Pottermania....

What makes harry potter so popular? Is it the magical world or Hogwarts or extraordinary in the ordinary element. I think every bit of these have contributed to its popularity. But the last one is the main ingredient that has grasped the hearts of millions. Harry potter is the name of that part of us that is weak and that craves for love. he is not a character that is a part of some far fetched imagination but  is the portrayal of an ordinary person that  like us is the victim of circumstances. It is the character with which one can relate. Harry has molded step by step, holding our hands, he has shown us his own inner self which anchors us with him. We experience what it is to lose dear ones, to be hated, to have good friends and to be in love. 

                                   I remember when I first met harry potter. Our friendship began with “harry potter and the chamber of secrets”. The first couple of lines were enough to glue me to it, till last. It was an amazing journey. Every line was punctuated with emotions. Characters were larger than life. Hermoine, Ron, Ginny, George, Fred, our own dear harry and many other. The whole canvas of characters seems to embrace us. Some characters are evil too which gives edge to the emotions. But the most admirable lot, Harry and his close friends, steals the show and the feature that makes them out stand all is their simplicity. When I finished the book, I wanted more and than I got all the books. And each book was highly gripping. I felt every lows and highs of harry. The more reality was poured by the visualization of the series. Like every potter’s fan, it was a gift to me. Watching your hero on screen which only lived in lines was amazing. Now as the end of this mighty phenomena called harry comes near, I feel my heart breaking. But as the end is inevitable, I have to accept it. But I know harry potter, my friend and my love is never going to die. He will live in my heart and in the hearts of millions of his fans. The books and movies have breathed into him and in his world an immortal breathe. I will continue experiencing the same thrill and fun by rereading   the books and watching the movies.
