i know him inside and out. his tiny secrets to his tremendous achievements. his friends and family - i can recite their names one by one without batting an eyelash. i know what irks him, who he feels an utter disdain for, and who and what he fancies.
and he’s not even real. he lives in a magical world which i and so many others have entered.
it felt like i was with him when he effortlessly took the sorcerer’s stone from the mirror, and i was definitely cheering him on while he joined the tri-wizard tournament and fought dementors with his stag patronus. in all his adventures, misadventures, misdemeanors and even through detention, i was a silent witness. i felt his pain when his godfather died. i knew how he felt when he was in love with someone off-limits - his bestfriend’s sister. i admired his courage and bravery for standing up against you-know-who and setting out to look for the horcruxes and in the process, discovered the hallows.
his story worth of seven years of hogwarts kept me up at the wee hours, sometimes made me skip meals and temporarily made me a home-buddy until i get to the last page.
as a collector of the books, i’m happy to see that after more than a year of the last release, the paperback edition is finally available. weee! time to go to harry potter’s land to revisit the tale (i never get tired of reading again and again) of the boy who lived.
