***WARNING! THIS DOES CONTAIN A FEW SPOILERS. SO AGAIN, IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS OR SEEN THE MOVIES, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR RUINING ANYTHING!!***
Okay so I know I just posted part one a couple hours ago, but here's part two. I had written part two last night, but it was posted on a different blog site I had, and upon moving here, I just transferred the blog. But in general, I'll only have one blog a day, aside from the randomness page.
So aside from the immense (I just love that word) amount of love that is in the books (see previous post), I find the books completely relatable. Why? Because most everyone in the world wishes they were magical.
Other than that, the problems Harry and all of his friends go through, are the same basic things we all go through. No we don't have wands and we can't cast spells or brew potions, but as teenagers, we all have/had problems that were hard on us. Almost everyone at some point has been shunned by our peers, judged, name called, bullied, and all of those other bad things that seem to happen to Harry. But we've all (hopefully) have had friends that never leave us, are completely loyal to us, even when we fight. I have three best friends like that. I've been friends with Kool Kat (you know who you are, even if I haven't called you that in years) since sixth grade, which was, gawd, in 2000..... maybe. I think that's right. The other two I haven't been friends with nearly as long, but are just as important to me as she is.
We all find ourselves in the Harry Potter series. We find that we wish we were there, that our friends are like some of the characters, and that we may even find solutions to our problems just by reading them. Like I said previously, the series opened up the whole world of reading to me. And for that, I'm eternally grateful to J. K. Rowling.
Another reason I love the books is because the women in them are so strong, extremely good examples of what every girl should strive to be. Even the evil Bellatrix is someone to sort of take example from. They are all of them strong in their opinions, beliefs, and desires. They all know what they want, how to get it, and when they want it by. Bellatrix is confident in the man she follows and devotes herself to, despite his mercilessness. Hermione is basically a nerd, and she has her fair share of putting up with people making fun of her knowledge, even from one of the teachers. Ginny is a very good example of patience. She liked, if not loved, Harry since she was ten. But he didn't return her love until the sixth book. And in the meantime, she didn't curl in a ball and let it take over her life. She went out and got herself a boyfriend. Many boyfriends. All of the women in this series are like this.
Again, sorry if parts of this post doesn't make sense, I'm a master at getting sidetracked.
