbledore is of course an extremely important wizard as he is in
many ways Harry’s mentor and is the most powerful wizard of the time. Harry and Dumbledore, through the books, destroy Lord Voldemort; the next powerful wizard.
Voldemort is the soul-drained thorn of evil and will stop at nothing to
kill Harry including murdering Harry’s mother and father when Harry was an
infant. Of course Voldemort’s followers
are known as the Death Eaters and you'll want to stay away from them. This is because there are nasty witches and wizards like Bellatrix Lestrange, Fenrir Greyback, and Lucius Malfoy in this group. Dumbledore's followers are part of the Order of the Phoenix. Some of these awesome people include the Weasleys (Ron's family), Sirius Black (Harry's godfather), Mad Eye Moody, Remus Lupin, and several more. Of course as one goes through the books and movies, you can decide which side you'd fight on.
