Now, our story begins on Privet Drive. More importantly on building number four Privet Drive. Number four looked like an ordinary, normal, nice and neat home in the suburbs of Surrey, London England. In fact, since this home looks so pristine from any regular home in Surrey, London. It truly makes you wonder if this is anything but ordinary. However, they really are far from it.

Petunia Dursley is a bony-horse faced woman, who makes everyone's business her business. In comparison to her son, who happens to look like a miniature Killer Whale, named Dudley Dursley. Her Husband, Vernon Dursley worked at Grummings, a place where drills were made, is the adult version of his son with seven necks.

However, our story is about these people. It is about the other occupant in the Dursley household, their nephew Harry Potter. He has been living with his Aunt, Uncle and cousin since the day his parents died when he was eighteen months old.

This boy, no, young man knew that in a strange way he is special in some way, he wasn't even ready for the surprise that waited for him.

You see, Harry Potter wasn't an ordinary teenager, he was different from his peers…he is a wizard. But just not any ordinary wizard, no that would be too normal for him, he is famous. Why is he famous you ask? Well, if you come closer, I will tell you why. But we will start at the beginning; on how all this had happened.

The reason why Harry Potter is famous is because he lived. I know that doesn't sound all that grand, but there's a reason for everything, and there's a reason for this. During the first moments in his life and before his birth, there was a wizard, now you have to remember that not all wizards are good. Well, it was said that this wizard had gone bad, and as bad as he could go. He had become known as the Dark Lord, Voldemort.

Now, you have to understand that there were a few people who had defied him and they were vanquished by Voldemort and his followers, Death Eaters. These few included Harry's parents, who were in hiding from the Dark Lord. On 1981, Halloween night, the Dark Lord found them, due to his spy.

First, he encountered James Potter, the Dark Lord toyed with James for a bit before he killed him. Then the Dark Lord went up to the nursery, which is where Lily Potter was found trying to escape with her son, Harry. Like her husband, she too fell to the ground, dead. With Harry's parents out of the way, the Dark Lord headed towards Harry Potter and shot the Killing Curse at the baby. However, something unexpected happened, somehow, miraculously, the curse bounced off Harry and rebounded back at the Dark Lord, destroying him.

No one really understands what happened that night; several people had theories of their own. Some believed that it was his mother's love that protected him, but why did it protect him and no one else? No, that couldn't be the reason why. Other's also believed that he had a powerful ancient Protection Charm placed on him. Could this be the answer? While others believe that he was protected by higher beings. Perhaps that's the reason?

But this is why he is famous. This is why everyone knows his name. It's because he's THE-BOY-WHO-LIVED.
