250 silly reasons why you would love Harry Potter

I've been looking at the list of "Game threads" over at our Portkey and realized that a lot of our old game threads had been deleted during the last FanForum pruning.

And well, I think the "reasons" thread was too good a game to waste, so I've decided to "resurrect" it. But with a twist. [img]http://www.*******.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif[/img]

Instead of listing your reasons why YOU love Harry et al., this time, let's make a list of reasons why you think other people would love Harrry. (Think of this as a public service if you must, to all those non-lovers out there, that if/when they read this list, it might help them understand *cough*our obsession*cough* why love harry so much.)

And also, I'm encouraging everyone to be as silly as you like.
Let's make this a la David Letterman's top 10 list.

Lastly, please put JUST ONE reason per post.
If you have 10 reasons, don't make 10 consecutive posts.
Wait for another person to post first before making another one, ok?



All clear? Got it? Good! I'll start.

1) Because it would make you realize that there is actually a use to all those Latin classes that you had to endure in school.
