Harry Potter and the Wisdom it brought us

"Always," said Snape.

Certainly, out of every 10 people, when Harry Potter is mentioned, 8 turn their heads and talk about their House pride. The other 2, meanwhile, are Muggles. Now that The Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts are out, I've dedicated my time to re-read the series again to find a new love for the boy who lived; beneath the world of wand flickering and flying in brooms, lies one of the most imaginative stories ever written, with characters whose strong traits grow into us and teach us about everything from standing up for our beliefs, how to be brave when the world is at a landslide, and even how to cope with the loss of our loved ones.

Here are a few of those:

“Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both influencing injury, and remedying it.” –The Deathly Hallows

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." - The Sorcerer's Stone

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” –The Goblet of Fire

"We are all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.” – Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows


"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?" - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

"Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect." - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light." - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have.” – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
