Being part of Harry Potter growing up
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
I dare say that barely anyone living today in the western sphere has managed to escape detecting the school of Hogwarts and the magic universe of J.K. Rowling that is hiding under the name of Harry Potter. For me this has had a bit of a special meaning since I also live in areas where part of this made-up life is supposed to take place. Being able to wander around in London and even visiting the Platform 9 and 3/4 that unfortunately no longer exists where it should have been, there is a colossal undertaking going on in London where they are redoing and upgrading almost every tube and train station there is in this vast city.
Being fortuitous enough to live so close to central train stations I also have the rest of the kingdom at my disposal and it does not take long at all to go to the other locations quoted in the book or used in the film. The areas are indeed charismatic and delightful, somewhat amplified digitally for the big silver screen to bring more of the darkness and character of Harry Potter to the fans in that dark cinema. The book is frighteningly authentic in some areas and it is impressive given that the backdrop has in some places had almost ten years to transform.
Living and working in London has given me more wisdom into the way and life of the author and seeing what she was susceptible to makes more of the narrative come to life, rather than as most think; demystify it. Oddly enough most people that do not live in the UK still don't recognize certain foods that are being hinted in the books and I have heard gossip about parties where they download recepies from the internet and try to make these delectable meals and sometimes even re-enact some of the Harry Potter events around these meals.
As I revealed earlier, the platform 9 and 3/4 is no longer where it used to be, but since the books and films around Harry Potter has had such an immense impression on the so called actual life, the city decided to keep that part of the platform accessible and you may still be able to see the pillar where they rush into the sorcerous world where witchery, dark magic and general life is sparkling with witchcraft. It is highly recommended that you do take a foray to that place if you like Harry Potter and who knows, you may even gain incentive to crate the next extraordinary and epic saga that will bewitch the world for more than a decade.
While it is tragic that Harry Potter is coming to an end and that there will be nothing more in that world coming from the author, or that is at least what she has told the world for now. I am more searching about what will be the next thing, where will we find our new enchanted stories? Are you the one that will keep us under an entrancing spell for the next ten years? While I would love to think that I would be the one to bring this next epic adventure in to our lives, I know that I am far too guided by J.K. Rowling, David and Leigh Eddings and J.R.R. Tolkien and may copy too much of them to create something that is new and instead of joining these exclusive authors, I would just be another one in a long line of copy cats.
Perhaps this is why author Nick Horby has selected This city as the venue for his new museum inspiring the youth, and future authors of this country to put pen to paper and open their minds to unbounded posibilities....
