the Legacy of Harry Potter..

The Harry Potter series is about to finish as the last installment of movies is the only part left for release. What is it that our hero Harry Potter is going to leave for us? There are a number of questions that start coming to our mind when we seriously think about it. How is the younger generation going to react? Will they just forget Harry Potter like many other fables that they read in their childhood? Or are they going to crave to see their hero again? The answer to these questions cannot be given as of now.

According to J.K. Rowling, the central theme of the series is 'Death'. Is it fine for the young ones to think about the matters related to life and death, at this early age? Or should they just see the magic in the story? Anyway, they will make their own decisions.

As far as I am concerned, I cannot and will not scrap off Harry Potter from my memory as it has been a part of my life for nearly 10 long years. Most of us have grown up reading Harry Potter books and saying out the spells at random. The things that I would like the younger generation to pick from this series are - the friendship that Harry, Ron & Hermione share, also, Ginny, Luna & Neville; the trust that they have over each other.

There is one definite message that Harry Potter gives us, "At the end, our choices make us what we are". There is always a choice between the good and the bad, the right and the wrong....and we can choose to be good..!!

Keep the sunny side up..!!

Do send me your owls..!!

Friends..this is something that all of us ought to know, encourage and participate, yes, I am talking about Quidditch which is played, celebrated and recognised. Last month the International Quidditch Association organised the Fourth Quidditch World Cup ..and what an event it was!!

If you are a true Harry Potter fan, you've got to witness this sport, after all it is the most popular sport in the wizarding world and aren't we a part of it..!!
You won't believe the sort of participation this event witnessed..so..check this link for some facts and figures : http://www.internationalquidditch.org/worldcup.html

And here's a video from the event :





So, I expect you all to write back ...I'll be waiting for your replies.
Take care and be a snitch seeker ..!!

Harry Potter : Speculation or not?

There are certain loopholes in Harry Potter books, or atleast so they say.

One that I have been wanting to discuss is from the second book : Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

WHY : The hissing sound is heard only by Harry?

My Reason supporting the question would be: Its true and clearly mentioned in the book that Harry is a parsel-tongue, but, even others should have been able to hear it since it was a sound though Harry could have been the only to understand what the creature was saying. Isn't this a blunder in the book?

Prof. Lockhart, Hermione, Ron were with Harry at some point of time or another when Harry heard the sound but none of them were able to hear it. Was it something to do with Voldemort and Harry's scar, the connection between them or some other phenomenon that has not been well explained in the books? And if Harry Potter was able to hear it, why didn't he try to understand what the Basilisk wanted to say?

Do tell me what do you think about this little flaw. If you have the reasons to prove otherwise, please write back to me. I would to love to listen from you all.

Also, if you have any such questions that you wish to ask, feel free to post them here. Your participation is really important.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE ;-)

the girl who entered the Harry Potter book..!!

Natalie McDonald, who appears on pg. 159 of the book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.. is a real person. Natalie was a 9 yr old girl, a patient of leukaemia from Toronto, Canada. She wrote an email to JK to know what would happen in the next book of Harry Potter because she said she won't live long enough to read the book. When JK replied to her mail, she died just a day before. In her memory, JK wrote her name in the book..as a first year student who gets sorted into Gryffindor house. Later, while promoting her book, she visited the McDonald family.
