What is the Potter DB?

The Harry Potter DB is an API with data from the Harry Potter Universe: Characters, Movies, Books, Spells and Potions.

Where can I find the API?

There are 2 endpoints for the API, you can either use the REST API or the GraphQL API.

I just want to look up things from the Harry Potter Universe. Where can I do that?
