I didn't pick out one book from the series because the seven books together present a wonderful story. Honestly, I don't need to write about this phenomenal series. However, it seemed appropriate to start a book blog with my favourite series of books. Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived. Where do I start? The most remarkable thing about it is that the series has many themes attached to it. As you progress you discover the layers of this series. Superficially, it appears to be a fantasy story of a boy and his friends who fight against the most dangerous wizard of all time. As you keep reading, you realize that it is a story of love, friendship,bravery and sacrifice. It touches your heart. However, when you read the last three books, The Order of Phoenix, The Half Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows, you come to know of the underlying theme- Death. It teaches us how inevitable death is. It is the condition to life. The books have actually shaped me and my perception.
Aside from the lessons the books teach us, the intricacy of the plot is mind blowing. Every single line turns out to be important (fans will know what I mean). The characters become so dear to us that we laugh and cry with them. Even when I re-read the books, I laugh at every joke and cry for my beloved characters' death. Harry's sass and Ron's, Fred's and George's sarcasm appeal to every witty reader's sense of humour.
Harry Potter really does work its magic upon you. It satisfies our hunger for great books. More importantly though, it changes lives for the better. Quidditch, the countless spells, the subjects (Divination and History of Magic included), Floo Network, Gringotts, Diagon Alley and above all Hogwarts (my home) are a great part of my life.
I cannot express how very attached I am to Harry Potter. Kudos to J.K. Rowling, our Queen, for creating this masterpiece.
