Harry Potter has always been one of my favorite books and it got me thinking about the reasons why I started reading it in the first place. These are just some of the few reasons why I enjoyed the books and why you should read them too!   ❾¾

1. Teaches you about friendship

Through thick and thin, Harry, Ron, and Hermione remained best friends; as some readers call them the “golden trio”. That is one of my favorite things about Harry Potter. It teaches readers that, no matter how bad things get, they always put friendship first.

2. Great Role Models

Harry shows courage, Ron shows loyalty, Hermione shows intelligence, Dumbledore shows wisdom and the list goes on. All of these are qualities a person should strive to display. The characters in these books all have some traits about them that makes them a great role model. Harry Potter readers will learn to appreciate the characters based on the ethical virtues they represent.

3. Teaches you about courage

One of the main themes of Harry Potter is to remain courageous no matter what. That is one of the biggest reasons why Harry Potter is a must read! It will inspire you to stand up for what is right, even in the face of hardship.

4. The writing style of the books

The way J.K. Rowling wrote these books is just amazing. She has a way to capture your attention and keep you hooked. For me personally, there wasn’t a time I didn’t have the book in my hand. For the first time, I actually understood what people meant by saying, “this book is glued to my hands!”

5. Lets your imagination run wild!

With spells, creatures, funny names, moving staircases and everything magical, it is easy to let your imagination run wild when reading the Harry Potter books. Even if you have already seen the movies, you can imagine the characters and settings the way you want to.

What are you waiting for?? Go read them all!! In the meantime, I’ll start reading them for the second time.
