Harry Potter is the ultimate comfort zone for anyone who dares to dream. Here you have a story about a boy who wasn’t cared about by his relatives, not really having a place in the world, and finally taken to a place where not only does he belong but accepted and loved in a way that was far greater than he ever would imagine. He’s living in a place where people moves in photos, where chocolate frogs hop, where staircases switch and where you can have animals like owls, dragons, kneazles, and hippogriffs as pets. There are also many types of people and situations anyone could relate to, there’s people trying to find acceptance, people adapting to new environments, proof that your family doesn’t have to be just the people whom you were born from, that even at the darkest hour in life, hope can be found, even if everything seems like it’s gone, and not to mention that love knows no gender, class, social status, or different worlds. It’s a childhood comfort and escapism from life’s hardships and stresses. You can temporarily leave the muggle world for a world where goblins are your bankers, Quidditch is more popular than football (or soccer), and you can have a butterbeer with your favorite characters.
