The reason why one should watch HARRY POTTER
Twenty years ago an author by the name of JK Rowling introduced the “Muggle World” to a wizard by the name of Harry Potter. And I was introduced to him when I was around 7 or 8 , I mean almost 13 years ago. POGO was the first ever channel to telecast the block buster movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer`s stone for the first time in Indian television back in 2004. I still remember that day because I was MADE to watch that movie. Yes you read it correctly I was forcefully made to sit on the sofa in between my mom and dad. And then few attempts to escape the place because totally unaware what kind of movie it will be…but for sure not animated one ..no tom and jerry fight.. no popeye and olive ..but some random guy named harry (after watching its trailer in between ads). I felt awful at that time ..because I was not at all not even a single bit interested in watching that movie. But now I really don’t regret for that act of my parents capturing me and pinning down to sofa 'tween them. Thank god they did that. Else I would have missed an awesome blossom block buster movie. So now .. after that I have been captured and locked .. the movie starts. The first scene …professor Albus Dumbledore is walking through a street flicking off all the lights of the street.. I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t move my eyelids..am curious now but that irritating advertisements is playing… am like whats next ? what other torture will his uncle and aunt may give? Why are they treating him like that? Why didn’t leave that house yet and many more because by then ME has become a very sympathetic , empathetic , ever caring person for Harry . I was like.. if I had an option to bring him to my home I would have done that at first…would have given the love of a mother to him. I mean… from what rubbish film to a thought of adopting Harry . now the ad ends.. next scene which drove me crazy. Harry does the weirdest shopping ever ..especially buying that WAND! And pet as an owl???. I mean why on earth one would buy an owl as a pet.. but guess what… owl acts as a postmaster..an unimaginable theory of my mind at that time. So fascinating . and yes how can I miss the train catching scene ..while talking about weirdest and fascinating stuffs about the movie. 9 3/4 platform.! Harry gets a ticket on which its been instructed that he has to board his train at 9 3/4 platform. He was confused in the movie and so was me! And you know how he catches his train he has to rush towards the wall (between 9th and 10th platform) and …voila !! He is in THE 9 3/4th PLATFORM. Am starstruck,j aw-dropped, breathtaking moment, away from this world, but again that ad. Frankly speaking , I literally asked my dad “ would I also be reaching to 224 3/4 quarter if I run fastly through that wall(the wall that separates my quarter and my neighbors’ quarter)??. My dad just smiled. I was so excited !Extremely! Funny right !? I even imagined a school like Hogwartts where students are made to learn magics and spells fight against the evil , black magics.Everyone who's read Harry Potter will have fond memories of practicing their wand twirling action in front of the mirror, muttering "Expelliarmus" over and over again in the vague but undying hope that something will actually happen and that magic is indeed real.
Even though our Hogwarts letters may never have arrived, though, we'll always have the memories. And the spells. ALOHAMORA spell that makes everything levitate..
I am in love an irrevocable love, a true love, deep love, madly in love with the protagonist. The main reason is that all superheroes that we come across have always been gifted either by supernatural powers or extra smart brain but how many can boast of having nothing of this sort and still having created a long lasting ‘good guy’ image? In my opinion its just him, HARRY. Agreed that that he has a magic wand and can do all sorts of stuff but doesnt everybody in Hogwarts have magic wands??? He is a hero that the current generation can relate to . Except him being magician, everything he does is like everyone of us. Like hanging out with friends or hating Snapes.
The BONUS : "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light."
