To my Childhood


My generation has grown up with Harry Potter. We’ve grown attached to him- whether on purpose or by hearing Daniel Radcliffe say “Expecto Patronum!!” on screen. 





Spending hours reading the books in the school library, I fell in love with the adventures of his life. And then came the movies, which brought his story to life and also my imaginations. Daniel Radcliffe was and is the perfect Harry Potter, I could ever imagine. OOhh that face. So are Emma Watson as Hermione Granger and Rupert Grint as Ron.  And how could I forget Tom-irresistible- Felton as Draco Malfoy. Having grown up with Harry and his merry band of mischievous pals, i miss that feeling of excitedly waiting for the release of the next story in the series. We’ve sympathized with him when he mourned for his parents. We’ve felt hatred with him when he confronted Malfoy. We’ve felt happiness with him when he found love (a bit jealous though).





Ahhh and I wouldn’t be fair to my heart if I don’t mention Professor Severus Snape. That voice of his, like melting chocolate. Professor Snape’s life was the most definitely one of the best moments in the story. Snape and Lily forever and ALWAYS.













To me, the end of the Potter movie series coincided with the end of my Graduation (2011 that is)- seeing all your friends go, wondering if you would ever see them again, crying while you hug those who are gone forever. Losing Harry is just like losing one of my best friends. My relation with Harry Potter began when I was in standard 6 (2001). Ever since , had a diary where I wasted all potter pictures and all scribbles related to potter I could lay my hand upon. The diary still resides and it’s a pleasure to see all the crazy stuff pasted on it.

 Thank you J.K.Rowling for our childhood. Life beyond Harry Potter …  and Hogwarts is really boring. Sure Harry Potter will continue to live on, we will pass it through generations after genarations.
