Are yo ready my friend to start our journey from train station precisely, pavement nine and three-fourths? Let's set our destination to Hogwarts school. If I took back to late March 2019 specifically in Koszalin, Poland, you'll find yourself standing with me among group of people
• 02:30 - 03:00 that are surrounding fire and glaring daggers. They wore religious attire instead of regular clothes. -"Who are they, Abo Hmeed?" -They are a group of Catholic priests were standing and burning things in a symbolic way. things that represent corruption and evil that they want to eliminate it from the world and the most important representation in their opinion is witchcraft. The picture of this event will spread widely. People looked at the burnt things and thought they can found it, African mask, Buddhist statues a mascot that was written a witch's book, a talisman that was buried in the graveyard, all of those were expected to be found.
• 03:00 - 03:30 However, what was unexpected was that when we looked at the burnt items, we found Harry Potter books titled 'The Boy Who Lived.' with his glasses and well-known scar. "Abo Hmeed, why are the priests are burning Harry Potter books in Poland? Isn't it a children's book? Or is this a systematic war against Egypt's renaissance as the country that translated it. Is Almasriah Alkubnaniah bookstore related to this issue?" What is the relation between children's books and the corruption and evil in the world? My friend, you made the same mistake that you did in the amine episode because neither amine is Cartoon nor Harry potter books are for children. If any Potter head heard you saying that, it'll be an argument.
• 03:30 - 04:00 He can be an employee or a grown man, but he still wants to ride a broomstick, And his kids think he held a key role on Gryffindor's team. According to a study that was held in the US in 2011, one third of the American people between 18-34 years old didn't just read Harry Potter they're obsessed. real fans that knew the names of Hogwarts students' names class by class, names of mascots, when it was used and with who, who are Gryffindor and who are Slytherin, the shape of patronus and their defense spell. Half of the American youth read at least one book of this series and 3/4 of them at least watched a film from the series.
• 04:00 - 04:30 This is just one country, we didn't mention the rest of the world. Those Poland priests found that a whole generation is escaping from the reality and want to study in a school of magic, play Quidditch, and fight darkness by casting spells. The act of the priests may be extreme, but we were just as surprised as they were, wondering how a fictional book written for children could gain such power and immense popularity. It turned into a significant power, leading some people to view it as something devilish. The answer of this question requires that we go back to beginning of the journey "Yes, Abo Hmeed, Part 1, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone."
• 04:30 - 05:00 No, my friend, I mean the journey of making the book itself since it was just an idea in the mind's of the creator of this world, The world-famous Novelist Joanne Rowling. The key difference between adult and children's literature is, in the world of children, reality isn’t enough, everything that surrounds you is a potential for a magical thing the imagination is fertile, so smallest thing can inspire the creation of an entire world. Joanne will live a normal and magic-free childhood. she was born 1965 in Britain, her father was an aeromechanics, and her mother was a Lab Administrator in a school. Here's the problem, this reality wasn't enough for Joanne.
• 05:00 - 05:30 That’s why, reading became the gateway to a richer world for Joanne than hers, a less boring world. Joanne learnt to read by herself at an early period. While other children were learning 'A for Apple' and 'B for Banana,' Joanne was engrossed in reading about Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm. They were fictional novels with animal protagonists. According to Joanne's wide imagination, she decided to take these stories or ideas from it to create it's own world. As if Joanne's life, seen through the imagination of others, wasn’t enough.
• 05:30 - 06:00 She wasn’t just dissatisfied with her own ordinary, boring reality, she was also dissatisfied with the imagination of the people whose works she read. No, let me bring my own imagination! She wrote her first story at the age of 6 about her young sister Dianne. she said in this story that she fell in a hole full of rabbits meanwhile the rabbits sat with her in the hole and fed her strawberries. My friend, this was her first story to write, so don't despair and remember that achieving goals begins like this. Can you imagine, my friend, she became the most important best seller in all time? You'll notice that the protagonists in Joanne's stories were not animals, Unlike the stories she used to read, these featured human protagonists,
• 06:00 - 06:30 but the world that surrounds is a magical one. This world may seem limited, its protagonists are a girl, strawberries, and rabbits. But it was the seed of a much larger world which is Harry Potter's world. In 1995, Joanne finished the first part of Harry Potter's series then she started to represent it to the publishing houses. You can imagine, of course, that this novel made a huge success, and everyone said she was a genius who would succeed with flying colors. In fact, the novel was rejected before it was even read. it was rejected by 12 publishing house not just one or two.
• 06:30 - 07:00 "Really, Abo Hmeed, do all of those have such a bad taste? How can they reject to publish Harry Potter!" In fact, at that time, they had a reason, She was a new writer introducing a book that was far larger in scope than a typical children's book, it was 90,000 words which's more than 220 pages without even some drawings or pictures to entertain the children. What child is going to read such a book? In fact, this is a very sensible question However, the ones who should answer that question are not the publishers, but the children, the category for whom the books were intended. Actually, the children answered this question and this took place when Joanne sent chapter 1 to bloomsbury.
• 07:00 - 07:30 what happens is that his 8-year-old daughter found this chapter on her father's desk. She read it, finished it, and asked her father a question, what will happen after this? This question from this child changed Joanne's life and the life of millions of people, as well. despite, the big size of the book and his printing problems, Bloomsbury risked and published it. "Abo Hmeed, the publishing house owner, should have rewarded his child, she will get him a lot of money." You might think that publishing the book means everything is perfect.
• 07:30 - 08:00 the children will love it. In fact, some people believed it was difficult for male children to read a book written by a woman Because they were afraid of being associated with girls. As you there was a beef between boys and girls at this age there were some teasing phrases between them, Drama queen alert! and all brawn, no brain. There was a beef between the two genders at some time. but everything changes in high-school when they become teens. Not only was the writer a woman, but she was also unknown.
• 08:00 - 08:30 The publishing house told her, the name of Joanne Rowling wasn't that good We need to change it to a name that does not indicate whether it's for a male or a female. Take care this name could increase the sales. We're going to put the initials of your name, so people couldn't know whether you're a male, female, fungi, or what. My friend, Joanne accepted and put "J", instead. What about her father's name? Here, Joanne couldn't answer because her relation with her father was the worst thing ever. Joanne decided to made up an easy name I won't put the name of this man ever! What is the letter that follows the letter "J" in the alphabet?
• 08:30 - 09:00 It's "K", so the name will be J K Rowling. let's move forward! Another reason for choosing the letter "K" is because she loved her grandmother and her name was Kathleen, let's move forward, again! As you know, my friend, when you make any new folder of your computer, you name it After a while, the book was published, specifically July 26, 1997. Part 1 was published in the market, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' and J K Rowling was written on its cover. Mt friend, Rowling's book will spread because there was a child who read it. she read just one chapter and after that wondered what will happen next. After publication, a similar state occurred to the girls state,
• 09:00 - 09:30 the book achieved remarkable success in the market thanks to many children,like this child As a child, Joanne Rowling was never surprised by any imagination In turn, the children were surprised by Rowling's imagination. what's that! you unleashed your imagination a lot however, you're a grown up but has a wide imagination! The book had 500 copies printed without signing ceremonies or advertisements and without sponsored posts, which didn't exist back then. One day, Joanne was entering her office to get coloring book for her child, so she glanced her book in the book library. She described her feelings at that moment as the greatest she had ever experienced.
• 09:30 - 10:00 In the beginning, the book sold a few copies, but it was like the domino effect, like knocking over a row of dominoes, where each piece causes the next one to fall. that was what happened, exactly! The book had the best advertising campaign imaginable. "Who were the creatives responsible for this campaign? They were people with the widest imagination in the world, children This campaign spread in the greatest way a campaign could ever have spread, word of mouth, the word. Each child recommends the book for his friend. if one student in a class liked the book and recommended it to their friends, it was a done deal, 30 copies would be sold.
• 10:00 - 10:30 The most common question in the school was, did you read Harry Potter? the book gained huge popularity among kids. But the idea that spread among adults was that, if they didn't know the book, their children surely did. My friend, the copies went from 500 to 50,000, the small hidden library became great windows display, the book entered the best seller children books' list, and won the Smarties Book Prize, If you're unaware, it's one of the top prizes for children's books. Even the book won this prize, thanks to the children, my friend, Because they participated in voting for this prize. The voting was centered around a question they were eager to answer, What will happen next?
• 10:30 - 11:00 In fact, my friend, Joanne didn't take much time to answer this question because, at the same time, she was visiting publishing houses to publish one part, although she faced a lot of rejection from them, she kept working on the other book. "Do I seem like a fool, making you ask just to boost sales?" In 2nd of July, 1998, after one year, Harry potter and the chamber of secrets was published. you'll enjoy the language of snakes, like Basilisk snake, watch the madness of professor Lockhart. The book succeeded with flying colors! Within just 6 weeks the book took the lead of the bestseller list in Britain.
• 11:00 - 11:30 This widespread made it go from children libraries to the schools' curriculum. to be a part of the reading curriculum Imagine having an exam in chapter of Harry Potter but you didn't revise the part the goblet of fire. I hope they don't include Deathly Hallows in the exam, it's difficult. Life abroad is great, the problem is you're here. At that time, adults' interest in the book began to emerge. In the beginning, they said, "My son is reading something I should check it too. Let’s see what’s entertaining them so much! Let's keep up with the new generation that uses computers." Here, the book didn't just grab their attention and win their admiration, they became obsessed with it like their children. This state didn't just grab the attention of the parents but also that of the tycoons,
• 11:30 - 12:00 film makers joined the party. In the year part 2 was published, Warner Bros. Inc. acquired the rights to produce the first two parts for $US2M. In fact, my friend, any writer offered $2M would accept it right away without a second thought and say "Take it directly I can write another 6 parts for you, on the spot!" In fact, my friend, J K Rowling was controlling Warner Bros. Inc. "Don't change anything in the text, I'm the one in control of it and its changes." and conditioned them to supervise the film, its scenario, and dialogue.
• 12:00 - 12:30 she took place, even, in choosing the actors, and those actors should be Brits, speak British accent "I don't want Americans who ask to learn British." She got a point, to be honest, You might be watching a film about an Egyptian story on Netflix, but they cast a Tunisian actor for El-Sadat's role She refused any ideas other than her imagination. If you admire the books that became films, you should know that both are Rowling's creations Till now, my friend, everything is great. The series became very popular and part 1 sold 300,000 copies in the first 2 years only!
• 12:30 - 13:00 reaching part 4, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which spread in July, 2000, and many readers consider it the best part of this series, which sold more than 3M copies in the first 2 days. In the first 2 days! The books were taken from the cargo cars before even putting it on the shelves. The books became the bestseller after 3 days of its publication. "Abo Hmeed, why did we jump the the 4th part? where is the 3rd part? I believe its good, it include time traveling, Gilberto Patrono, and Tom & Jery between Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, in addition, to werewolves
• 13:00 - 13:30 why is this part oppressed, Abo Hmeed?" There was no problem in part 3, but something new was introduced in part 4 for the first time, which was death. Part 4 was when the man known as 'He Who Must Not Be Named' made his first return, Lord Voldemort. Lord Voldemort! Part 4 begins as a truly fascinating chapter, filled with captivating events It starts with Quidditch World Cup and Triwizard tournament, as well. After all the great shows and entertainment, Lord Voldemort made his appearance. Voldemort introduced a new concept to the series and its readers which was death.
• 13:30 - 14:00 We heard the most famous phrase in this part, "Kill the spare," after which Cedric Diggory died. My friend, this was the first real sad scene in the series. Cho Chang Harry Potter-dancing In this moment, Harry Potter transformed from children's book to a more darkness book, after the return of the Lord of darkness himself. This transformation was terrifying! It even put Rowling's life in danger, a danger that came not from an imaginary character like Voldemort or Hogwarts,
• 14:00 - 14:30 but from real fanatics, and the conflict shifted from imagination to reality! "Oh God! what happened to her, Abo Hmeed?" Here, I'll appear as a brilliant student for J K Rowling making you want to know what's next? What happened? give me a second, I fly and return to you, do you know the fly spell? Wingardium Leviosa "Abo Hmeed, it's Leviosa not leviosaaa." Who knew you'd end up being a Potter-head? At the time Rowling was preparing herself for part 4 signings, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, She received a very serious threat claiming there was a bomb at the signing ceremony, specifically targeting her.
• 14:30 - 15:00 These threat came from a group of extremists, Similar to the opening scene. They discovered that her books didn’t just promote witchcraft and magic. Gradually, they evolved from being classified as children's books to ones filled with darkness, which is also reflected in the Warner Bros. logo. With each new part, the logo becomes darker. As I mentioned, my friend, this was the first time we witnessed the death of a character we knew. This was the first part to end with the return of evil instead of the triumph of good. The idea of heroes and major characters dying, became something we got used to as it happened frequently.
• 15:00 - 15:30 Since part 4, Joanne had no hesitation in killing off characters in the series, it doesn't matter how attached the readers or Joanne herself were to this character. I won't just spoil the movie for you, I'll spill all the twists and turns, right now. Sirius Black died in part 5, Dumbledore died in part 6, The final part 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' makes it clear, Which was like an obituary section. which included Dobby, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Mad Eye. "Abo Hmeed, which owl told you about all these news?"
• 15:30 - 16:00 Are you joking, even Harry Potter's owl died! All of this leads us to the most iconic death scene in the entire series, and perhaps in cinema history. Professor Snape's death scene It was even more horrific than the Red Wedding. Harry himself died and returned they woke him up just because why not! I think the director Mohamed Samy could have done it better, he could've killed all the characters except Hermione since Mai Omar would be playing her role instead. Let's get back to Harry Potter world, my friend, which became described and characterized by darkness.
• 16:00 - 16:30 This world attracted millions of people who not only loved its imagination but also wanted to keep mementos to feel like they were part of it. "Abo Hmeed, mementos like those found in any merchandise, like mugs with Harry Potter face, professor Snape scarves, Malfoy boxers." My friend, that wasn’t enough, people wanted mementos from this world, a living mementos from this world. This led to new campaigns, but this time from environmental activists who want wanted to boycott Harry Potter books because they caused environmental imbalance when many started buying owls and keeping them as pets, owls are being sold in shops in countries such as Indonesia, like the cats.
• 16:30 - 17:00 They named it Harry Potter's owl Some species of owls were endangered, prompting demands to place them in nature reserves. This turned the bestseller book into one of the most prohibited at the same time. Now, we arrive at the episode's key question, How could a book that began as a children's book take such a sharp, frightening turn and have such a great impact? paradox makes it more appealing, not less. What is special about this book? Thank you for the question! -"Abo Hmeed, I didn't ask!" -Thank you, my friend! Thank you for this question and let me use professor Dumbledore's phrase,
• 17:00 - 17:30 when he decided to help Gryffindor by making them win in the end of the school year in part 1 and giving them extra 10 points, "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends." "10 points for Gryffindor" So I'll give you 10 points for this question, my friend. "Abo Hmeed, what was the question!" -it was, what's special about Harry Potter? -Yes! I'll answer it, now. Harry Potter began as a children's book. In fact, it didn’t include pictures, but it didn’t even need them That’s because its language was simple enough for anyone, at any age, to read it
• 17:30 - 18:00 and it wasn't poor language, as well. Because Rowling used the visual abstraction technique, she described the feelings instead of stating them directly, allowing readers to imagine the scene while reading For example, instead of writing "Uncle Vernon felt anger," she described it as "the vein in the middle of Uncle Vernon's forehead pulsed with pressure, so you can visualize the anger a way to represent anger better than expressing it. My friend, we were witnessing a children's book with simple events and language, but it didn't stay that way because the children readers grew up with it. Most characters in children's books remain the same age throughout the entire series
• 18:00 - 18:30 Until the kids grow up, leave this series, and look for something more mature. Have you heard that Jimmy Neutron moved to New York for a job? Ben 10 opened a watch shop, or Homer became shredded They remain the same, with the same character and traits, and they don't grow up. This was a universal thing until Harry Potter change the game rules. The child, who reads the book, grows with its heroes. Part 1 started with the story of Harry the child Who received the acceptance letter from the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of 11.
• 18:30 - 19:00 Part 2, You grew one year older, so he moved on to the second school year with all his surrounding heroes in his world. My friend, age wasn't the only thing that changed, the type of problems changed as well. The problems changed from children competing for house points and winning the House Cup. This started to change and witnessed a clear confrontation with death. After part 4, we began to see other schools of witchcraft besides Hogwarts, and a conflict arose because of Triwizard Tournament. The issue escalated, and so did the competition. Over time, fights and problems intensified as we reached our teenage years.
• 19:00 - 19:30 The problems began with choosing a dance partner we heard the most famous quote "We started to witness misbehavior, my friend!" We started to talk about couples, relationships, and see kisses! My friend, he book was no longer children's book because it grew with them, thanks to Joanne Rowling, who envisioned everything from the beginning and planned all the books. Since she came up with the idea for the story while taking the train in 1990,
• 19:30 - 20:00 she was aware of the fate of Harry, Voldemort, and Snape. Before publishing her first book in 1997 She completed the final chapter of the last book, which remained unchanged at all until its publication 10 years later, in 2007. My friend, we have some Ramadan series where the actor is unaware of his fate tomorrow in the 30th episode. However, Rowling's decision to determine the end from the beginning made the story very cohesive. By using events from part 1 as solutions and answers to questions in the later parts, which made the story very cohesive.
• 20:00 - 20:30 She starts the story knowing how it ends. The work turned out exactly as it was written in the books. Rowling, my friend, for example, benefited from a moment that happened at the beginning, like when Harry catches the Snitch with his mouth, to use it in the last part, when Dumbledore leaves him a message. The message is inside the Snitch, which only opens with his mouth, just like he caught the ball in the first part. Not to mention, my friend, that she knew all the twists, she unfolded all the surprises in the story step by step, not all of a sudden. Like, my friend, one of the greatest twists, for example, my friend, when we discover that Snape, the gloomy, depressing, despicable person,
• 20:30 - 21:00 the Half-Blood Prince, that actually, my friend, he was trying to help Harry. Why? Because he loved his mother! As he is walking in the school, he stops Harry Potter and tells him, "Yes, come stand like this, it's your mother's eye, and your father's foolishness! Your dad James is...! But Lily is...!" And here, my friend, we recall every time there was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding we thought Snape was evil, trying to take down Harry, and we recall every time there was a misunderstanding between us as readers and Snape, and we say: "Wow! Were we that bad? Did we really seeing this man as evil? even though he cares about the boy's welfare!"
• 21:00 - 21:30 - Shame on you, filthy viewer! - "What?" Even, my friend, the scene that was in the sixth part, where Snape killed Dumbledore, he killed the great man, the man who was giving away 10 points for free, and Dumbledore was begging him, and you see, my friend, Dumbledore saying to him: "Please, I beg you!" And I remember him saying, "Please don't kill me!" Turns out he was saying: "Please kill me, because anyway there is a curse that will kill me, so when you kill me, Voldemort will trust you, so you can earn Voldemort's friendship, and help Harry." "Wow, Abo Hmeed! I really like Snape!" Everything, my friend, was connected in front of us from the beginning,
• 21:30 - 22:00 but we didn't see it that way. Of course this doesn't deny that Rowling changed things during writing, there were decisions she was going to make, and decisions she changed. For example, in the fifth part, Arthur Wesley was supposed to be the one who dies, not Sirius Black. But that didn't happen here. "Abo Hmeed, let me ask you a question, since I haven't read this series, I might have just seen the movies, but why me, as a child or as a grown-up can get attached to these heroes in this magical world? when I already know it's fictional! why do I get attached to a world that has no existence in reality?" Your question, my friend, is nice, but let's respond to it with a question. Are you sure that the world of Hogwarts is very far from reality?
• 22:00 - 22:30 The human mind loves to extract a recurring pattern for things, even if it was doing illogical things, like someone who gets burned by soup, blows on yogurt! He's not careful, he's foolish! Of course, my friend, the purpose of these rules is protection. So it starts by being vague, caution and taking precautions from everything in this world yes, it protects us from reality, but it also creates within us nostalgia for a world that has no such rules, a world where breaking the rules is the rule, we break freely, without feeling any guilt of any kind, and without needing to fix anything. The imagination itself of the scenarios that could happen, makes you feel happiness.
• 22:30 - 23:00 Magic indeed fulfills this very well, because control in general is a nice idea, and an idea we love, to control things, that you couldn't control before, is a beautiful idea. The irony here is that the roots of this world are deeply embedded in reality, or according to the expression of the writer Max Beerbohm, This, my friend, is the most important feature of Harry Potter, it is a magical world completely different from ours, but at the same time very similar to it, its foundations are all borrowed from our world. If we start with the hero, we will find that Joanne brought him from her childhood world, the name Harry is her favorite name, and Potter was the name of their neighbors, whom she used to play with long ago,
• 23:00 - 23:30 and Harry's birthday is the same as hers, the house where Harry lived was like their house, with the same room that was under the stairwell, but the difference is that Joanne didn't sleep in it. And since Joanne didn't have a phone when she was little, and she relied on letters, so also, she depended on it as the means of communication within the novel. "Abo Hmeed, don't you notice an inconsistency in what you are saying? That Joanne is a woman, and Harry is a guy!" Actually, my friend, because of that, Joanne decided to create a female character somewhat like her, she saw the smart girl who loves books more than anything in the world, which is, my friend, naturally, no need to guess, Hermione, who is supposed to embody Rowling's character in the events,
• 23:30 - 24:00 a smart girl, who loves books more than anything in the world, and corrects her classmates' mistakes, and doesn't bully them. "Yes, Abo Hmeed, Leviosa, Not Leviosaaa!" I don't know if you're from Hogwarts or from Martyr Riyad School! He might have spooked you after spooking the nanny She had psoriasis, and she was cured! But let me tell you that the most important symbol in Rowling's world is the train! The train was the beginning of everything in her world, the train is where she had the idea of the stories, so it had to be the link between the two worlds, the real world and the magical fantasy world. Mind you, my friend, also of one thing, that Rowling indeed, created a magical world, but its problems are not far from reality problems,
• 24:00 - 24:30 its problems are very close to the world we are living in, the only difference and what's attractive in this world is that people can control more in many things in their lives, and face their problems, not be solved with a single movement of a magic wand. Also, my friend, these problems were somehow because Rowling was influenced by things she saw in real life. From 1987 to 1990, Rowling, my friend, was working in "Amnesty International" in London, assisting in the documentation department. What was she doing? She was responsible for translating the reports that talk about violations of human rights in African
• 24:30 - 25:00 and testimonies of victims who were subjected to repression or torture. This topic, my friend, greatly affected her writing, and made her create a magical world, the password in it and the point of conflict is racism. It's true that Rowling's world is a magical, beautiful, and imaginary one, but it has racism, classism, it has Pureblood at the top, a wizard who is born from a wizard father and mother, below them are the Half-Bloods, which is one wizard and one non-wizard, and at the bottom of the classes, the commoners, or the Muggles, or as the racist describes them in the series, the Mudbloods. It's a world with villains trying to turn this difference into superiority,
• 25:00 - 25:30 so they can enslave everyone less than them to serve them. And this, my friend, also appears in the house elves, did you see what happened to Dobby? He was freed by a sock! He worshipped anyone who gave him 5 pounds. If you look at Voldemort, you'll find that his speech is a speech of a racist man. He says that those with pure blood are the greatest, and other races do not deserve to live, even though he himself was not of pure blood, doesn't this remind you, my friend, of a certain person? "A specific person? It's like half of the season, Abo Hmeed! you keep talking about people who want to purify the world and rule the humans who are not like him, you disappear for two days, and return with someone more racist than the one before!"
• 25:30 - 26:00 But who, my friend, is my favorite racist and for the whole world? Adolf Hitler! If you heard Voldemort's words, and compared them to Hitler, you would find that there are no differences between them, If you rewatched the Eugenics episode, you would find Hitler saying that the Aryan race is the supreme race, and the other races don't deserve to live, even though he himself was not Aryan! So, my friend, we are in front of a magical world, and a hero resembling our childhood, living in a place resembling ours, and the villain, as strange as he is, is contemporary, and his ideas exist in our real history, the problems of that world are very close to the problems of our world. In Rowling's world, my friend, the solution was that this generation of children growing little by little
• 26:00 - 26:30 is the one that will eliminate evil, is the one that will eliminate racism and save the world, they do not hide in fear, or rely on the adults to take action. No, they are the ones leading the adults in confronting this injustice. "Excuse me, Abo Hmeed, In my dictionary, this word is called sophistry, you keep adding some depth to a children's story, something about eugenics and racism, and then you tell me classism and empowering youth, how can we connect these rational nice ideas written on paper with sentiment and feelings? How can these things affect me? I want to be affected! Where are the feelings?"
• 26:30 - 27:00 Let me tell you, my friend, that Rowling brilliantly makes the emotions of this magical world a wonderful metaphor for her true feelings in reality. In 1980, Anne, Joanne's mother, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This is a disease that affects the immune system, and causes weakness in muscle movement, and sometimes, complete immobility. And this, my friend, is exactly what happened to Anne, the disease kept worsening year after year, until she died when she was only 45 years old. This, my friend, of course had a psychological impact on Joanne, and what increased the pain is that it was said that her father is in a relationship with his secretary.
• 27:00 - 27:30 The rumor says he was in a relationship with her when the mother was sick, so the father here, my friend, dealt with these rumors in a different way, which is to confirm them! He goes and marries the secretary one year after the wife's death. Here, Joanne escapes the sadness, she leaves England and goes to Portugal, where she meets the love of her life, Jorge Arantes, whom she indeed marries in 1992. "God, Abo Hmeed! Finally, her fairytale ending has come!" Unfortunately, my friend, impulsive, reckless, and hasty! Jorge, my friend, was a textbook example of a toxic man. "Not a problem, Abo Hmeed, I can fix him!" Fix yourself first, then, go fix other people! The man, my friend, was jealous, angry, and would hit her,
• 27:30 - 28:00 not only that, but also, he makes her pay for their living! By day, she works at a school in the morning, at night, she sits and writes, and between both, domestic violence! -"Really, Abo Hmeed?" -Yes, my friend! Also, he took her house key, and searches her bag when she enters and when she leaves! Didn't you want to fix him? Good luck finding the courage to fix anything Joanne couldn't stand it, and finally managed to escape to Edinburgh. But this toxic man went after her, he forced himself! Imagine, my friend, this is whom she was going to transcend her sadness with! He didn't leave her alone except when she filed for divorce, and signed a non-harassment agreement! Why am I telling you all this?
• 28:00 - 28:30 To tell you that Joanne when she was writing the book, and she was drowning in this magical enchanting world, in reality, things were not good at all. She entered a severe depression, and she was having suicidal thoughts all the time, but she didn't give in to those thoughts, she fought them, and resorted to therapy and her family's support. Her experience in the world of depression made her embody it in her world in the form of the most terrifying creatures in the world of Harry Potter, the guards of Azkaban, or the Dementors. "One second, Abo Hmeed, let me think of a happy memory, to say Expecto Patronum! Alright, continue!" The Dementors, my friend, are the most terrifying creatures in this world, they suck your soul and happiness, and leave your body empty,
• 28:30 - 29:00 a shell without life, you have no feelings or emotions! And this is a fate much worse than the death of the body! And this is the same fate that Joanne experienced after her mother's death, and her husband's harm to her. But, my friend, if you remember in the books or in the movies, what was the spell that fought the Dementors? Expecto Patronum. And, if you remember, what was its condition for it to work properly? That you remember a happy memory you lived. And this, my friend, was what Rowling was trying to do, she was able to face her depression and those feelings with the happy memories she lived with her daughter, her daughter who gave her a reason to live and write.
• 29:00 - 29:30 In Harry Potter, the magical recipe of the stories was used which had one problem, and that is simply that it is very cliche. Good fights evil, and good will ultimately win, But Rowling did not deal with the subject so simplistically, because she also, would reflect her life onto the characters of the novel. In Rowling's story, my friend, the people who were supposed to be good and the people who had hope, hurt her and caused her pain, the father and the husband! And vice versa, people she didn't expect support from, found them supporting her. Just like the first publisher, who published her novel. And just like in her life, my friend, she didn't know who was good and who was evil,
• 29:30 - 30:00 so this also appeared in the characters in Harry Potter. In the second part, for example, you notice, that Professor Quirrell, the good man, who stutters in his speech, is shy and polite, whom you don't see any mischief from at all. And in the end, he turns out to be carrying Voldemort on his back! Until Snape, whom you see all the time as evil, not friendly, and preparing a disaster for all of us. But in the last 5 minutes, he flips the scales of good and evil, And it turns out he is the good. Even Harry himself ended up literally having an evil part inside him, the mark left on him by Voldemort. Which was translated into the famous scar! I don't need to tell you, my friend, that if you had looked at Rowling
• 30:00 - 30:30 two or three weeks before the release of the first part, you would have seen a single mother, who hadn't achieved anything big in her life. Impossible, my friend, for you to imagine that she is the most successful writer in history. Rowling lived a very large percentage of her life as an underdog, that's why she will choose heroes to be like her, our heroes are humanitarian cases! Harry is an orphan child, powerless, weak in appearance, wearing old glasses, with a scar on his face, Every day he wakes up in the morning to the beating of his cousin! Until the letter arrives that will change his life, and tells him, "You are not just an ordinary person, you are the greatest wizard in the whole world!"
• 30:30 - 31:00 "You are the boy who lived" And during the journey of Harry Potter, even if he is the greatest wizard, and the prophecy proves that he is the child who grows up to defeat Voldemort, we also see and find that each character has a chance to be a hero at the right moment, Ron and Hermione, and more importantly, Neville, who was throughout the series the shadow of Harry, representing weakness, fear, embarrassment, and disgrace! But with the events and the development of his character, he changes, until the right moment comes, when he intervenes at the last moment, and supports the heroes, when Harry Potter dies in front of their eyes,
• 31:00 - 31:30 and he tells them that heroism is not in one person, heroism is not in Harry, heroism is in you. We are not fighting for Harry, We are fighting for the meanings, that Harry died for. A moment, my friend, that makes any reader feel that Harry is not the only hero, the hero's death is not the death of the goal, the hero's death made everyone heroes! "Oh Abo Hmeed, it's impossible! Joanne is no where near your level, you're so much better that she can quit!" Bless you, my friend, But I don't know why you are talking like this! "I'm really excited about you, Abo Hmeed!" The underdog stories, my friend, that grow and succeed, are the most important stories in many cultures.
• 31:30 - 32:00 The most important being American culture, which tells you that if anyone believes, they can achieve the American dream. When the first book was released, there was no marketing campaign. The book, my friend, did not have publicity. Until it reached American publisher Arthur Levine, he paid about 105 thousand dollars for it, as an advance for publishing the book in America, at that time, my friend, the book was still not very famous, so that number was the greatest publicity campaign that could be made for the book. People, my friend, were surprised by the number, how could a first-time author get that whole amount? So from people's surprise and their curiosity, J.K. Rowling's phone never stopped ringing, reporters were chasing her everywhere, they wanted to know the reason,
• 32:00 - 32:30 so when, my friend, they learned her life story, they understood the reason. And the truth, my friend, is if you contemplated what I narrated, you would know that the reason is her struggle story as a true underdog, the publisher invested in her true story, not necessarily in the fictional story, She is a true underdog, she is a single mother, receiving government assistance, and goes to write in a café because the cost of heating there is cheaper than the cost of heating in her room. She escaped from her husband, the toxic one who used to hit her and take her money! After she was escaping from a sad memory of her mother's death.
• 32:30 - 33:00 All the writing and the work and the action is while she has a daughter! Maybe, my friend, this is the story that made the book spread more and more. The publisher's intelligence will show after that, when they know more and more about the target audience. Harry Potter is genius, and it fits all ages, but it is hard to convince an adult that this children's book is addressing him and speaking to him too. So here, two versions will be made, a version for children and teenagers, and a version for adults. And the real intelligence, my friend, shows in the difference between them. The difference, I surprise you, is that there is no difference in the two versions, what changes is that there are two versions, the real difference is in the cover only.
• 33:00 - 33:30 So if you're an adult, you'll get the cover for adults, because if you're embarrassed to read the book in front of people in the street, you won't look like a small, trivial kid, and reading children's books in the street! Let me tell you, my friend, that the idea was a breakthrough success! To the extent that 10% of the sales of the fifth part was actually an adult version. So, we now have the ideal recipe for a successful book, Come on, focus, I will write you the ingredients in the caption, a sweet and exciting story, we will add smooth writing, we will immerse all this in a very imaginary world, but at the same time, it should be very realistic, sprinkle on them good, evil, underdog, let them spend 20 minutes in a hot advertising campaign, at a temperature of 200, boom, you have a book that can change the world!
• 33:30 - 34:00 And this, my friend, is not a metaphor, the book has actually changed the world. Harry Potter jumps off the wall of Hogwarts, and runs to our real world, to make a change in the publishing industry. Harry Potter, my friend, put a spell on publishers, because through it, the value of children's literature was rediscovered again. And before the sixth part was released, the "Waterstones" Foundation conducted a study on the impact of Harry Potter in the publishing industry in Britain. It was found that the number of children's books monthly increased 10 times since 2000, after a severe decline occurred in 1997! Sales of children's books are increasing at a rate of 2% annually,
• 34:00 - 34:30 publishers are dealing with children's authors seriously, and investment in them is being made from the standpoint who is the next J. K. Rowling? "We want a talented writer, who can sell children on books without distracting them!" We see, for example, someone like the writer Michelle Paver author of the series who received 2 million and 800 thousand pounds as an advance just for publishing the series, the start of the conversation was about 3 million pounds. [Ahmed Mourad]: 40 thousand pounds? Do you know how much I spent on the elephant alone? If I published them on a balcony, I would do more than that! According to the writer Alaa Arafa,
• 34:30 - 35:00 who won the Sawiris award for children's books 2024, Harry Potter is the greatest event that happened in children's books, and might be in the world of books in general. And this is because all the authors now have more passion, and everyone is waiting for their big hit! "Abo Hmeed, regarding the authors, I'm not a writer, Did the readers have a big change? Tell me the impact of Harry Potter on me, I am not concerned about the writers honestly. What do I care about the writers? They earn much money!" [Junior writer] According to Suzanne Keen, Chair of the English Department at Washington University, her students who read Harry Potter when they were young, were much better than her other students, and she said verbatim that reading Harry Potter makes you a better reader,
• 35:00 - 35:30 and thus, you can read Dickens. You have read over 4000 pages, 7 books, this will encourage you to read after that more things and deeper and harder things, whoever reads "The Deathly Hallows" will smoothly navigate in "The Harafish"! Also, my friend, some people say that the children whom J.K. Rowling tried to prepare to change the world, are already changing the world in innovative ways. One, my friend, of the movements that was against Trump, called itself Dumbledore's Army, they, my friend, compared Trump to Voldemort! Then J.K. Rowling wrote a tweet after joining this Dumbledore's army,
• 35:30 - 36:00 and she said the two are not alike at all, Voldemort did not reach this level of evil! That man with orange hair, we cannot defeat him with magic, only God can handle him! The goal of this group was to confront the policies of Trump" such as immigration, racism, and freedom of the press, and they likened Trump's denial of climate change to the Ministry of Magic's denial of Voldemort's return. And after Trump lost the last elections, they likened his supporters' denial and the election results to the followers of Voldemort when they denied that he was defeated. But the only difference here, my friend, is that Voldemort is not coming back! But unfortunately, my my friend, it is clear that Trump had a Horcrux in his hair, and he managed to come back! Honestly, my friend, based on the number of Executive Orders I see,
• 36:00 - 36:30 I say that this man has definitely been with us, for like 40 years! Then you look at when this man held his position, and it's just months! It's like he wakes up in the morning, grabs the globe, and starts spinning it, "I'm going to fight... here! come on now, customs definitions, come on, reduce immigration, come on, fight against drugs, Action!" Seriously, no one can imagine that he is a man in his late seventies! I wish I could see someone diligent in his work like him! Harry Potter, my friend, in the end, is not just a series of novels, nor just children's books, it has become the most successful series of books in history, with the reading rate, my friend, and the presence on TikTok,
• 36:30 - 37:00 reels, YouTube, Netflix and all those things, most likely these books will remain the most read books in history. The series that sold more than 600 million copies, and translated into more than 85 languages! The movies alone grossed 7.7 billion dollars in cinemas, Mr Walid El-Ghandour is responsible for half of them! [Waleed El-Ghandour]: It wasn't fruitful! Apart from that, my friend, Harry Potter himself has become a brand that one of the world's most important empires, Britain, takes pride in! Britain where Sherlock Holmes and Rudyard Kipling and Mowgli are, and all the other cartoon characters and the books and legends,
• 37:00 - 37:30 and Charles Dickens and Shakespeare, and all those things, Britain is the one that made Harry Potter! "Don't tell me the Origin of Species, nor the Principia of Newton, we Great Britain who made Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Part Five!" Harry Potter became a global brand making money from everything, people pay thousands of dollars to live the Hogwarts experience. Official products like wands and hats and any product with the Harry Potter logo or slogan, makes millions of dollars! Imagine, my friend, that you sell more than 400 million wands worldwide!
• 37:30 - 38:00 A very powerful advertising idea, and a great fraud project! Soon, God willing, I'm going to introduce the brooms to Egypt! Not to mention, my friend, the Harry Potter tourism, in Edinburgh and at the Warner Brothers studios, which now receives 6 million annual visitors, just to see the place where the film was shot. The greatness of Harry Potter is not that every new generation sees it for the first time, but rather the meanings of the series that will remain alive, and it will keep bringing us back to read it and watch its movies all the time. The actor Alan Rickman, who played the role of Snape, will summarize the essence of Harry Potter when he says: "If I reach the age of 80, I will still sit in a chair, and keep reading Harry Potter, even when I'm old and big.
• 38:00 - 38:30 If my family told me: After All This Time? I will tell them: Always." That's all, my friend, last but not least, don't forget to watch the old episodes and the new ones, check the sources below and subscribe if you're on YouTube. You know, my friend, that Snape once went to Harry Potter, and told him, "Your godfather is dead!" then he said: "Are you serious?" So he replied, "I'm Snape, Sirius is dead!" Then he said: "Are you Serious?" "No, kid, the other one has a beard! I am clean-shaven and into recipes, and I love your mother!" "Are you Serious?" "You are stupid then, I will not talk to you!"
