Aspirations of a Lifelong Potterhead

 

When I have a kid, on their 11th birthday I will gift them my copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Once they finish the book, I will play the DVD and we will watch it together.
And then on, every year for their birthday I will gift him/her the next book. And once they finish each book I will play the DVD of the movie and we will watch it together.
After watching the 8th movie, I shall tell them "You have come of age now. Whenever you have a problem, think about what these books and movies have taught you. And once you remember that, when you don't forget everything you have learnt from it, you will have found the tools to destroy the Horcruxes of Life, you will realize that you are happy, happy as can be. And Nineteen Years Later, when you pass on the books to your children, or when you are watching the 8th movie, whether I am here or have passed through The Veil to King's Cross, just call out to me using the Resurrection Stone that is your heart, and I shall always be there with you".
And when my kid asks "You still love them? After all this time?"
And I shall reply "Always".
