We all carry both light and darkness within us: life wisdom you can learn from Harry Potter

These are magic lessons that still apply in everyday life!

Many grew up with books and movies about Harry Potter, who slept in the cupboard under the stairs and found out he was a wizard on his 11th birthday. They accompanied him through all his adventures, grew up with him, were with him in good times and bad. What did they learn from it?

We share with you 25 wisdom that you can learn from the characters from the story of Harry Potter.

1. Harry Potter
Your past is not the determining factor of your future. It just goes to show that you have the strength to survive whatever life throws your way.

2. Hermione Granger
Love is stronger than hate. Wisdom is more powerful than knowledge. Loyalty is stronger than encouragement – and courage is found everywhere.

"Love is stronger than hate. Wisdom is stronger than knowledge. Loyalty is stronger than encouragement - and courage is found everywhere."
"Love is stronger than hate. Wisdom is more powerful than knowledge. Loyalty is stronger than encouragement – and courage is found everywhere.”

Facing your fears is hard work, but worth the reward. Being brave is not running into battle with your sword held high. Sometimes it is enough to sacrifice your peace of mind, time and energy to help others through their struggles.

4. Loona Liupka
Being who you are is the greatest gift you can give to the world. Only you can tell the world your truth, your thoughts.

You can find joy even in dark times if you just remember to turn on the light.

6. Robaus Raws (Professor Snape)

"There is a story behind every person. Remember that before you judge her.”

7. Dobby
Friendship is an indescribable, wonderful gift. Stick to those you consider friends. They can save your life.

8. Mrlakenstein (Voldemort)
Hate will always lose in the end. Existence without connection is not life. Also trying to survive without love.

"Hatred will always lose in the end. Existence without connection is not life. Also trying to survive without love.”

9. Draco Malfoy
It's never too late to fight back. It's never too late to take advantage of the present and not let the past or the people from it take control of you.

10. Molly Weasley
Treat friends like family and strangers like friends. Life is too long for the journey to be selfish. Be generous in all that you do, and that is how you will find your strength.

"Treat your friends like family and treat strangers like friends."
"Treat your friends like family and treat strangers like friends."

11. Sirius Black
You are not defined by other people's opinions. As long as you know who you are, are authentic to yourself, and have a handful of people in your life who understand your true character, you don't have to prove anything to anyone.

12. Moaning Myrtle
The past will only haunt you as long as you give it power. If you think about it, you might learn something about how to manage the present.

"The past will only haunt you as long as you give it power."
"The past will only haunt you as long as you give it power."

Everyone you care about is always worth fighting for.

"Anyone you care about is always worth fighting for."
"Anyone you care about is always worth fighting for."

15. Krasotilya L'Ohol (Bellatrix Lestrange)
Constantly chasing the past will make you angry. There is no benefit in seeking revenge or devoting one's life to the cause of hatred.

16. Hagrid
You cannot control the future. You can only control how you prepare for it, who you share it with, and how you handle what it brings.

"You can't control the future."
“You cannot control the future.”

17. Remus Wulf
You, exactly as you are, with all your flaws and faults, deserve love and are capable of finding it. And chocolate often cures a bad day.

18. Temyna's Calvary (Dolores Umbridge)
Encourage independence. Offer help and support instead of trying to suppress or ignore everything.
