The door in the Department of Mysteries that is always Closed

I am fascinated by Harry Potter, not because it is an exciting literary work but rather because it has the power of transporting me to a parallel world where magic exists...where people are not unlike us yet so different...where love is still the most important emotion. I think i became such an avid fan after reading the Order of Phoenix....when she tells us about the room in the department of mysteries which is always kept locked. The greatest mysteries in the world...LOVE. And after that everything fell in to place, like a jigsaw puzzle i could make out the metaphors....suddenly it was a love ballad with a beautiful bird singing in the background...a symphony whose lyrics were being written by a soul...the magical journey into the land where everything is plainly simple....yet said metaphorically. the Pensieve...the Phoenix...the lion and the snake...the dementors...all made sense and well...i was bewitched.

I have tried shouting at people, telling them that they are wrong about their speculations and all but i forgot the most important factor of any good book is that the writer has the right to twist it the way she finds it fit. I mean why should i ponder about what will and what won't happen next. What i need to do is marvel at Harry Potter...the magical journey of a little boy, trying so hard to just fit in...find his place. And i would devote this blog entirely to appreciation....not on speculation. This is the blog where i would go rant about the books i love...why i love them and what i love about them...I hence am changing the name of my blog...still have to figure out how to do it but i would...

So it is going to be my arcade of my thoughts about things i feel most strongly about...books and stories. I add stories to include movies as well...

So all the book lovers and movie fans are welcome....no speculation...just thoughts and opinions....a book club...I invite all the people to share the magic...
