Hold to Your Dream

Author's note: Harry Potter is a big pat of my life. Hold to your Dream and never let it go.
Harry Potter is a book series that many people are be hesitant to read because of the bad reputation it has developed due to Christian religion and critics who don’t give the novels a chance.  Some people may want to read it, but won’t, because they don’t want to be made fun of. If you are being made fun of for doing something you like, should it matter? If you like something you shouldn’t let anything, or anybody take that away from you.

The characters in Harry Potter develop over time. If you read book after book, you can see the way they each blossom as a person. Take Harry for example. He originally starts off as a bullied and teased 11 year old.Over time he becomes a quick witted, funny, sarcastic, and talented 17 year old. Harry has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and at first he can’t handle it, but he soon learns to take it in stride.

Even though the characters are important to this story, the plot line that J.K Rowling creates has so many twists, turns, and clues, that it makes it a very interesting story. If you are on book 3 and you realize that she was cluing you in on something in the first book, it makes it far more interesting than the average story.  You start to think wow, how clever.  Imagination is a key part of the creation to this story; it helps make the plot line as thick and mulch-layered as it is.

Although the characters and the plot are very important to this story, the vocabulary J.K Rowling has used throughout the series helps make the story have more depth. When there is dialect the writer doesn’t dumb it down, she uses words that the character would use. Hermione Granger for example has a very advanced vocabulary because she is a very studious student. Rubeus Hagrid is a very tall and burly character thus making his vocabulary less advanced than Hermione’s.

Detailing is another important part that makes this story flourish. Even the littlest of details can have a big significance later on in the story. For example, Dumbledore  the headmaster of Hogwarts and a key part to the stories, vanquishes a Horcrux. This Horcrux had a stone in it, one book later that stone is used to revive Harry’s loved ones. 

No matter what people say to you, never let your dreams disappear. Even though the series is misunderstood, people should give Harry Potter a chance.  A point some people should never ignore is J.K Rowling’s amazing attention to detail, her ability to change characters over time, and the way the plot thickens in this fantastic series.
