of school’ is the
only first reason
that millions of
people around the world
are still waiting for their
letter from Hogwarts.
Imagine standing in
your school balcony to
watch the ocean around,
hearing Christmas carols
charming the corridors,
9
Dumbledore - He
may arguably be
the sole reason
every Chennaite
should never miss
HP. I mean how often could
you have a 150 year old
man with a long beard (so
capable to create Swachh
Bharath in a swish) as
your Manthravaadhi

political, friendly, good-
Dobby the
House Elf in
Harry Potter
and The
Chamber Of
Secrets (2002)
having House names
with an Ardent patriotism,
shifting staircases and
most of all mystery and
unimaginable history.
(Forget for a minute, the
boring uniforms and tiring
homework that erodes us)
natured, kind, loving,
mischievous, sooo very
perfect yet so imperfect,
probably the only idealistic
old person the youth of
Chennai would wish to look
up to in senescence.
