Harry Potter and the Magic of Rowling's Works

Posted on the 03 December 2011 by Vandanan @vandanan_m

I am not a VERY avid reader, but I do enjoy books. I first started reading Harry Potter when I was, I think 11 or 12. I had the first book, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' with me even before, but at that time, I considered it to be too big a book. But when once I fell ill, and I was bored lying on the bed, i decided to reaqd a book. Fortunately, The Harry Potter book was what i chose. I began reading, and i forgot all the things i had on my mind against my intention of reading it. JK Rowling's style of writing was so amazing, beautiful, that you just cant put the book down.
The story is basically built upon the idea that there are people who can perform magic, and people like us are non magic folks, or muggles. The magic people do not reveal their existance to the muggles. Harry is an extraodrdinary boy 'who lived' the killing curse ( which no one else but Harry survived ) which was performed by 'Lord Voldermort', the bad guy, who uses magic in the bad way. The seven years Harry, Ron and Hermione spend in the castle, or Hogwarts, the wizarding school, is a story to read.
However, nowadays' kids dont just understannd how much more amazing it is to read the book, as opposed to just stare in front of the movie screen. It is actually true what they say- reading is better, because YOU DONT HAVE TO see the movie, but it is almost like you are the one who makes the movie, in your mind. And that feeling of utmost enjoyment, combined with Rowling's excellent writing is what makes Harry Potter so special. so please, READ. I'm not tellingyou should abandon thought of watching movies, but still, reading is better. Or better still, Read the book and then see the movie, like I did.
The next sad thing- it's all over, there'll be no more crowds of people screaming about Harry now, all seven books have been released, and the eight movies have been released too, but still, the book will forever remain amazing, and the magic, the enchantment of Harry Potter, will last forever.
