One of the many Harry Potter fans

Sunday, January 25, 2009










Hi all! This time, I am discussing about Harry Potter books. Did you watch the books or movies released in the past years. I think most have, and I'm sure for those who did, all would talk about it vey highly. Well, I have just read the 5th book entilted Haarry Potter and The Order Of The Phoneix this year, for I am one of the many Harry Potter fans. It turned out to be an engaging and fascinating read, I simply could not take my eyes off it and in three days, I read the whole book!
I am sure you are now curious to find out how I have managed this amazing feat. Well, it is simply because of my great interest in Harry Potter books. Although it has a fantasy genre, it is not just about waving a wand and muttering some spells,or some unrealisic world like The Chronics of Narnia (No offence to Narnia fans!). Its tells of the close friendship between three main characters- Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry Potter became a famous wizard after he brought the downfall of Lord Voldermort. On the other hand, Ron is an ordinary wizard belonging to a poor family and Hermione is a muggle which means non-magical witch. However, the trouble begins when Lord Voldermort returns, determined to kill Harry for bringing his downfall. Despite the many tuffles they had with each other, their friendship remains strong. They worked united as one, and eventually, in spite of the numerous odds against them, they defeated Lord Voldermort.
The Harry Potter books also tells of the bravery of Harry, Ron and Hermione. All of them demonstrated courage, unafraid of their own safety, most willing to endanger their lives just to save others. For example, in the last book of the Harry Potter series, Harry had a choice to return to the real world or to choose to die. Returning to the real world meant that he would feel more pain. on the other hand, if he chose to die, he would not feel any pain as he is not longer in contact with the real world. But to prevent more families being torn apart and to give new hope to the fighters, he chose to return to the real world in spite of the great pain that was awaiting him. His willingness to endure great pain just to save others from it and bravery could be clearly seen.
Lastly, the plot of the Harry Potter series was very developed, there were aboslutely no loopholes that kept the readers questioing the plot. There were many twists and turns in the books too, for example, in the 4th book in the series, a dark wizard catcher, Mad-Eye-Moody admitted to be one of the followers of Lord Voldermort and made an attempt to kill Harry. However, at the last moment, Harry was rescued and it was later known that he was merely an imposter! At first, I had thought that Mad-Eye-Moody was an antagonist and Harry really had it. Wasn't it a dramatic twist? You bet it is!
Because of the above reasons, I find that the Harry Potter series is definitely one of the best books and undoubtly a worthwhile read. So what are you waiting for? Visit your nearest library and borrow the Harry Potter series!
