What have the Harry Potter novels taught you?
 

What life lessons have you learned from the Harry Potter novels? ARE there any life lessons to be learned from Harry's story and the wizarding world? Perhaps it wasn't the novels themselves that taught you something important, but steered you towards an event/person/place/etc that helped you learn a valuable life lesson? Let us know in this discussion thread!

Original Discussion Idea from FearlessLeader19

These books have taught me that friendships are perhaps the most important relationships we will ever have in our lives. Back when I was a preteen {when I first read the books}, I was like 'yeah, friendship is important' and I always kept this at the back of my mind for some reason. It wasn't until in recent years that I truly understood this, when I had an 'AHA! moment'. It was only then that I fully appreciated the Trio being there for each other and also that heartwarming reveal about the portrait's on Luna's bedroom ceiling.
