Harry Potter is back, hunts for Deathly Hallows

After six films spanning over a decade and almost USD 5.5 billion in gross profits in films, The Wizards are finally bidding goodbye with the seventh, a 2 part movie 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'. And if you are excited like the rest of the world, but have forgotten the plot so far, here is a crash course for you!

Harry Potter's journey began back in 2001, with The Philosopher's Stone. As a young miserable orphan, who discovers that he's a wizard, and not just any ordinary wizard. As a baby, he was responsible for the death of the evil Lord Voldemort. He heads to the magical school of Hogwart's, embarking on a journey to a much happier life and lifelong friendship with fellow students Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

In the next installment, Harry, Ron and Hermione battle a manifestation the Dark Lord, looking for the Chamber of Secrets, to save Ron's sister Ginny

The Prisoner of Azkaban is perhaps the darkest of the series where Harry meets the dreaded Dementors. It's also here that he forms a strong bond with his late father's friend, Harry's own godfather Sirius Black, accused of betraying the Potter’s to Voldemort.

The Goblet of Fire is an epic, incidentally ALSO starring the future twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson, as the two compete for the Triwizard Cup. Here's where Potter faces off against a revived Voldemort, and barely escapes with his life.

The Order of the Phoenix released just three years ago ... focusing on the secret society dedicated to fighting Voldemort and his Death-Eaters... trying to convince and unbelieving public that the Dark Lord is back.

That brings us to a more grown-up Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince where we learn more about Voldemort as a boy, and also, his young rival Draco Malfoy. The movie has it all - romance, danger, and a teenage universe where friendship counts for everything - even with a war going on.

And finally, the first part of the grand finale -- a teaser of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 releases on November 19. The second part hits theatres next year.
