Fantasy

There are so many life lessons that are present all throughout the Harry Potter series. It's the best that these books are aimed at a younger audience because it teaches lessons that are very important for the shaping of adult lives. For example, these stories teach people that you're capable of doing pretty much anything (within reason) as long as you have the help and support of your friends. The trio had the perfect balance of bravery, intellect, and creativity which is why they all survived through the endeavors they went through. The series also taught us that being the smartest shouldn't really be the most important thing in a person's life. Even though the trio's escapades would've gone nowhere fast without Hermione's ability to remember every single thing she reads, they also wouldn't have gotten far if Harry wasn't so brave and determined. That being said, other qualities shouldn't be shadowed by intelligence. Harry and his friends also taught us that we are fully capable of deciding our fate. As long as we are in the right mindset, we can stay on the path that we believe in the most. Even with the pressure of the people around you, it's always you who makes the final decision. Arguably one of the best life lessons that Harry Potter taught us was that love conquers all. Harry had the upper hand on Voldemort because of Voldemort's inability to feel love. With all of the love that Harry felt for his parents and his friends and vise versa, he was able to defeat the dark lord. Sometimes the love, support and motivation that comes from family and friends is all you need to get through the hardships of life.
