10 Reasons Why I Will Always Love Harry Potter
weheartit

In honor of The Cursed Child coming out in stores this past weekend (and finishing it in 3 days), I've decided to share my top 10 reasons as to why I am utterly obsessed with the Harry Potter series and why you should jump on the bandwagon with me. Also, be cautious for spoilers! My bad.

1. Inspiring story of love and friendship

I'm not the only one who knows how amazing and true the Golden Trio is. The phrase "love knows no bounds" is proven again and again by Harry, Ron and Hermione no matter how large the struggle (they took down the dark lord!). Not to mention the fact that Harry is alive because of his mother's love. In my opinion, there is honestly no greater love story.

2. Half decent movie adaptions.


I usually don't like watching the movie version of a book after I read it, mostly because they're usually way off the mark, but the HP movies are almost spot on (looking at you, Teddy Lupin). The actors/actresses put such hard work and effort into making pretty decent movies that we all love to binge watch on ABC Family every few weekends, or buy at Target for $5.

3. Quotes

I think everyone has used a HP quote for their selfie whether they knew it or not. Although Dumbledore kind of really sucked, he sure did have a way with words.

4. The main character doesn't get the girl

Harry Potter is one of the only male characters I know of that didn't get his female co-star in the end. Hermione and Ron are perfect for each other, as well as Harry and Ginny.

5. The humor

Fred and George Weasley were some of the funniest characters I've ever read. With practical jokes to witty sayings, these twins brought light into every dark situation. The witty, smart-assy comments made throughout the series will keep you laughing (and crying) until you finish.

6. Minor characters are just as important


Neville Longbottom, a boy we don't have much focus on, kills Nagini and ultimately helps save Wizardkind. Dobby, a mere house elf, dies protecting his Harry Potter, Hermione and Ron. Cedric Diggory, the spare, is partially the reason behind the DA. Need I say more?

7. Bravery

We learn from all of the characters that everyone is brave in their own way. Professor McGonagall summoned troops to save Hogwarts, Snape watched over Harry for 17 years for Lily, Neville killed Voldemort's snake. The whole theme of Harry Potter is to be brave.

8. We are reminded of how important our education is

As exam times roll around, it's important to channel your inner Hermione Granger and head to the library. Your bio final might not be as exciting as the O.W.L.S, but it's more important (and real).


9. Importance of family

Growing up an orphan, Harry didn't have a real family until he met the Weasleys. With Molly's unconditional love, Arthur's interest in all things Muggle related, plus their 7 children, Harry learns what it's like to be loved and to love back. Sirius Black, Harry's Godfather, also teaches Harry that "those who love us, never truly leave us."

10. Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home

Always.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
