This is the second time I have read the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling. The first time I read the books, I actually got halfway through The Goblet of Fire, then sadly, got a little bit bored and stopped reading them. So this year I started up the Harry Potter books again, and right now I'm on the 3rd book, The Prisoner of Azkaban. It's really great to reattach my connection and love with the pages inside J.K. Rowling's imagination.
I feel like Harry Potter and I really don't have much in common. One of the things we have in common is that our parents really love each other, and in his case, loved. It's really sad that his parents died so early in his life, and I hope a tragedy like that never happens to me. But one thing that's different is that my current gaurdians (my parents) love me unlike the Dursleys. I didn't defeat a horrible villain like him, and I don't have a blazing red scar on my forehead. I'm glad for my life, compared to Harry's. Harry's life really seems to be so horrible and sad. The thing is, what he looks forward to every day is going to a school that can put him in terrible danger. I find that to be a reason why Harry's life is so bad. He lives with a fat, mean, and ugly uncle, with his son Dudley, following in his footsteps. Also an aunt who will never mention anything related to the thing in the world that makes Harry enjoy life. Magic. Thats another thing that we definatley do not have in common. I have no magic in me at all, except for sometimes REALLY good luck that can be magical at times. But all in all Harry is a true wizard, and I am not. Harry has an incredible amount of bravery, I can barely jump a long distance from table to table without hesitating about 15 times. Harry can fight Voldemort without a bit of hesitation. But I guess I don't really know for sure what Harry Potter feels when he faces "He Who Must Not Be Named".
Someone who I feel I actually have a connection with is Ron Weasley. Apart from the magic routes running through his family, I think we are alike in some ways, unlike Harry and me. Probably if one was to see me face on, they would notice something obvious. We both have red, blazing hair. Or as some people call it, we are both gingers (another word for red-headed person). Another thing that I notice is that we both have is a great big, connected loving family to back us up. Ron's family is a little bigger, but I feel a kind of cozy feeling with my family which is the same feeling I feel with the Weasley family whenever I am reading about them in the books.
Harry Potter and his world I can't really connect to because he lives in a another whole world of magic, wizards, and witches.
