Never Judge Someone Until You Meet Them

Giphy

Harry spent the whole book thinking that Sirius Black was out to get him, until he met him and found out he wasn't bad. Page: 317 ¨Yes I have', said Harry brightly. 'He was my mum and dads best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though...keep up with my news...check i'm happy…¨

You Can Choose Your Own Path/Future

Giphy

Early in the book professor Trelawney told Harry he had a very dark future incoming and that he would die soon, but he didn't. This shows that you don't have to listen to what people say, you can choose your own path. Page: 83 ¨My Dear boy, it is an omen - the worst omen - of death!¨

Courage Can Sometimes Outweigh Skills Or Smarts

Harry shows that his lack of technical skills in magic don't weigh him down because of his surplus of courage and bravery that always seem to help him succeed. Page: 27 ¨They didn't die in a car crash!¨ He was standing up for himself.

True Friends Are Always There For You

Harry's friends are always there for him when they need him, for example Ron was prepared to give his life to protect Harry from Sirius Black when they thought he wanted to kill him. Page:249 ¨Ron, However, spoke to Black, ´If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us, too´¨

An Illness Does Not Define You

Giphy

Professor Lupin was secretly a werewolf but that didn't change who he was and how good of a person he was. Page: 267 ¨I have not been helping Sirius get into the castle and I certainly don't want Harry dead. But I won't deny that i'm a werewolf¨.

There Are Flaws In The Justice System

Sirius Black was accused and convicted of crimes he did not commit which shows that not everyone convicted actually did what people say they did. Page: 59 Why would I go looking for someone I know wants to kill me?¨

Always Try Your Best To Succeed With Your Circumstances

Harry Potter is constantly thrown into circumstances beyond his control but always seems to make it through them because of his courage. Page: 60 ¨I don't go looking for trouble, said Harry, nettled, trouble usually finds me¨

In Dark Times Try And Find The LIght

Dumbledore helps Harry through his dark time by telling him to try and find his light to find his way out. Page: ¨Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light¨.

Lost Loved Ones Will Always Be With You

When Harry says he sees his dad and dumbledore tells him that loved ones will always be there in your heart to help you in hard times. Page: 297 ¨ I think it was my dad¨

Trust Your Teachers

Professor Lupin and Dumbledore assist Harry throughout the book, Lupin helps harry learn the patronus charm and Dumbledore tells him how to save Sirius Black. Page: 141 ¨ Well alright. Ill try and help¨

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.

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.

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.
