To fans of the series, there is no denying that Harry Potter is about more than the boy wizard and his two best friends. Friendship, bravery, and love are just a few of the central emotions and themes that run through the books and movies.
To celebrate the final film being released, Total Film has put together a list of what they believe to be the top 50 things that they learned from Harry Potter.
The list runs from the obvious (love, common sense, & confidence) to the hilarious (school sucks and beware of the troll!) and can be viewed here in it's entirety.
What have YOU learned from Harry Potter? Is there anything that you would add to the list?
