Explained simply
Harry Potter is a series of books by British author J K Rowling, centred on a young wizard who attends Hogwarts, a school for magic. The Wizarding World is the name used for the wider fictional setting, including its characters, places and stories.
Pottermore Publishing produces digital and audio editions connected to the series. Gryffindor is one of Hogwarts’s four houses, and its common room is the shared space where members gather. Audio productions can combine spoken narration, music and sound effects; Dolby Atmos is a sound format designed to make audio seem to come from different directions.
