The Astronomy Tower was the tallest point in all of the castle. It towered over everything, including the tall bristling pine trees that clustered together to make up the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid's hut was miniscule from this height, and the cool crisp wind blew violently as he stood at the very edge. He was barefoot, and his toes hung over dangerously as his hair continued to whip around him. It ruffled his Hogwarts robes as he tilted forward, and gazed down into the black abyss.
His heart thumped so fast and loud that he could feel it in his ears, a strange throbbing took him over as he realized that he could do it. It would be so easy. It was a fool's way out, but it could be done.
To be honest, fifteen-year-old Harry James Potter was broken into a thousand pieces. The weight of the world pressed heavily on his shoulders, and there were times it felt like something was wrapping around his neck, and squeezing so tight that he could only see the black and white spots in front of his eyes.
Uncontrollably, the tears fell down his cheeks, his emerald eyes glittering in the star-speckled moonlight.
It was a full moon, and it would be perfect. He placed his hands on either side of him, holding onto the columns of the castle's stonework, and let his body tilt forward. The idea of simply stepping off, and falling into oblivion had its merits. It was a selfish idea to be sure, and not very courageous. Actually, it was a cowards way out, but Harry could careless at that moment.
He breathed in the clean air, and closed his eyes. He shuddered as the pain twirled like a dance deep inside before slicing at his heart like knives. What was left? There was nothing left, and maybe – just maybe if he ended it all he would find peace at last. ...

It was a while before he got to the dungeons, he passed his classroom until he got to a gleaming silver snake statue that had deep green gem eyes. He spat out the password making the statue fling aside revealing a human size hole.
He headed through the entrance to the fire blazing dark chamber that were his personal corridors. He said nothing as he dropped Harry to the leather sofa, and got down on his knees wordlessly.
Harry had a dead look in his eyes, and that shocked Snape thoroughly. The spitting fire that once been in the Gryffindor was now gone, and there was no light to be seen.
He took hold of Harry's other wrist, and slid the sleeves up, not surprised to see more cuts, these ones a little more shallow, and they were perfect sideways lines going up and down his wrist and arms. Like he had been experimenting.
Harry has spent all summer waiting to hear news about Lord Voldemort, a evil wizard that Harry saw return the year before, but nobody believes him. One evening after listening to news ,he decides to go for a walk. He then sees his cousin, who he lives with and hates. They then get in a fight and Harry pulls out his wand and at that exact moment two dementors attack them. Dudley thinks Harry is attacking him so he punches Harry.

Harry Potter is not a normal boy. He lives with his aunt and uncle and his cousin because his parents were murdered by the most powerful dark lord, Lord Voldemort. He attends a school for wizards called Hogwarts and learns about spells, potions, the dark arts, and etc. Non-magic people are called Muggles and the Muggles are completely oblivious to this world.

Just to quickly run through the two previous books; Harry Potter is a wizard, who’s parents were killed by the worst dark wizard ever known. The reason why Harry Potter is still around, is because Lord Voldemort failed to kill Harry. His spell hit Harry, but then backfired on Voldemort taking all of his powers with him. Harry is so famous for two things. Withstanding the powers of Lord Voldemort, and, taking him back in to the underworld in hiding. In the first book, Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He’s eventually allowed to go, and spends the next six months there learning magic, getting into trouble, and trying to solve mysteries of his past, and the school. In the second book, Harry goes back to his second year at Hogwarts, and gets into more trouble, figures out many astonishing mysteries and learns loads more magic. His best friends in the two books consist of Ron and Hermione (two of his fellow wizard students) and Hagrid the gamekeeper who was expelled from Hogwarts but allowed a job as the gamekeeper.

This quote shows how Harry’s realization of death from his infectious disease causes him to feel disconnected from society and angry wit...
Shortly after Harry was born a villain called Voldermont killed his parents. Somehow Harry did not die from Voldermont, but not only did he live, he almost killed this great dart magician. As the only survivor, a giant called Hagrid took him to his Aunt and Uncle Dursleys house and left them on the doorstep with a note. Ever since that day, he has been living in a blended family. That is a family whose members were once part of another.
Uncoiling the rope, I looked up at the dim light that hung down from the ceiling. It hung down from a dark metal rod; one I knew would support my weight.

Inhale, exhale, pushing another breath into the ether as he slid his arms behind his head, cushioning him as he felt his eyes close in the stillness of the night.
Harry Potter starts off slow, but gets very interesting near the end. In the beginning, you meet the Dursleys, Harry’s aunt, uncle, and their son Dudley. Then you learn that Harry’s parents were witches, and that they were destroyed by a evil wizard. A good witch, Albus Dumbeldoor, sends Harry to the Dursleys, because they’re his only remaining family. The Dursleys however, hated Harry and his family, so Harry was mistreated for years. He was forced to live in a cuborrod under the stairs. He had to watch as the fat, stuck up Dudley got whatever he wanted, and then usually broke whatever it was he got. Then one day Harry got a letter.

My heart was simply ripped apart. I could not believe it at first, but I knew I had to. After all these wonderful years and enthralling moments, I finally have to face God's greatest challenge. My mind wasn't as messy as before anymore and I couldn't even think of what to think. It seemed as if I had nothing to worry about, nothing to do, nothing to say. I was trapped inside this room waiting for the Grim Reaper to reap my innocent soul.
