Hello everyone, this is Miragopal Gopalakrishnan and this time I am back with another interview, not with an author, but with a reader change everyone needs, right? So I thought I will also change a bit to go with the reader this week. So this week I have with me Ms. Stefani Sikwaria, who is an avid reader and a great Harry Potter fan. I warmly welcome Ms. Stefani to this session of swell cast. I am very glad that she has accepted my invitation to be on this webcast

I think I was around 13 years old when that happened, so that was a long time. But ever since I entered the Harry Potter universe, my love for reading has just expanded. Besides reading, I do like writing. I am a graphic designer and I'm learning web designing and coding. So these are some of my many hobbies. I do like coloring and art, but I'm not throwing it. It's just something I like doing

So now, coming to your favorite book, Harry Potter series, you tell that you love this fantasy series a lot and let your listeners know what is so special about Harry Potter that you love it so much?

Harry Potter teaches you a lot of things about being different, about being unique and you don't always have to be brave to be a hero. We have characters that are not even witches, wizards and have become even much bigger like Hermione she is one of my favorites because she proves that as a human you are capable of doing wondrous things and just because you're a book lover doesn't mean that you are a nerd

I simply loved the way he has set up the game against who know who and Harry Potter. It's like the thriller aspect of that book. And I simply adore the strategies of Dumbledore and him sacrificing himself for the larger cost. It kind of not only resonated with me but also the fact that it resonated with the Indian epics I have read including Mahbarata. The larger cost the larger cost of humanity is bigger than yourself mold kind of thing

We try to be copy other people or be what society wants us to be. But Luna on the other hand, was herself. She was her own awkward, weird kind of a soul. She that she was a kind soul and she was quite a colorful personality to have in the Harry Potter world regard. Even though, yes, Hamadi was a good character and I resonated with her whole lot and other character would be never he wasn't brave at all

Hermione is one of my favorite character also and incidentally, like I have never watched the movie I never felt like watching it after reading the book and one of the reason was also Hermione. I would say somehow the description of hermione in the book and the person who played the role in the movie, I couldn't connect both

And I think I like this story mainly because of how it portrays a girl that was to lead a lot with mistreated, how all of that one fateful night flooded out of her and became, well, the worst thing the town has ever experienced. And among Carrie, I think there were many other books that Pet Symmetry and The Shining, some of he's written some of the great horrible I mean, besides Stevenson. They did like our Sign too

I would be one of the very few who have not read Stefanie King, to be frank. But yeah, and it Blighter and JK. Rowling and the other authors you've mentioned, I've read all of them. Somehow I could never connect with the way Stefanie King had written. But that is, as you know, it varies from person to person as how they connect with the author. So very nice to hear about the your favorite book of Steven King

And now it was up to the two sisters and their cousin, brother and sister, to continue the journey. And my writing style since taking has changed. And I feel like every time I look at a book, there's something or the other I need to change. And I want to say I've given up entirely on the book. It's just that life seems to be keeping me on my toes all the time, so I never really have a chance to actually do it
