Harry rules


26 June 1997 was a divine day for a lot of children all over the world, it was the day that history might not remember but a day history was made. It was the day the first book of the series of Harry potter was released ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ or as we Indians call it ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone’ .
Ever since the juvenile readers of the globe discovered this book, it has been a craze. There is barely anyone who hasn’t heard about it..Ahhh.. well at least in the cities, and urban areas. It is an eminent reality that each legendry vogue has had to face revolts, Harry potter was no immunity.

A few alleged that the book has many continuations because
JK Rowling is not content with her riches, but remains greedy for every last possible additional penny.’
Various understood that it advocates witchcraft, some believed that young minds may get affected and leave the safety of their homes in search of the magical world.
There has been no dearth of critics who detest the Harry Potter books for the reason that they are (supposedly) feebly and ineffectively written and because (it appears to them) they teach an ‘unbiblical spirituality’ (whatever that means).


By blaming your child’s immature actions and his misunderstandings on a book you don’t become excellent parents. It is you who has to help your kid learn to differentiate between right and wrong and fantasy and reality.
For all the people hoisting mutinies against the books all I have to say is that by opposing the ocean you won’t end it.



Six out and one more to go, the Harry potter series might end on the 17th of July 2007(speculated as the release date of the last book of the string) but its legacy and charm is going to allure readers till posterity.
If you haven’t checked out the books thinking that they are for children, think again, as your prejudice might cost you a good book, and a good experience/time.
I adore the books and not for the component of magic but the element of humanity.
Cheers to Harry!!!!
