I just read the Harry Potter book series for the second time. The first time around, I enjoyed it for pure entertainment. Second time around, important life qualities stood out:
Read and study hard - the importance of a good education, as demonstrated by Hermione, who rescued Harry and Ronald Weasley on many occasions with her book smarts.
Honor and remain true to your values.
Establish bonds of true friendship that offer unconditional love and support.
The importance of building a good support system for when life throws you curveballs.
Strength and wisdom to resist temptation from bad influences.
Standing up to your enemies and sometimes even your own friends when you know they are making a bad choice or putting themselves in danger.
Courage.
Humbleness.
All this in the story of a young boy whose heart was filled with a love so strong it doomed the strongest ever dark wizard who sought only power and the desire to live forever.
Not bad for a book series about wizards!
