6 Reasons Why The 'Harry Potter' Series Will Never Die
Warner Bros.

"Harry Potter" holds a huge place in many hearts. "Harry Potter" is so well known so chances are you have seen or read some or all of the "Harry Potter" movies and books. If you have not, then I would do so ASAP because you haven't fully lived yet.

The "Harry Potter" series is one of the few series that actually had pretty accurate movies as well. This was very much appreciated and did not go unnoticed. J.K. Rowling helped with the movies to make sure her vision was being brought to life correctly.

Although the series has already been written and finished, it will never be forgotten.

Here are some reasons why "Harry Potter" will never die:

1. Good reviews

I have yet to meet a person who has read the "Harry Potter" series and disliked it; "Harry Potter" is a global phenomenon. Just because the series may be over, does not mean the praise is. People will rave about "Harry Potter" for years and years to come.

2. It's timeless

As the universe gets older, "Harry Potter" will never get old. The idea of magic, witches and wizards will forever be intriguing. The world that J.K. Rowling created is easy to picture (even without the movies) and it is for the most part likable (you know, when Voldemort isn't yelling out the Avada Kadavra spell).

3. Our generation grew up with it

If you are in your early adulthood or late teens, you probably remember when "Harry Potter" was coming out. You probably remember how much you wished you were Harry, or how much you wished you were old enough to go to the movie premiere. It is a part of our childhood. Even if you aren't a fan you have heard of it and most likely remember the hype it got and deserves. We also grew up with the actors who played the characters.

4. ABC Family (Freeform now????)

ABC Family (now called freeform but let's be honest who calls it that ) runs "Harry Potter" marathons quite regularly. These weekends and days are the best days of a "Harry Potter" fan's life. "Harry Potter" is one of those series that you can watch over and over again and not get tired of it. Also, they are the creators of the hashtag #HarryPotterForever.

5. Harry Potter World has got our backs

Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida has an amazing Harry Potter park that keeps getting better with time. The visuals are stunning in this park and the rides are so fun. There is no way one would be able to forget this part of Universal Studios.

6. THE INTERNET

The internet will forever have endless Harry Potter websites, merchandise and memes. You can even stream the books and movies from online (legally guys). Also, the cast and J.K. Rowling on Twitter always have interesting things to say about the cast and always stay true to their Harry Potter roots.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
