I used to despise the Harry Potter series , I couldn't understand the reason my sister went crazy over it! I mean she read all 6 books ( 7th book wasn't released yet ) repeatedly. Like didnt the effect of reading it over and over wear off ? What was the whole point of reading it over and watching the movies repeatedly when you already know WHAT HAPPENS ? I asked her this of course and she replied, " I just can't get over it" .
I woke up one day and she was watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire, I sat up and watched with her. I couldn't deny it was a great movie , so I tried the books . I read sorcerer's stone and put it down after I read the first page. It was boring.
Well they say second time's a charm right ? right. I was in 6th grade and we went to the school library, I'd read all of the interesting books there so I just checked out Goblet of Fire , just to give it a chance. I LOVED IT ! That day marked an important step in my life, I conquered my fears for trying new things and I learned how to challenge myself. Harry Potter channeled every emotion possible so I could read it any mood. It was like me and the characters were entwined; I was them , I walked down corridors, I got a D in potions, I was a wizard !!!!!!
I know it's a cliche , however Harry Potter was like a brand new world, an environment that I fit it, it was my niche. I'd be okay in school if no one spoke to me or the boy I liked didn't like me back , because Harry went through all of that too. Everyone thinks Harry Potter is this sci-fi fantasy when in reality it was coming of age story brilliantly recorded. I've read each Harry Potter book more than 2 time each, the effect of reading them over and over never wore off instead I caught things I didn't see the first time. So each time I read it, I'd still get excited about it.
