Harry Potter and the Boy Who Slayed: A Gen Z Guide to the Wizarding World ⚡️

Alright, besties, let’s talk about Harry Potter—aka the book series that had all of us waiting for our Hogwarts letter like it was Amazon Prime delivery. Whether you grew up with the books, the movies, or just got bullied into reading them by your Potterhead friend, this series is straight-up legendary.

But let’s be real—sometimes the fandom gets way too intense, and reading all seven books can feel like a whole side quest. That’s where this series comes in. Harry Potter and the Boy Who Played is my way of breaking down each book in a way that’s fun, unfiltered, and totally bingeable. Think of it as a mix between a book review, a survival guide, and the kind of deep-dive convo you’d have at 2 AM with your best friend.

Here’s what you’ll get in each post:

• An intro (because context matters, duh) – when the book dropped, what inspired it, and the cultural reset it caused.

• A summary – but make it ✨ engaging ✨ (because I actually want you to read it).

• The main themes – aka what J.K. Rowling was tryna teach us in between all the magical chaos.

• Movie vs. book breakdown – because we all know they left out some iconic moments.

• Fun facts – the kind of stuff that’ll make you say “no way” at least once.
