Harry Potter's Perpetual Impact on Muggles

I don't even have to initiate an explanation of the phenomenon that is Harry Potter. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, all the way to the finale': Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; the aptly named genious J.K. Rowling has kept us mystified for years.



Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (SS) was introduced when I was in High School. It seemed the dorkiest of the dorky were the few with their noses burried in the binding. I deemed it as something silly and didn't want a part of it. It progressed to mainstream "Popular culture" status and I still didn't want a part of it. Even now, I look for ways of only using Paris Hilton's iconic personallege for SEO. That way, maybe SOMEHOW...I might get a better ranking and a larger reader base. Has it worked yet?

When I first saw the preview for SS at some other peckless movie, I immediately fell in love with the suspense, dark heebe-jeebies, and overall the majestic cinematography. I didn't start reading the books until after I had watched the 2nd (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets [CoS]), I conformed and read Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban (PoA). A heroing tale, daunting to say the least. I was amazed by how involved I became!

With each title, the charismatic world enveloped me into the magically non-Muggle world. Every plot twist, and the development of each character enchanted me.

With the quarter-life crisis of trying to identify who I am, I've tried to (excuse the cliche' or banality) "read between the lines." Most of which has been to identify the caracteristics of the characters - Who they are, what they did, how they react, etc. I've been amazed at the depth each character (main, and even peripheral), and what virtues they embrace.

My goal in the next couple weeks is to identify what each character has to teach us about the Muggle world.
