Aug 8, 2020 · The Harry Potter books and movies have something for everyone: There are best buds, romantic interests, and battles of good versus evil. There are intriguing creatures, threatening villains and the coolest classes in the world. There is also a hero, an exciting sport and a whole bunch of magic.
- Finding Strength in Weakness. Meet Neville Longbottom, a timid and seemingly forgetful young wizard at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
- Sacrifice and Love. Enter Lily Potter, the embodiment of a loving and devoted mother. Her heart is a tapestry of love woven with threads of compassion and selflessness.
- Acceptance and Tolerance. Everybody loves Hagrid, the half-giant with a heart as big as his stature. Despite being a unique and unconventional individual, he embodies acceptance and tolerance in all aspects of his life.
- Choices and Consequences. My favourite character in the series is Severus Snape (Alan Rickman’s brilliance in the movies goes a long way to reinforce this, RIP), a complex and enigmatic character whose choices hold profound consequences for both the wizarding world and himself.
- We can’t change our past, but we can change our future. Despite the inconsistencies that Hermione’s time turner created for the novel’s plot (because why save only Buckbeak when they could save Lily and James Potter too, am I right?)
- Sometimes we have to face our fears to get what we want. As much as we’d all like to stay in the comfort of our bubble, sometimes life requires us to pop it for our own good.
- Money can’t buy happiness. You know what people say – money isn’t everything. And it’s not, but it’s hard when you’re a young kid unlocking a vault full of galleons to not think it is.
- We are never truly alone. All of us are subject to the feeling of loneliness, but are we ever truly alone? While seemingly on his own most of the time, Harry Potter always had the support of his friends and guardians, showing us that there’s no such thing as ever being truly alone.

Whether you fancy yourself a Gryffindor or a Slytherin, a human or a house elf, these 15 lessons from Harry Potter will have you pondering your approach to life.
- The Power of Friendship. “There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.”
- The Importance of Choices. “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
- Coping with Loss and Grief. “You’ll stay with me?’ ‘ Until the very end,’ said James.” – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In-Depth Explanation: Death and loss are central to the plot; what’s important, though, is how the characters learn to deal with grief.
- The Courage to Stand Up to Friends. “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” – Dumbledore.
