Harry Potter defines our generation. It is a series of magic, love, hope, bravery, and the triumph of good over evil. So much can be learned from Harry and his magical adventures. These are some of the best life lessons from the best literature of this century:
1. Love conquers all
The whole series revolves around how Lily Potter gave her life for Harry, and her protection and love keeps Harry alive... Something Voldemort does not have in him.
2. Friends can get you through anything
Scared, Sad, Angry, Happy, Nervous...true friends will always be there for you.
3. Love is scary, heartbreak is sad, but true love is forever
Professor Snape spent his life protecting the child of the woman he loved. He lived his whole life in sorrow and heartbreak, but never gave up on the one he loved.
4. Death shouldn't be scary
"After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.” –The Sorcerer's Stone
5. Family will always be there
Your family will always be with you... In the good times and the bad.
6. People will surprise you
Not everyone turns out to be who you think they are. Some may betray you, some may love you, and some may spend their whole life dedicated to helping you.
7. A life without love is not a good life
"Do not pity the dead. Pity the living. And above all, pity those without love." - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Love can help you get through anything
8. There is magic in all of us
You may not have a wand or go to Hogwarts, but there is a light in all human beings, a little piece of magic within us all.
Find your love, your bravery, your loyalty, and your magic...
