The Complete Lore, Chronological Mechanics & Box Office History of Harry Potter & Wizarding World
The Complete Lore, Deathly Hallows & Wizarding Wars
The Wizarding World is one of the most beloved cultural mythologies of all time. Spanning eight original Harry Potter adaptations and three Fantastic Beasts prequel entries, the franchise chronicles the eternal struggle between dark wizard supremacy and compassionate tolerance.
The chronological timeline begins in 1926 in jazz-age New York City with magizoologist Newt Scamander. The rise of Gellert Grindelwald, who sought wizard dominion over non-magical Muggles, culminated in the legendary 1945 duel against Albus Dumbledore.
Decades later, the First and Second Wizarding Wars centered around the prophecy of 'The Boy Who Lived'—Harry Potter. Through the secret destruction of Voldemort's seven soul-splitting Horcruxes and mastery over the Deathly Hallows, the story concluded with the historic 1998 Battle of Hogwarts.
