If Harry Potter Was Real: A Whole New World

By Sydney Marsman on January 28, 2016

I’ve always been a committed Harry Potter fan, but this past week I’ve been particularly intrigued with the magical series. It breaks my heart to admit the fact that Harry Potter isn’t a living, breathing person.So, I must ask, what if we lived in Harry’s world? What if we all attended Hogwarts? What if we all went to Diagon Alley to choose our wants when we reached the proper age? I am aware that this story isn’t entirely realistic. However, one can dream. And this is why I am going to write about what I think our world would look like if it actually was full of magic.

First of all, everyday activities would be a lot easier. I have the feeling that if I had the ability to create magic, I would use it to do all of my everyday chores. *casts spell “Okay, dishes are done.” *casts spell “Okay, now the laundry is done.” Life would go by so much quicker with the ability to use magic. A part of me feels like since all of the little pieces of my schedule could be finished in a few seconds, I would end up feeling very bored.

Second, everything would be a lot prettier. Remember that scene in Harry Potter where we look into Snape’s memories and see Harry’s mom literally grow a flower in her hand out of nothing? Living in a world with magical ability would allow us to create a much more beautiful world. We could grow flowers and disapparate to whatever place we feel like, whenever we feel like it. Also, maybe this would mean that when we walk down our streets they wouldn’t be filled with filled with trash and mold – because it would be so easy to clean everything up.

Third, everyone would have a lot more in common. Obviously, everyone who is a witch or a wizard has one thing in common: they have the ability to use magic. As it is portrayed in the books and in the movies, the people in the wizarding world are kind of close knitted. It almost seems like living in a small town, except everyone in the town has a wand. I think that if we had the abilities that Harry and his friends have, we would be more inclined to be closer to the people around us because we would have much more in common.

Every night, a little piece of me prays that I will wake up in the morning and I will see a 9 ½ inch wand sitting on my bedside table. A world where magic is a possibility would just be much more fun, filled with so many more possibilities.
