“Y do you still read Harry Potter?”This is the question asked to me by all my friends and well wishers .They ask me”why dont you try to grow up why are you still reading children books?”.Perhaps I dont have an answer, I love harry potter may be because it was my first book,or I fell a prey to unfolding magical charm of Rowling’s writings.Or indeed may be I didnt wish to grow up.I stick around harry potter reading it rereading it like some sort of bible completely drawn towards it.I read harry potter for the first time in my fourth grade and still keep on reading it.
A girl of my age must actually be drawn into romances but I dont know why I dont give a damn to it .I read them just because it is a book and I if I love the plot but nothing creates an impact like harry potter did.I can recollect a few years back a teacher of my college was criticizing harry potter I felt like hitting her hard on the face but manners I hold myself back (especially to escape the punishment aftermath).I read books,It is better to say I gobble books down November I read more than 50 books.I am banned to read books in my house .My parents will disinherit me if I read anymore books.They have stopped buying me books .I actually dont like ebooks but now they are my only refuge .I sneak out at night to read books.I am not sure is it because of harry potter being my first book I am not easily pleased with books.I read Chetan Bhagats books just to laugh hard.I have read more books than anyone around me still never found one better than harry potter.
I am at times insane until my sixth grade believed I too would get a letter from Hogwarts.I make sure I read the whole series at least once in a month.Is it because of Harry a poor innocent boy with a scar who is ready to sacrifice his life for his friends,the wonderful Weasley family,Hedwig ,Hagrid or I wish to have a principal Dumbledore with his long beard and quick wit,the quiddich ,the snitch,the gryffindor common room,the dark forests,the phoenix,dobby the house elf or butter beer and three broomstick or is it Snape’s selfless love towards Harry or power hungry Voldemort or the magic itself which unfolds in every page bewitched me.
I wish Hogwarts castle was true Harry was real the hallows and hocruxes were real .I wish to walk in those corridors ,practice those spells learn transfiguration and charm run around wear cloaks be a witch but almost everything is impossible .but as long as harry potter books makes kids to read it is magic in itself.Magic that introduces kids to read makes them to dream to imagine .What do you think?
