I've been a devoted Harry Potter fan since I was five. At that time, I didn't read the books, but just focused on the movies, and they fascinated me greatly. I knew all the spells oleh heart, and I used to say the lines as I watched the film again. I had acak Harry Potter stuff written down on my school books, and I used to make a wooden wand and practice all the non-existent spells.
Then, I moved to London, and there, my cousin forced me to read the books. It was the greatest thing I had ever done, and I thank my cousin for it. He shoved the first book in my face and said, "Read it! The film will be forgotten." At that time I was 7. Naturally, I read the first book and I was hooked. I read it all in one day, because I just couldn't set it down! I was obsessed, and the characters grew on me before I could say, "Wow."
Slowly, I started membaca all the books. The detik was better than the first, the third better than the second, the fourth better than the third and so on. oleh the time I was 9, I was waiting anxiously for the sixth book to come out. I used to sit down in front of the Internet and cari for the Half-Blood Prince, wondering what JKR would do next. I was 9, but I was lebih into buku than anything else. And my thanks goes out to JKR and her world of Harry Potter for that.
The sixth book came out and all the country went crazy! Children came to school with their copies, rushed their classwork and then started membaca the book. I was among them. And I read, and I read, and I read and honestly, I never stopped. I was done quite soon.
In 2005, Harry Potter and the Goblet of api hit the cinemas. I attended the midnight premiere with my cousin, and it was amazing. I loved it so much that I asked my parents to take me with my friends again. To ANOTHER midnight tampil the very selanjutnya day, and I watched it again and was even lebih inspired oleh it the detik time.
Then, I came back to my country and two years later, the Deathly Hallows was released. Here in my country, Harry Potter's not that famous, and people hardly care about buku here. It's all about the glamour world, and I used to get SO frustrated because everyone in london had read it, and I hadn't gotten the chance. My aunt went out, scanned almost the WHOLE city for the books, and finally she got it. And it was just... legendary.
That's the story of how I started and finished Harry Potter, but what does it mean to me? Honestly, it made me the person I am right now and I'm not exaggerating.
The Philosopher's Stone:
I learned about what parents mean to me. It made me realize how much they play a role in your lives, yet we're never grateful and we should look towards the people who don't have parents and think, "Thank God we have them." I realized that if my parents weren't here with me, they would be the one thing I would desire the most- nothing else would matter, and it made me cinta them more. Way more.
I learnt about the true value of friends, of school, of trust and loyalty. I learnt about how there's always evil in the world, it's always around us, but we can overcome it if only we try. With the wisdom of Dumbledore, I realized that death is nothing to be scared of.
The Chamber of Secrets:
I learnt how friends help each other in their times of need, and how much it hurts when one of your closest friends gets hurt. I learnt how anda CAN make a difference, and all anda have to do is try your hardest. I learnt about how much siblings matter- how much family matters.
I learnt about how people get pulled into others' traps, but there's always a way out. I learnt about how wrong things become that other people get blamed for something they haven't done, but anda have to trust in them.
The Prisoner of Azkaban
I learnt about overcoming my fears, and replacing them with joy and laughter. I learnt that things are not always what they seem, and we shouldn't blindly trust what others say. I learnt that sometimes, anda have to take a stand for what's right. Give others a chance. Forgive others, and tampil mercy because even if they're evil, anda don't have to be.
I learnt about detik chances and courage.
The Goblet of api
Here, I learnt about how age doesn't always matter, and that anda can overcome difficulties through your skill and knowledge. I learnt about new feelings such as love, tiny crushes, jealousy, and small fights. I learnt that even though friends fight, they make up and they're stronger than ever.
I learnt that even the most powerful, evil people have their fears, their weaknesses and that no one is void of fears. I've learnt that anda can help others whether they be competition atau not.
The Order of the Phoenix
Fight for what's right. Fight for the good of the whole world, and don't menyerahkan yourself to the bad things. How anda can take a stand even in the darkest times, and how anda can keep your friends close and they'll support anda through it all. I've learnt about how much family means to you. This book made me stronger mentally.
The Half-Blood Prince
This book introduced a whole new side of Harry Potter to me. The normal side. The things that all teenagers go through: lust and love. I realized how friends can always become a little more. I was introduced to the way people use others to make their cinta interests jealous, and that prepared me for the outside world because that really IS what happens.
The Deathly Hallows
Where to start? Sometimes, sacrificing your life for the greater good of things isn't something anda should hesitate in doing. Sometimes, anda have to risk your lives to keep the most important things safe. Sometimes, anda have to keep YOUR interests aside and go for the interests of the whole world.
friends stick oleh anda throughout it all. And those are true friends. I learnt to be loyal, brave and trustworthy. I learnt about loving my friends, my family. I learnt about compromise, giving up luxuries when it's important. I learnt about how merely three people can make a difference in the world.
I learnt about true love, and how sometimes, anda never pindah on but anda have to live, making your life worth it. Live for something good. I learnt about how even the purest of people make mistakes, and how that's only natural. I learnt about how badly it hurts when the person anda cinta dies.
I learnt about family values, friendship, good versus evil, sacrifice, compromise, justice and so much other stuff.
I am the person I am because of Harry Potter, and to me, it's the best moral conduct out there. Better than any movie, better than any uplifting song, better than any speech. It's entertaining, and it teaches anda so much. Hidden symbols, philosophies- everything included. This will go down in history. A classic. A legend.
A salute to J.K Rowling.
