Now that I sit back and think, I can't remember exactly when did I pick up my first Harry Potter book. But it changed my life from that moment on. The craze was such that I finished reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in just a span of 5-10 days. But the sad part was when I had to wait for a year for Rowling to give us details on Harry's love life! For the next book I remember going to the bookstore early in the morning and standing in the queue, for the next one I was even more anxious. What was more miserable was I knew there would be no more fascinating Harry stories after another two books.
I may come across countless other fantasy novels but what Harry has etched in my heart can't be replaced by anybody. With Harry I have grown up, cried, shared his fears, sorrows and love too. Harry has taught me to face my fears boldly with a firm belief in myself. My teacher had told me once that as young minds, the kind of books we read determines our course of life. I am glad that I had picked up Harry Potter at an age when I based my foundation on Rowling's amazing piece! I won't call myself a fan of his but there's something more to it. He's like the buddy I have grown up with, learnt our life's lessons together.
Harry Potter, you have an irreplaceable place in my life. You are not just a character from the book but a real life friend for me! (No I am not hallucinating!)
Will write soon!
