Exploring the Magic of Harry Potter 

Page 8

The Value of Friendship

While Harry’s story is fictional, it can teach its readers some importance lessons on friendship. During his first year at Hogwarts, Harry befriends Ron Weasley, a freckle-faced boy who comes from a large family of redheaded wizards and witches and Hermione, a bossy bookworm who ends up being the voice of reason the majority of the time. Over the course of their years together, the trio endures bullies, exams, Dementors, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and of course, puberty. 
During his adventures at school, Harry and his friends go through their fair share of conflict and trials. However, the books model humility and forgiveness when it comes to companionship. 
Harry would not have survived without the many diverse friendships he established in all seven books.

Along the way, Harry also discovers that friends can become family. His biological family that he was placed with after his parents’ death, the Dursleys, don’t offer Harry much support and treat him quite poorly. However, after he befriends Ron, he quickly develops strong relationships with the rest of the Weasleys. Mrs. and Mr. Weasley treat Harry as their own son over time, knowing that he lacks these important relationships in his life.
