HARRY POTTER

In my review of Enid Blyton’s school stories, I had promised the Harry Potter fans that I would soon write about Harry and his friends. So, today I am here to keep my promise.
I have been a proud book worm since my childhood days. But for some reason, maybe for the too much hype it created, I never thought that I would like Harry Potter. I could never understand the concept of people getting crazy with someone flying on a broom. So, I had not read Harry Potter for a long time. And then some magic happened and I became one amongst the million HP fans.
I was in Chennai for my job. I was new to the software industry, in fact, it was my first project. New city, new surroundings without many friends. So, of course, I started spending more time with my friend forever – books. So this is how after having read whatever was available to me, I thought about giving HP a try. I am thankful that I did.

I started on this magical journey and I read one book after other and was totally addicted. The journey of friendship and magic, of wisdom and greatness, of love and family, made me overjoyed and elated. While some parts made me cry, and unknowingly I would wipe a tear or two as I read on...
 I could never believe that Dumbledore could die, and till the last book, I kept thinking that he would somehow come back. Also, how I loved Fred and George. Why did Fred have to die? The book would have remained equally interesting if he would have lived till the. Another of my favorite character is Sirius. His association with Harry should have been longer (Dumbledore thought so too, and so do I)

Now for some of my favorite parts from HP which never fails to bring a smile to my face:

• When Hagrid crashes down the door in the middle of the night to announce that Harry is a wizard.
• Harry meeting Ron, their first ride on the Hogwarts express
• When Harry and Hermione save Buckbeak and Sirius 
• In the last book when Ron comes back, saves Harry.
• When they fly on a dragon’s back from Gringott’s !!!
• When Ginny asks James to give their love to Neville and James responds saying: Mum! I can't give a professor love!................... I can't walk into Herbology and give him love....”. Hillarious. 
• and manyyyyyyy more

Well, there are too many to list…I can go about writing this. But then this is just to stir your thoughts. Maybe you can go back and pick your favorite one from the series and read it again. I am going to do exactly that this weekend. Don't forget to leave a comment with your favorite lines from HP!
