Sorry For Talking About Harry Potter
Against my better judgement, I'm adding to the multitude of posts already up about Harry Potter . I know there's going to be a lot of posts out there about Harry Potter , and I honestly did try to find another story to write about. But there was really nothing else. You see, I didn't really engage with the classic hero narrative when I was younger. It might seem odd, because all I did was read in elementary school. (Seriously. I would read ten books at a time. I've been through a ridiculous amount of some of the lengthiest series of children's books.) I suppose I had run into hero narratives before Harry Potter , considering how much I read. They were much more subtle narratives, and I never really looked up to any of the characters I found in them, but they were there. But despite the excessive amount of literature I went through, I never touched the "classic" heroes. I expressed zero interest in Lord of the Rings , I avoided seeing Star Wars for 16 y
