Throughout the last 10 years or so there has been Harry Potter book after Harry Potter book, and HP Movie after HP Movie. My preference is the books (since they are completely and utterly brilliant) but I like the movies too.
As cheesy and strange as this sounds I am so grateful for these books. Not only have they provided me with years of entertainment but opened up a knew world for me and the rest of the people who have read them and have provided characters that I have grown to love.
Although I cannot say Harry Potter has changed or heavily influenced my life for good or bad, I am grateful for them none the less. I feel that these books teach good principals and give hope to those who believe that good will always triumph over evil.
I don't know how to express how I feel about these books. I know that it sounds crazy and stupid, but they are so real to me and mean a lot to me. I know that it isn't real and I'm not going to start dressing like in wizard's robes or carrying a wand or anything like that, but I am not going to say that the "moral" of the story isn't real and the things taught in it are not relevant in my life because they are.
"Of course it's all in your head, but why should that mean it's not real?" -Albus Dumbledore
I am sad to see Harry Potter end. However, I am so glad that it ended the way that it did. There is no better ending that could have been written, in my opinion. I know some of you will disagree, but really, I loved it.
Someday, in the future, I hope that my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on will be able to enjoy these fabulous books and connect to them the same way I have. I think it will be interesting to see how these books make their place in history. It is obvious that Harry Potter has been a historical event and phenomenon, I just hope that it continues to be loved by generation after generation.
So, there it is. My absolute nerdiness to the maximum. And I love it! Thank you Harry Potter! Thank you JK Rowling!
