*rant in progress*

it’s more than just a series, isn’t it? i mean it’s really so much more than just words on a page.

there’s a reason we keep coming back to these stories. there’s a reason we produce art inspired by these stories. there’s a reason we love these characters so fiercely – why we laugh with them, cry for them, get angry alongside them, love them with an intensity others just don’t understand.

they’re real for us. this whole thing is real for us.

i’m so sick and tired of people asking me why i like harry potter. it’s gotten to the point where i don’t even answer them. you know why? because i shouldn’t have to justify my likes and dislikes for people who choose ignorance.

so to the people who don’t understand how adults can admire and love the “harry potter” series just as much as children and adolescents do, i pose you this question: when you’re in need of happiness, in search of creativity, in need of hope in times of darkness or uncertainty, what do you turn too?

it could be a singer. it could be a book. it could be a film.

i have no shame in saying that i’m an adult who loves this series with everything i am and everything i hope to be.

to those who understand, i’m glad we’re all together.

to those who don’t and choose to tear us down, just remember that when you’re in need of hope, happiness, love and other things, you’ve turned to art, too.
