How Did She Get into Harry Potter? A Personal Journey
Harry Potter, the beloved wizard from the magical world of J.K. Rowling, has captured the hearts of many readers. From the first read to the last, the series offers a realm of wonder, adventure, and growth. This article explores how one individual, named 'She', stumbled upon themagic of Harry Potter and became an ardent fan.
Discovering Harry Potter at a Young Age
She was thirteen, a period marked by uncertainty and solitude. During a particularly lonely class, She watched her peers laughing and enjoying their break, feeling an outsider in her own environment. It was during these moments of isolation that She found solace in the Class Library, a section where everyone in her class brought in books to share.
Amongst the sea of diverse books, a particular one caught her eye. It was an unusually thick, red-covered book titled Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Intrigued, She picked it up, and as fate would have it, it was at this moment that She was introduced to the world of Hogwarts, a place where magic thrived beyond reality.
A 9-Day Odyssey
The weight of the book intrigued Her. With 800 pages, it was a daunting challenge, but She was captivated. Over the next nine days, She read without pause, engrossed in the story of a young boy growing up under extraordinary circumstances. She finished the book in record time, savoring the story to the end. The experience was so profound that Her teacher even noted She had eaten lunch two hours late on the final day in her zeal to complete the book.
The Girl Who-Owned-It, A Best Friend For Life
Upon finishing the book, She discovered that the original owner of the book, a classmate named Aria, had given it to her to keep forever. This gift deepened their friendship and marked a turning point in She's life. Aria and She remain best friends to this day, sharing stories and adventures from the magical world that they've both grown to love.
The Importance of Reading the Series in Order
Looking back, She now understands that she made a significant error in reading the fifth book without first reading the first four. It was from these books that She got a fuller understanding of the enchanting world of Harry Potter. Despite this oversight, She is grateful for that experience and the discovery of a magical world that she continues to explore with joy and wonder.
"There it 's been seven months since that memorable day, and oh yeah, the girl who owned it gave it to me to keep forever which is why it looks older than the others."
Through her journey, She learned the value of patience and the joy of discovery. The world of Harry Potter not only brought her out of loneliness but also provided a framework to explore themes of friendship, bravery, and the triumph of good over evil.
For those curious about how to dive into the world of Harry Potter, She would encourage them to start at the beginning, pick up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and let the journey begin. This is an adventure that can be savored, discussed, and cherished forever.
