Good Life Lessons of Harry Potter
As many of you know, I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I know that there are people who believe that these books are "evil"and linked to "witch craft", but I think these books are great. The books are based upon the belief that GOOD will overcome EVIL. The Harry Potter Series are based on love, loyalty, empathy, acceptance, friendship and other truly good life lessons.
There is lots of love through out the series. Voldemort (the bad guy)/Professor Quirrel could not touch Harry because Harry's mother loved him so much that she died for him. Harry loves Ginny so much, that he breaks up with her...yes it was dumb, but Harry thought it would help save Ginny.
Loyalty plays another big role. Harry is loyal to his friends, and they are loyal to him. Lots of people are loyal to Dumbledore. Dobby is extremely loyal to Harry.
Harry is empathetic. He understands how Ron feels about not having enough money. He lets Wormtail live even though Wormtail essentially kills his parents.
Acceptance is another great lesson of this series. Dumbledore accepts "Mudbloods" into the school. He also accepts Snape as reformed. Harry accepts Neville and Luna as friends, even though the rest of the school are not huge fans.
Friendship plays a huge role. Harry's friends help him out all along the way. Could Harry have fought Voldemort without the help of his friends???
Other great lessons of the Harry Potter Series:
1) Do not always judge by what you see. Harry always thought Snape was bad, but as it turns out, he wasn't. He helped Harry out several time.
2) All knowledge is power. Luna is full of seemingly useless information, but it helps Harry out at times. Dumbledore gives Hermione a book of children's fairy tales, but there are clues within that book.
3) Do not underestimate anyone. Voldemort made this mistake, and we know what happened to him. Everyone also underestimated Neville. He turned out to be a decent wizard.
OK so the whole point of all of this is: Love with all of your heart, Stay true to your friends, Show sympathy when someone needs it, Accept people for who they are, Do not judge, Constantly Learn, and Do not underestimate even yourself.
