Thirteen Reasons for Loving Harry Potter
(This is not the book exclusively, nor the movies exclusively, and there are no spoilers)- Neville. (Love him.)
- Luna was perfectly cast in the 5th movie. Can't wait to see her in the next one/s.
- The Weasley twins' antics. So much fun.
- Rowling tells a good story. (Not going into editing, nor technical aspects of the books... just the story.)
- Phoenixes and unicorns and hippogriffs, oh my!
- Trying to make the connection between a character's name, the myth/legend/etc. behind the name, and then figuring out what will happen before the plot gets to that point... (For example - did any of you know that Bellatrix is the name of a star in the constellation Orion, and that Sirius is a star in the constellation of Orion's dog?)
- Didn't you ever want to discover that you weren't normal, but really belonged to a part of this other, special world? Did you ever try to escape through a closet (few wardrobes in my area of the states) or try wishing yourself somewhere else or stare at a lightswitch trying to discover telekinetic powers?
- Gary Oldman.
- Flying cars and motorbikes!
- I wanna be an animagus.
- John Williams outdid himself on Hedwig's theme.
- Come on - it's magic. Like Potter or hate it, it's magic. (And it gets kids reading instead of watching TV.)
- QUIDDITCH!
(I'm kneeling at the bottom right of the pic.)
