Thoughts on the era of HP

I have so many thoughts on Harry Potter that I don't even know how to begin expressing it.

This is an end of an era, and it is really weird that no one around me feels the same way. No one who has obsessed over the books, complained about the movies and celebrated the entire world of Harry Potter. My experience of Harry Potter has been largely online, watching people as they identify with certain houses or certain characters. watching as they meta and add dimension to these beloved characters. watching as Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy become fan favourites.

I want to talk about how Gryffindor and Slytherin are not dichotomous, how Slytherin simply represent the presence of ambition, just as Ravenclaw represents intelligence. I wish that people around me were into deeper discussion of each character, rather than knowing Dumbledore died, or that Sirius Black was Harry's godfather. Or worse, not knowing that at all.

Harry Potter is not the most well-written series of all time, but the world that J.K Rowling has created is seriously amazing. The vocabulary that has entered in our daily life because of Harry Potter is also worthy of mention. How can I remain unaffected by something that has changed our lives for the past 14 years?

It has been fun. But no worries, this is not the end yet, because we can always go back.
