As some of
you might know I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. I’ve devoured the books many times,
I’ve seen the movies several times and I just love everything about Harry
Potter and J.K. Rowling. So since yesterday was the 20 year anniversary, of the
day the first book ‘Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone’ was published. I
thought it would be fun to share with you 20 things I love about Harry Potter.
1.
I
love the World J.K. Rowling created. I love the idea of wizards living between
us normal ‘muggles’. Although there are definitely some bad people living in
the world J.K. Rowling created, I would love to be a part of the wizard
community.

I
love Hogwarts. I am a total geek who loves to learn and make projects and do
homework (Yep I admit it) and being able to learn and life at Hogwarts would be
simply amazing. Not only is Hogwarts a beautiful castle, but is also is filled
with mystery and beautiful objects. Yes, I’m still waiting on my acceptance
letter.

I
love how each school year is a new book. It really feels like I’m a part of the
Harry Potter world since I’ve been with Harry Potter for all of his school
years. And I loved reading how each school year went for Harry.

4. I
love the friendships in Harry Potter. Not only the friendship between Harry,
Ron and Hermoine, but also the friendship between Harry and Neville and Luna
Lovegood.
5.
I
love Quidditch. I love that J.K. Rowling created this whole new sport. I’m not
a big fan of sports in general, but I would definitely go see a game of
Quidditch.

I
love Hagrid. Who doesn’t love this big, kind and a bit strange man who charmed
us from the moment he brought Harry to life with the Dursleys. I loved reading
about him in the different books. He definitely stole my heart.

I
love Hedwig. I always had a thing for owls. They just have this mysterious
magical feeling about them. And I love that Harry Potter has this beautiful
Snow Owl. The scenes with Hedwig in the movies are just breathtaking.

I
love how Harry was never arrogant about who he was. Everyone is the wizarding
world knew who he was, but he always stayed the way he was. He never took
anything for granted. And he never felt better than others.

I
love the Hogwarts library and all those books that are supposedly there. I wish
I could visit that library. I would love to browse through those corridors and
read all those books. Even the weird ones. That would definitely be my book
bloggers dream.

I
love Albus Dumbledore. Yes, that character really was my hero throughout the
Harry Potter books. Most of the times I didn’t really get him, but I loved how
mysterious and wise he was. I literarily cried for days when Albus Dumbledore
died in ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’.

11.
I
love House Elves, and especially Dobby. Don’t you just love that small, ugly
but kind creature who tried to save Harry Potter? Although his help doesn’t
always work out the way he wants too, he at least tries his best.

I
love the Weasleys. Throughout the Harry Potter series my favorite wizard family
were definitely the Weasleys. I just love those redheaded, kind and warm
people. Arthur and Molly definitely stole my hearts when they treated Harry
like he was one of their own.

I
love Professor Snape. Severus Snape was one of those characters that I hated but
also loved. In the first view books hating him was my top feeling, but slowly throughout
the series I became to love him more. I still feel like there is so much more
about his character then we got know.

I
love the different foods and drinks we got to know in the series. Butterbeer,
Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Cauldron Cake.. I wish we
could try them all.

I
love platform 9 ¾. I know it’s just a train station, but I always loved the
idea of this magical place just next to the ‘muggles’.

I
love the Forbidden Forest. Throughout the books Harry visited the Forest several
times and I always loved finding out what kind of creatures we got to meet.
Although some creatures were definitely a little scary, I would love to walk
there and see these magical creatures.

I
love Diagon Alley. Wouldn’t you love to shop there? I know I do. If only that
place would really exist. One day I hope to visit the Harry Potter parks in
London or Orlando and the Diagon Alley they created there.

I
love Hermoine. I love Harry and Ron too off course. But my favorite character
has always been Hermoine. I loved how well-read and smart she is. If Hermoine
really would exist I would definitely want to be here friend.

I
love how even after all these years I still keep wondering about things in the
Harry Potter world. How are the characters doing? Who is teaching at Hogwarts? Is
Hagrid still the gamekeeper?

I
love that Harry Potter and it’s fans are still as ‘alive’ now as when it was
years ago. I love that children now still get to experience Harry Potter and
become fans. I love that there is still so much happening around Harry Potter,
thinking of new movies and attractions all over the world.

There are
still many more reasons why I love everything about Harry Potter. I’ve recently
joined the Wizarding World Book Club where we get to re-read the books again,
and talk and discuss with each other everything there is about the books. I
love it.

You must be shocked. I havent read HP yet. I'm planning to though. I've watched some of the movies and enjoyed them. Glad to read this, hon. You make me want to try the series even more. 🙂
Ow Wow!! That is shocking.. But it also means you get to experience the books for the first time which also makes me a little jealous! LOL!!
I hope you'll love them as much as I did. 😉
