Five of my most important values:
1. my faith
2. family
3. friends
4. honesty
5. kindness
The Harry Potter series is very important to me. I read the series in high school, sense then they have remained by favorite books. I would say that the value of family, friends, honesty and kindness are all embedded in the Harry Potter series. A running theme in the book is that Harry has no family, but is basically adopted by the people around him. The Wesley's, Lupin, Serious, Hagrid, Dumbledore are all there to protect him and play that parenting roll. The value of friendship is also very important in this series. Everything Harry accomplishes is a team effort with is friends. He doesn't really do anything alone because his friends won't let him. Honesty and kindness are portrayed in the sense that the good win and the bad don't. Another way we see kindness is that Harry is such a famous kid, but he isn't affected by that. He is just a normal guy even though he has all this responsibility and attention thrust upon him. I like that although Harry is good and kind he is still a human and gets mad and has a hard time understanding why everything is happening to him.
