Since I was a little girl my father has read me the infamous Harry Potter books.
They were very much a part of my coming of age and I still get lost in them
even at 20 years old.
I believe that the stories are genius.
Every aspect of the plot is intertwined together with
ancient language references or twists that would blow your mind.
I am distraught to think about all the people out there who label
Harry Potter as "evil" without even breaking the bindings to
witness the intelligence and moral ideals that are placed within these books.
I write on this subject because the final movie comes out tomorrow
If you are a fan... or even a skeptic you should read this article to the end
it presents ideals that I support that do not even have
to ultimately deal with the book.
One of my favorite quotes is:
“But listen: we’re free to enjoy the good and the beautiful, even from the most unlikely places. We’re free—and this is huge—to look for the light in people (and things!), to give them the benefit of the doubt, to laud their beauty, to outlove unloveliness–in short, to love as Christ loves us.”
I read the article. It's excellent. I talked about it with a girl from work too.
ReplyDeleteIt was really funny at the Project because we were talking about Harry Potter with Jan and how her mom would judge her for watching it, and then Pete, Chelsea, Marissa, and I all basically said, "Well, I read this article that Abby posted on her blog." All of this goes to say that we miss you and your blog is extremely popular.
