First,
you get transported to a magical world and experience a magical life.
I highly respect J.K. Rowling, the author of the famous Harry Potter
books, for having created an exclusively magical world of wizarding
folks. The world she has created is actually not very different from
the Muggle world, the world of the normal and non-magic folk – our
world; however, she made it more fascinating, interesting, and
exciting. Some of the undeniably awesome things she's created in
the Harry Potter universe are: the ever-famous wizarding sport of
Quidditch that is played on broomsticks; the out-of-this-Muggle-world
subjects and lessons in the ancient school of Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry; the only all-wizarding village of Hogsmeade
in Britain, the infamous diagonally-aligned shops in Diagon Alley;
and the desirable possessions
of wizarding folks such as cauldrons for potion-making, quills and
parchment for their writing, owls for mail delivery, broomsticks for
travel and/or sport, and most importantly, wands for spells,
enchantments, and the like, for which is the most important gear a
wizard or witch should have; and many other things you will love in
the magical world of Harry Potter. For these reasons and more, I can
say that the Harry Potter books, aided with movies, will actually
make you develop your creativity and broaden your imagination.
Second,
you get to expand your vocabulary and get to love books and reading.
With J.K. Rowling's wide knowledge and brilliant use of words in her
famous novels, you get to add up more words in your vocabulary.
Although, you may not remember every meaning of every word you've
looked up, at least you will not be ignorant of the existence of
these words. Also, with its friendly language and comprehensible
thoughts, you will not fear to read all seven books even if it gets
thicker every time. Furthermore, with the undying enthusiasm for
reading, which has been awakened by the wonderful Harry Potter
experience, you get to develop your love for books and reading that
which quenches your thirst for knowledge and/or entertainment.
Lastly,
you get to meet new acquaintances and gain new friends who are and/or
who will become Harry Potter fans, too. When you're a fan, you
cannot easily contain yourself from expressing your fandom, love, and
enthusiasm for the series; so, you tend to talk about these things to
your friends (some, much to their annoyance), but you get to
influence them to read the books and experience the experiences
you've had as you've read the books. If you successfully do this,
congratulations! You have just contributed goodness to this world by
gathering up people who could admire a very good piece of literature.
Also, you meet people who are also co-fans and you may luckily gain
them as your friends to whom you could easily relate with on your
Harry Potter madness. For either or both of these, you can always
develop bonds, with your
former-ordinary-Muggle-friend-to-a-wizard-or-witch-wannabe or your
newfound friends, like no other.
For
these and more, I hope I've somehow convinced you, with just some of
the many perks you can get of being a Harry Potter fan, enough to
make you one of us now.
