I love it because it explains human nature in a beautiful way. So much of the world seems obvious to you when you read the books, and they explain things you may have never thought about or never noticed in a unique way.

It allows my imagination to run wild, and gives me a solid foundation for stories I make on my own

The first movie blew my mind, and then when I discovered that there were books it was based on, I just got sucked in.

It has always seemed like a getaway from the real world and a fun way to connect with friends and family.

Oh, where do I even start? It's like asking why do we love chocolate frogs - because they're awesome, obviously!
Firstly, who doesn't want to live in a world where you can wave a wand and make things happen? I mean, muggle chores would be so much more bearable. "Accio remote!" and bam, no more lost TV remotes.
Then, there's the whole Hogwarts experience. Who wouldn't want to attend a school where you get to learn Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and fly on broomsticks? Way cooler than algebra, right? Plus, you get to live in a castle with secret passages and moving staircases. Hogwarts is like the ultimate fun house, only it's real (well, in our hearts, at least).
Let's not forget about the friendships and camaraderie. Harry, Hermione, and Ron showed us the true meaning of friendship. They stuck together through thick and thin, fought off giant spiders (no thank you), and even faced Voldemort. That's friendship goals right there!
And, of course, the magic of the stories themselves. J.K. Rowling created a world so rich and detailed that it feels real. It's an escape from the everyday into a world full of wonder, adventure, and, most importantly, magic.
So, in a nutshell, the wizarding world is like a warm butterbeer on a cold day - comforting, magical, and something you just can't get enough of!
Keep casting spells and believing in magic,

heart Hope!

Such beautiful hope in this world and the books are just so incredible no matter how many times you read them. Little things in the first book that come full circle in the last book - AH-MAZ-ING!!!!

It makes me nostalgic about my childhood (even though I'm not that old). They were the first movies I ever watched. I love the excitement and hopeful possibilities that exist within the world that I can live vicariously through.

Default Rowling Gives Us A Complete Package

Rowling's development and handling of Harry Potter and his world is what I usually refer to as 'complete.'

That is, we know what we need to know from the beginning to the end.

Scenes, characters, events, background... all is brought together in such a way as to leave us feeling we're touching a bit of 'reality' - or something able to be reality in another reality than our own.

Not all authors manage that. Many build nice 'story'... but it doesn't quite rise to the level of almost-believability.

Had she wanted to (and I wish she had) she could have contionued the life of Harry Potter through indefinitely, until she finally put him in his grave (or whatever end she may have wanted him to ultimately move on to) and we would still be there moving right along with her/him.

Few book series have struck me in the same way as Rowlings. They are counable on less than the fingers of my two hands. In fact, nearly on just one.

The cozy yet adventurous feel of the series cannot be replicated.

I love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter because there’s so many opportunities. Since so little is actually confirmed about magical theory and academic subjects, almost anything could be possible!

I could sit here and write a dissertation on the many advantages of the wizarding world but allow me to cut to the chase and write what we're all thinking. One word. Reparo.

Alright fine it could just be my inner borderline OCD organization-obsessed neat-freak tendencies but how great is that spell? Whether it's Hermione fixing Harry's glasses every 5 minutes or Dumbledore's miraculous transformation of Slughorn's borrowed house, it makes the annual 'Spring cleaning' a more frequent and truly an effortless endeavour. A cleaner world *insert sparkles emoji*

Also apparition and the invisibility cloak. And Molly Weasley.

I have always been in to fantasy and Sci-Fi, The usual suspects such as Star Wars Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter was a magical story that had everything that you would find in a world created with such detail and passion. I was instantly hooked.

I like the Potter universe because it's just crazy enough to be believable. You know it's not true, but it it was, it would probably be like it's described in the books.

Oh, and I also feel a lot of gratitude at how it brought loads of kids to books. I don't know of any other series that had 10-year-olds grab a 1000-page tome with actual pleasure and anticipation!

I love how interesting the story can be when analyzed on a deeper level.
