Harry Potter makes me sad
By Wolverine 57 Comments
So about an hour ago I decided to throw Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix into my BD player since I haven't seen the movie since it's release and once Harry got to Hogwarts all I felt was sadness. I grew up with Harry Potter. I remember being in third grade and sitting on this large carpet with the rest of my classmates while my teacher read the first book to me and I was first exposed to Harry Potter and his spectacular imaginary world. We then went on a class trip to a local movie theater to see the movie and everything looked exactly how I envisioned everything in my head. Reading the books and watching the movies brought me to this magical place.
I wanted to be friends with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I wanted to go to there magical school. I clearly remember having a crush on Hermione when I was 8 which is pretty funny because I still have a crush on her now. We are pretty similar in age. When I think of Christmas I automatically think of Harry and Ron sitting in the dinning room playing chess in the sweaters that Ron's mom made him or the scene when Harry is outside around the Hogwarts campus with Hedwig while it is snowing.
Anyway I feel like as I get older Harry Potter's gang is getting older and overall it depresses me. I miss getting lost in Harry's world when I was young. I couldn't finish watching Phoenix. As I attempted to watch it I felt disconnected to the world I used to feel so connected to, this could be because I have a lot of on my mind and I certainly hope that is the case.
Potter's universe will never have the same effect it had on me as a young child. The doors that lead to Hogwarts have been locked.
