Harry Potter Mania
My younger brother Nitin, a thirteen years old is crazy about Harry Potter. Sometime I thought that he was just bananas. It puzzled me and irritated as well. I had never read Harry Potter. More hooked I was to Spiderman, Madonna and Aishwarya.
When the news broke out that the latest Harry Potter would be on sale the coming Saturday, my brother Nitin went a gag over it. Only thing he talked about was Harry Potter and his wonderful magic. My Mother rolled her eyes up. Our father buried his head deeper into his newspaper: I made faces at Nitin. He just ignored our reactions. On the day of the Harry Potter sale Nitin forced our mother to go with him to buy the book or he wouldn’t eat food.
The Harry Potter mania of the youngsters puzzled me. Out of curiosity I grabbed the first Harry Potter book from my brother’s bookshelf and sat down to read. It was written by some lady J.K. Rowling. Only into a couple of pages and I began to feel the magic heat of the story of Harry Potter. From a bizarre beginning the story led through fairy tale train journey to a mysterious school of magicians. The incidents at the school were magically awe-inspiring. The story had all the elements a young mind gets excited about, namely, the magic, superhuman powers, mystery, adventure, fairy tale characters and above all, a kid hero. No wonder, the kids madly love it.
