Harry Potter is famous for having survived an attack by Lord Voldemort when he was only one year old. Voldemort was one of the most powerful wizards that ever lived. Harry's parents were killed in their home while protecting Harry from Voldemort. Harry's dad died first, dueling Voldemort while telling his mother to take Harry and go. Harry's mother sacrificed herself to save her Harry and placed him under ancient magic that protected him from Voldemort. Voldemort tried to kill young Harry Potter, but his curse backfired, leaving him without a body while Harry survived unscathed. Lord Voldemort did not die but lost his powers, and it led to his exile from the wizard community. Ever since then, Harry has been a bit of celebrity, because he was the only person known to survive the Killing Curse.
