Magical World, Magical Cast

I've just had the sudden urge to talk about Harry Potter... and books in general...

Movies are nice to watch, but don't you think books are so much better? While the movies are graphic and all, and have sound effects, but when you read, the image is more vivid, clearer, and much much more wonderful.

Wonders of a book... They transport you to another world that you never knew that existed, they teach you life lessons on family, love, friends and death. They introduce you to the different creatures in this world which you've never known, be it good or bad, clever or simple, human or animal. 

Harry Potter--->

J.K. Rowling is a really wonderful writer. Her imagination is out of the world, and she transported me to the beautiful castle of Hogwarts, the noisy, cluttered streets of Diagon Alley, the deep, painful memories of Harry, Snape and Riddle, and the homey house of the Burrow.

Seven books. It's perfect. Simply wonderful for all ages. While people think it's ridiculous to have such a magical world, but isn't that what reading is suppose to be like? Something unreal? 

Riddle may be evil, but he wouldn't have been if not for how he was treated as a child. He was an orphan, viewed as a freak in the muggle world. You see, there are people like that who exist too. I don't hate Riddle. It's not his fault.

Snape is my favourite character in the series. Much as he is harsh and all, he is a loyal man who loved Lily till the very end. He hated James, and Harry too, but he protected him with his life. And he loved Lily. That's what matters most.

This story touches on so many things in life - hate, love, family, friendships, evil, and death. You can scream, smile or cry anytime. It's simply beautiful.

And the movie. It's not as good as the books, of course, but it's still good. Because of the cast. Ten years of acting together. It's simply remarkable. It's magical. Twilight and Hunger Games will never equal to this. Ask Robert Pattinson. He's been in the Harry Potter cast and he knows how it's like. He knows it. Imagine acting with someone since you were a child till you were an adult. The friendships fostered, the bonds created. It's unthinkable.

That's the reason why I love books. And not movies. Except for HP.
