Random Comments on Harry Potter

There is something about a book that grabs your attention immediately. The moment you open a book and begin reading its contents, something makes you want to keep reading, nonstop.

In the case of the Harry Potter books, there is so much more than this. Not only do these stories draw your attention, but they give you both a fantasy, that makes you dream, and a reality that you can relate to.

For me, plots of adventure, action, and heroic motions keep my attention, but what I have always truly loved in a story is the element of a nobody becoming a somebody. Harry Potter starts out at the bottom of the scale, just barely getting to go to school, and then he finds out that he is a very powerful wizard. He becomes a somebody and proves once and for all that no matter how lonely you may feel, there is always hope.

I first started having an interest in Harry Potter when the movies came out, but then I read the books and got hooked.

There is something about the books that entrance you, as if you, yourself, were a wizard taking place in the journey. To become part of the book is something that not many books make happen for the reader. However, in Harry Potter you are lifted into the air on a broomstick, chasing after the golden snitch, running away from the bad guys, standing up for everything that is right, for the good guy, and showing that good conquers evil!

Everything in the story is so detailed. Every intricate sentence is composed of words that are easy to understand and that give a good interpretation of the events in the story. Things do not just happen, they are laid out and give well rounded meaning to what is happening so that even the most impossible things seem possible.
