Colin Creevey deserves a lot better than he got in Harry Potter

Our lovely little photographer Colin Creevey, who wanted to befriend Harry more than anything, deserved a lot better. So we’re giving him his time.

Colin Creevey was saved by his camera during Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. But more than that, he was an important guy who deserved a lot more recognition than he got. In Harry Potter, there are so many characters that it can get hard to appreciate all of them.

So why did we let Colin Creevey slip through our fingers? Probably because he only appeared a few times throughout the series. But that didn’t stop us from loving him as one of our favorite characters.

I just think the great thing about this series is that we cling to the underdog characters. It isn’t that they’re important or that we love them more than the main characters but we just love that his excitement mirrored ours about the series.

Colin was so happy to meet Harry and his friends, he wanted to be with them and he was just happy to be a part of this world, much like the rest of us. So maybe it’s that Colin mirrors us as fans of this series.

We’re just all so happy to be a part of this story and we want to be involved in whatever way we can, which is exactly how Colin is. So why do we think he deserves more? Well, because he reminds us of ourselves. So we don’t want to be anything other than truly happy.

So this one is for Colin Creevey. He is a sweet boy who just wanted to be friends with Harry, Ron, and Hermione and we wish we would have known him better.
