The masterful narrative teaches us that everyone, whatever their status, is equally precious and can achieve glory.

This captivating thought inspired Attraverso Harry Potter, a work created in a trance-like,
passionate state by the painter Alessandro Serra. It is an incredibly ontological piece,
with something enchanted in the world made visible in the painting. This platonic artwork
comes alive in a dialogue with those who contemplate it.

It is as if all of us, Harry included, were thinking, “My ego wants to focus on the sensation
that there is a reason that my unique and never-to-be-repeated persona exists, and that
there are things to which I must dedicate myself (beyond the mundane). I have the feeling
that the world somehow wants me to exist”.

There is something in each of us that induces us to be a certain way, to make certain
choices, and to take certain paths… this is our Daimon, which each of us receives as a
companion before birth, an enigmatic mystery with myriad names: ‘vocation’, ‘calling’,
‘nature’ or ‘character’, which is the key to deciphering the cryptic language that is the
‘soul’s code’.

Every human being has their own heavens and hells. The otherworldly, magical and
parallel universe is, paradoxically, the only thing that gives meaning to life on Earth.
Everyone looks back on their life, recalling their actions at different stages, the actions (or
sometimes a single, momentary action) that decided their fate. These actions are woven
into the poetics of the magical author J.K. Rowling, allowing every reader to recognise
their own action and ascertain its value.

Harry Potter saw the full extent of his own evil, and he purified himself, realising that when
people search for good of their own free will, it always triumphs. It becomes a desire to see
the source of the love in our heart that chased away the evil, and we want to know if it will
be there forever, and if it is relevant to us and our life.

Perhaps young people in our tragic age can find an answer here to their questions on
lifestyle choices. Perhaps the moral of the story, with its great message so close to
mankind and yet so deeply immersed in the divine, can still offer us a flicker of hope, if we
can make the right decisions in complete freedom.
