The philosophy behind a Potterhead
The way I see it, Harry’s scar is engraved in all of us. The idea that it resembles a part of Voldemort’s soul holds particular note. This is because in writing about the small boy with emerald eyes, messy black hair and circular glasses, JK Rowling imprinted her morals into us.
She taught us how to love.
She taught us friendship.
She taught us to be ourselves.
She taught us home.
And (cliché, I know) she taught us what ‘always’ truly means.
This is why Potterheads make such fantastic friends, we know that through standing united, we are stronger than standing alone. We understand that in a depressing situation, Dumbledore’s famous quote and a discussion about the Potter world will relieve the weight off someone’s shoulders.
We know that no matter what happens, something good will come along if you just fight through it.
There’s a famous quote that states ‘It’ll all be okay in the end, if it’s not okay, it’s not the end’.
Somehow JK Rowling managed to make this quote relatable to millions of people all over the world. She created a world where race, sexuality and gender mean nothing, and only ‘purity’ matters.
Although in the books the ‘purity’ spoken of is blood purity, we can find from this that the purity of truth, of love and of friendship count more than the colour of our skin or who we fancy.
The point is, JK Rowling has united a previously prejudiced species through her words of wisdom. Jo, we will be forever thankful, you are our Queen; We are the Harry Potter Generation.
