For me, the Harry Potter series dosen't just create imteresting characters, it creates positive rolemodels. Hermine, for example, is a girl who is constaintly pursicued by others for her intelligence. She just ignors it and continues on with the way she is. Neville is a clumsy, forgetfull, un-extroidanary kid. But he is the one that kills Nigini and thus killing Voldemort. He shows that even average people can do over average things. Harry Potter also shows kids that being different is ok. The way pure-blood families hate muggles and "mudbloods" is very the similar to racism or the way kids who are overweight or look a certain way are purcecuted. We see that the pureblood families who hate mudbloods end up being hated by others and generly evil. So Harry Potter helps kids learn about diversity and gives them positive rolemodels. For me Harry Potter has helped me become, and to become, a healthy, friendly, and understanding young women.
