As soon as I was old enough to read, I read
Harry Potter; and ever since I have been captivated by J.K Rowling’s world, I
love all the magic, the castles and most importantly I love the characters.
Dumbledore was always my favourite character - next to Hagrid and Hermione of
course. Dumbledore was almost like a
role model, someone to look up to in a moment of need. What would Dumbledore do? I would ask myself.
Apart from Dumbledore, Hagrid has always
been my favourite character; he’s probably the best friend Harry, Ron and
Hermione could have hoped to have. He is kind, caring and almost has a fathers
love for Harry. And even though he really does seem to be a blundering idiot
from time to time, I really do love Hagrid.
And then there’s Hermione. I remember how
the young bossy character from The
Philosophers Stone grew up and turned into a beautiful young witch – both
in the books and in the movies. Something I remember from when I was really
young, before the first Harry Potter movie came out was that no one knew how to
pronounce Hermione; and as I later found out that this is why J.K. Rowling made
Viktor Krum’s character challenged in
pronouncing her name in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Many years ago, when Harry Potter and the
Order of the Phoenix was published; we went down the coast. I can still picture
my mother lounging around the little cabin we had stayed at, just reading Harry
Potter. And even though we were down there for about a week; my mum still
hadn’t finished it, and so when we got home I still had to wait to read it. But
when the time came and I got the chance to read it, I read it about a hundred
times! It was so far the best Harry Potter book Jo had written; and to this day
it’s still one of my favourites.
I remember lining up to buy Harry Potter
and the Deathly Hallows, the line went all the way out of the main doors of the
shopping centre and almost all of them were in costume. I wasn’t, I hadn’t even
thought of dressing up for the occasion; and as for the other books, I don’t
even remember buying them – I was either too young or someone had bought them
for me.
Lastly, I wanted to talk about how many
times I have read each one; and I have to say that I have read them so many
times that they are literally held together with sticky tape. The words are
smudged, and the pages crinkled; but I guess that’s just how we show our love
for a book – especially when that book is Harry Potter.
Harry potter is a great thing to write about. there are so many things to worite about i wouldnt know where to begin. you have managed to capture the essence of the stories, and make it sound interesting to want to read.
