Seven Things I Learned From Harry Potter:

1. Love is a power more potent and more mystifying than we could ever begin to imagine.

2. It is our choices that make us what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

3. Not everything is what it appears.

4. True courage is not being fearless: rather, it is being terrified of something, yet going ahead and doing it anyway.

5. If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

6. When choosing a path, one must make the choice between what is right and what is easy.

7. Real life, life stronger than death, is found by giving your life for another.
