"You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working."It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." ( The Chamber of Secrets, p."It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends." ( The Sorcerer's Stone, p.".to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever." ( The Sorcerer's Stone, p.It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution." ( The Sorcerer's Stone, p. Read the following quotations from the Harry Potter books and discuss the truth that each reveals. So the magical world of Harry Potter, a world of flying cars and dragons, unicorns and magic potions, invisibility cloaks and evil powers, becomes real as readers discover truths about bravery, loyalty, choice, and the power of love. While the fun of fantasy might be its otherworldliness, its power lies is the truths it reveals about the real world.
And the changes continue as Harry spends year after year at Hogwarts, a place where he not only learns about being a wizard, but also about friendship and loyalty and fear and courage, and about his own past and future, his family, and his destiny. So Harry leaves the home of his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and their hateful son Dudley, who are mere muggles (humans without one drop of magic in them), and embarks on a new life. Harry learns that his parents did not die in a car crash but were killed by Voldemort, the Lord of Darkness, and that he's famous in the world of wizardry. That's when he starts receiving letters inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Wizards and Hogwarts! Muggles and mudbloods! Quidditch and broomsticks! None of those things mean anything to Harry Potter, a small, skinny, bespectacled boy with an unusual lightning-bolt shaped scar on his forehead - until his eleventh birthday.
