Harry Potter universe

The Harry Potter universe, created by author J. K. Rowling, is a fictional reality that resembles our own but includes the existence of magic, which is hidden from most Muggles, along with some minor geographical and historical variations.

Introduction

The Harry Potter universe was originally showcased in the form of the Harry Potter books, but several companion books, as well as the Harry Potter films and video games, have been created in light of the series' popularity.

As the Wizarding World franchise was introduced and expanded, the Harry Potter universe has also since included contents from the Fantastic Beasts screenplays and film series, various video games, etc.
