Forgiveness and Desire

There is a good reason the Harry Potter books are still truly magical after 20 years...

Even though the books are fantasy the themes and characters are so human and relatable.

I wanted to celebrate this idea in my build. There are two scenes that hit me in the heart whenever I re-read the books for the billionth time.

One side shows the Mirror of Erised from the first book. The scene where Harry sits in front of the mirror drinking in the sight of his family is both heartbreaking and beautiful. It is my favourite part of the series.

The other side shows the sword in the frozen pond from the Deathly Hallows. I love that all of the characters are flawed. This scene where Ron saves Harry, admits his jealousy and regret and is forgiven for abandoning the trio is a gorgeous moment. So utterly human.

Happy 20th Anniversary Harry!

Thank you for checking out my build and good luck to everyone entering the contest 😊.
