essay on my favourite book Harry Potter
Answers
Answer:
The Harry Potter books are very successful upon their being published. The Harry Potter books describe us as muggles, non magical people who live our lives not knowing the existence of wizards. The books allow us to envision a magical world that we are unable to see. Wizards are usually tolerant and good toward muggles. The book thins the line between real life and fantasy. People love an unlikely hero who isn’t supposed to succeed and one who is an underdog in life. Harry Potter with a scar on his forehead, usually broken glasses, his small skinny frame and lateness about learning the wizard world, is that underdog hero that everyone covets to see. He succeeds in his endeavors because he is enthusiastic, he has a significant amount of courage, and the best friends anyone person could hope to have. He is one of the most courageous characters you will ever read about in a fantasy novel.
It’s stunning how much more he cares about other people than he does himself. He and his friends would die for each other which is the trademark of a friendship that can go no higher. The book contains all the elements of adventure stories, coming of age, monsters, magic, sports, and miracles. It’s like a snickers bar. Everyone loves chocolate, caramel, peanuts and nougat. Put them all together and you have one tasty concoction. There is also, for the first time, a magical town introduced called Hogsmade. According to the book, it’s the only all-magical town in Britain. Starting in the third year, the students are allowed to travel there, which is only a few miles away, on scheduled visits.
CHARACTERS:
Ron Weasley is the best friend of Harry Potter. His self esteem is as erratic as the stock market. Unlike Harry, he has no financial means. His father is a member of the Ministry of Magic and his family is backed by generations of pure blooded wizards, but Ron is often picked on by Malfoy for wearing tattered robes, for living in an old house, and for not having a rich father. Ron is deeply loyal to the people he loves as is evident in this book when he simply refuses to speak to Hermione for turning Harry’s new broomstick into Professor McGonagall. He and Harry are inseparable. Ron tends to be perceived as a sidekick to Harry, which is not true at all. Ron feels valued by Harry and doesn’t seem to mind this that much, but sometimes he seems to feel pushed to the side. He is adventurous and sometimes mischievous but usually with good intentions.

MY FAVOURITE BOOK – HARRY POTTER
It’s difficult to imagine my life without reading. I like reading different kinds of books: adventure stories, historical novels, science fiction and detectives.
One of my favourite books is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. It is a story about Harry Potter, an orphan brought up by his aunt and uncle because his parents were killed when he was a baby. Harry is unloved by his uncle and aunt but everything changes when he is invited to join Hogwarts, a school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At Hogwarts Harry makes friends with Ron and Hermione. Their adventures begin when they attempt to solve the mystery of the Philosopher’s Stone. Frankly speaking, from the very beginning until the end the book kept me on the edge of my seat! There is never a dull moment, whether it’s battling with trolls, a three-headed dog, football played on broomsticks or Harry facing Lord Voldermort.
Taking everything into account, I would definitely recommend this book because it keeps you reading without ever wanting to put the book down. You come to love the characters and want to read more. In fact, this book helped me understand that reading is wonderful!
