If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably know that I'm a little obsessed with Harry Potter. The books, the movies, the theme park, basically anything Harry Potter related. As a younger girl, I've always heard this question: What is so great about Harry Potter? If you asked that question before, my answer to you is that the series teaches many life lessons. It provides a different world you can escape to. There are so many characters in the series, some of which you can relate to and others who you just despise. But this isn't about the characters I like or dislike, but how the Harry Potter series has affected my life and what it has taught me.
1) Love is the most powerful magic of all.
This message is very clear throughout the whole series, starting from the Sorcerer's Stone and ending at the Deathly Hallows. Harry's mother had died to protect him, thus preventing Voldemort from killing him. This lesson is very true in the real world. Although, it may not necessarily be "magic", but love is powerful.
2) Friends will always be friends.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione have been through a lot in their school years. Sure, they have gotten in trouble together. Yes, there were points where they were angry at one another. But they have always remained friends. In the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry and Ron hated Hermione because she was bossy. In the Prisoner of Askaban, Ron was mad at Hermione because of her cat. In the Goblet of Fire, Ron was angry at Harry for not telling him that Harry put his name in the goblet. In the Half-Blood Prince, Hermione disliked Ron for a period of time because she was a bit jealous. My point is, that they have been through ups and downs, but managed to stay friends.
3) The villains may not look like villains.
In other words, the people you may dislike might not be so bad if you get to know them. In the Harry Potter series, Harry hated Snape for most of his years in Hogwarts, but when he was about to die, Harry knew the truth--Snape, in reality, was not as horrible as Harry thought he was. I try to apply this to my own life. In other words, I try to focus on the positive side of people.
If you have not read Harry Potter yet (WHAT?!), I encourage you to read the series!
