The Harry Potter series although
untouched for a few years, is a book that I go back to for powerful quotes and
comedic parts. Even looking at the cover of the books anywhere in the world is
a pleasantly elegiac experience. The desire to go back in time and devour them
is heightened every time I notice a child reading a book from the series. I
guess the special connection exists because I grew up with the books. As the
books came out one by one, I was turning into a more mature growing adult. The
books share a small part of my thought evolution. I may not be your typical
fanatic; but I am the one who reveres the author’s intellect and what the books
hold in itself.
Growing up, I had insecurities. I
saw a Harry Potter in myself. When I recognized the rude, selfish and evil
people around me and when I saw that they got what they wanted through their
misdeeds; a sense of perplexity developed. Now I can say that I followed a more
righteous path and that required the courage and bravery that Harry most
obviously displayed. And on this journey, I met great people, made wonderful
friends and learned a great many lessons. It’s a series that’s always been a
mentor and a childhood entertainment.
When I started the series, I went
in with zero expectations but now it is a series that matters a lot to me. It’s
like the butterfly effect : As the pages of the book flipped and as the time
flied, the positive impact it had on me became immense and inestimable.
My heartfelt thanks to
J.K.Rowling for creating and writing this amazing series!
