Key to believe in the magic of Harry Potter.

How BROOMSTICK used in Harry Potter series?

Broomsticks are used for transportation by wizards and witches of all ages, and for the game of Quidditch. Their use is similar to that of flying carpets, although the latter are banned in Great Britain. However, they are uncomfortable for extensive trips, even with the cushion charm. Broomsticks are treated as a major consumer product in the Wizarding world. There are numerous brands and models of brooms, all of which vary in their capabilities. These range from expensive high-performance models to toy broomsticks for young children that only fly a few feet off the ground to even family-sized broomsticks that have room for an entire family to sit down on and have a luggage compartment below the seating area.
Since Harry plays Quidditch, his brooms - a Nimbus 2000, and later a Firebolt - are prominent in the series. The Nimbus 2000 was given to him by special consent of Dumbledore via Minerva McGonagall, who had chosen him as Seeker.The Firebolt was given to him by Sirius as a Christmas gift after his Nimbus was destroyed during a Quidditch match.The Firebolt remains the fastest broom in the world, having surpassed the previous record holder, the Nimbus 2001, and its price is so grand that it is only available upon request.

Tool used by witches and wizards to channel magical powers.

A wand is a tool used by witches and wizards to channel magical powers. Most spells are done with the aid of wands. It is possible to do magic without a wand, but is very difficult and requires much concentration and skill. Only advanced wizards can perform spells without the use of wands. Wands are "quasi-sentient", and as close to animate as an object can get because they are imbued with a great deal of magic.
Although the wand cores may come from the same creature, or the wood may come from the same tree,

no two wands are exactly alike.

You my love are so far away
I miss you ever more
The love that we both do share
Grows greater than before
The more talk to you
The more I wanna see your face
Love to hear your sweet sound voice
To feel your warm embrace
I want you here by my side
Forever and day
You can spend eternity in my arm
And I'd never go away
I would do any thing
As long as you're there
Someone I know is special
Someone I knows who care

What kind of a friend daz Harry have?

People today, in all this new world technology and thinking, have lost sight of what a true friendship is. So, in sprit of Harry's best friend's (Harmione and Ron) , I thought I would help the world out a little and explain what real, true friends r.

1. Friends don't have to be exactly the same. Friends have similarities but they also have their differences. They key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each other's faults. Because you can't ever judge your friend.
2. Friends have to argue! No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy. Cause if you agree on everything, either the government has expanded cloning subjects or someone isn't being true and is trying a little too hard.
3. You have to be comfortable together or else you just aren't going to click. If you feel edgy around the person then something isn't quite right.
4. Friends love unconditionally. They have there little angry moments but what's done is done and all is forgive and forget. Y let something that happened in the past ruin what happiness you could have in the future?
5. Believe in love at first sight because there is the equivalent in friendship. Some people think that you have to know someone really well to become good friends. Trust me, it's not true. If the first time you really spend time together you talk for 25 hours straight until 4:30 in the morning about some topic you thought no one else in the world understood, hun, that's real love at first sight.

These r only a few of the basics. Just remember, friends are forever. But only if you keep it that way. Don't diss your buds, love them instead. And when they drive you nuts, love them that much more for being just a little bit different and maybe just a little bit quirky!

Does dealing w/ fantacy and imagination is wrong and sinful.

In life there are some things that are black and white issues and easily discernable by Christians. The Harry Potter series, however, lives in the grey matter between the two. There are two extremes in the Christian community. The one extreme is Christians who believe that anything dealing with fantasy and the imagination is wrong and sinful. The other extreme feels that we as Christians need to live in the world to understand it. These Christians would have no problem with reading Harry Potter. So, who is right? Tiring of hearing Christians who haven't read Harry Potter comment on them like they had, I decided to read the series myself and draw my own conclusions.

MAGIC DISCLAIMER: Before I begin I think I need to define the term Magic.
When we are discussing issues within the realms of reality and real life a discussion on Magic can be broken down into two types: 1.) Illusion and slight of hand and 2.) Magic that is found in witchcraft and other cultic practices. The first definition is not really touched on in Scripture, although we do find people like Gideon using it in warfare (Book of Judges). The second definition is blatantly sinful according to the Bible. Witches and wizards are condemned for their sorcery. Why? Because they did not believe and worship the God of Heaven and believe in his Son. Instead they relied on their own powers and control, seeking fame and fortune by thir false practices of divination, looking to themselves and spirits to give them power. Yet is not magic the use of supernatural powers? Could not a Christian who prays for a sick person who mysteriously becomes well be comdemned for using magic? No. It is not the use of spiritual power that makes "magic" bad. It is looking and calling for spiritual power from the wrong places that makes it a sin. So what do we say when we see a Wizard like Gandalf in J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings use magic? At first, nothing. We must examine the source from which it comes. Further review of Tolkien's masterpiece will show that Gandalf is using powers that were established by an all Good Being during the creation of the world. Only later when some powerful spirit beings rebelled did wickedness enter the world. It was this wickedness and evil that Gandalf used his magic to fight. The same can be seen in the Chronicles of Narnia where we find magic rings, a magical painting, and a magic wardrobe. And what about all that magical stuff Aslan did? Again, we need to examine the context. All powers used in Narnia were from God. I am not, at this point, endorsing Harry Potter. All that I am asking is that when you deal with Fantasy Magic, you must realize that it may not be what you think. Read it. Understand it's context. Then reach your conclusion from there.

What is Love?

Love is a strange thing. It can be the most amazing feeling in the world, or it can really hurt, but in the end love is something most, if not all of us, will face. While there are many different ways to define love and there are many different ways to love someone (even yourself).

Steps on how to love:
Say it. When you say the word "I Love You", they should carry with them the desire to show someone that you love them, not what you simply want to feel. When you say it make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person.
Empathize. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Rather than impose your own expectations or attempt to control them, try to understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are.
Love unconditionally. If you cannot love another person without attaching stipulations, then it is not love at all, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others).
Expect nothing in return. That doesn't mean you should allow someone to mistreat or undervalue you. It means that giving love does not guarantee receiving love.
Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have.

Tips: "It does not make you a bad person to desire someone else's love, even if they do not love you. However, to truly love someone, you must let them be free. It is selfish to blame them for your feelings."
