The
enchanting world of Harry Potter has captivated audiences worldwide, instilling
lifelong love for magic and adventure. From the iconic Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry to the camaraderie shared by Harry, Ron, and Hermione,
the series has left an indelible mark on readers and viewers alike. On Harry
Potter Day, it’s time to delve back into the magic and celebrate the
enduring legacy of the Boy Who Lived.
History:
The series of Harry Potter books written by
JK Rowling dates back to 1998, and the films made on those books started in
2001. However, a decade after the films were done, Harry Potter Day came to be
established. The then President of the United Kingdom David Cameron announced
that every year May 2 will be observed as Harry Potter Day to remind people of
Harry's resilience and courage. It was commonly mistaken that the date falls on
Harry Potter's birthday. However, a true Potterhead knows the real reason – on
May 2, the great Battle of Hogwarts was fought and Lord Voldemort – Harry
Potter's nemesis – was defeated.
Significance:
Harry Potter, since childhood, has made us dream of
a world that is ruled by magic, love, friendship and fun. On this day, dust the
Harry Potter books and the DVDs from the shelves and gather your friends
together. Wear your Harry Potter-themed pajamas and have a rerun of the films,
because no matter what, we can never get enough of Harry Potter and the world
of magic.
