Happy Birthday, Harry James Potter! Happy Birthday, J.K. Rowling!
I just wanted to give a shout-out to the protagonist of one of my favorite
book series ever, as well as the author who has been one of my biggest
inspirations.
“It matters not what someone is born, but
what they grow to be.”
Words cannot express how much the Harry Potter series have meant to
me over the years, or how profoundly my life has been affected by the
books. From Hermione I learned the importance of sticking up for your beliefs
and how intelligence can be such a strength. From Ron I learned about loyalty
and the power of friendship. From Harry I learned to treasure family, the power
of love, the importance of sacrifice, and how to live a life full of
good morals.
Although Harry's wizarding world may not be real, it's given me a better
understanding of our own world, how important each and every person's life is,
and how our decisions will always have bigger implications. There may be
problems in his world, just as there are in ours, but there's also always hope.
“We're all human, aren't we? Every human
life is worth the same, and worth saving.”
Thank you, J.K. Rowling. If I can ever affect anyone as the Harry Potter
series have affected me and so many others, I should consider my life to be
well-spent.
Happy birthday!
