The holiday season tends to lead us all into re-watching Harry Potter. So are you going to revisit the series over Christmas this year?
Harry Potter is not a holiday movie. Or better yet, it isn’t specific to any season. But we tend to watch it at certain times of the year. So the real question is, are you going to watch it over Christmas?
The movies (and books for that matter) take place throughout the entire year. So why do we fixate on them at Christmas time? Well, I think it is the magic of the holiday season to be quite honest. This time of year is special.
No only do many of us celebrate with the movies but many of our gifts still are themed around Harry and his friends. For instance, I bought my sister in law an Ollivander’s wand holder for her wand that I know she’s going to love.
Maybe it’s because it is easy. Buying something from the wizarding world will make any fan excited. Opening a new book or just simply seeing their house colors in something can make or break the holiday season.
So maybe that’s why we associate Christmas with the series. So manny of us have had our gifts centered around Harry Potter and his friends friends, it is just fitting that we continue to love him at Christmas time everybody year.
Does that mean that every fan watches the series again over the holidays? No but a good chunk do and so maybe we can consider them Christmas movies. They do say “Happy Christmas” in it so at least there’s that.
