Harry Potter Power is a practically psychological book which is written by an psychologist Dr.Julie -Anne Hickory  This book takes the famous stories series Harry Potter as the background and combine with the theory and strategy of psychology to help younger s to overcome the bad emotions such as anxiety, anger, depression and sadness. The book is an interesting innovation of the Harry Potter series, with many useful suggestions for teenagers, including relevant experimental feedback materials and activities. The book is practical, thought-provoking and closely related to the real world. It’s an ideal tool to help young people recover their mental health and self-esteem.

In nowadays, with the rapid development of society and the acceleration of life rhythm, a lot of people may have psychological problems because of the pressures of life, where mental health plays a more important way in our lives and it’s necessary to play more attention to psychological construction especially for us college students, who are in the key point of life to shape their character. Dr.Hickory has known the way how to guide young man to achieve their original dream of the heart and be confident and independence through this book. By using the stories from the dramatic magic book Harry Potter, which is bound to add persuasiveness to her suggestions, she can persuade people smartly and let them regain self-esteem. The context of the book consist of six parts including The Power of Tragedy ,The Power of Nature ,The Power of Thoughts,  The Power of Action, The Power of Animals, The Power of Nature and The Greatest Power. Actually, the first five chapters clearly elaborate five elements which bring people courage and encouragement while the last one makes a deeper conclusion on the characteristics of the greatest power which is stronger than death, and deeper than mystery so that you can solve the difficulties and enjoy your life happily. In this book ,though Harry has a rough life ,he love everything with him because he believes love can give people energy to beat the devils as well as it’s very cool to free your inner hero.

As far as I’m concerned, Dr.Hickory uses the Harry Potter’ stories so that younger can easily recognize the Depression, Anxiety, Anger and swing into action with some serious dispelling, which is an efficient way to deal with these kind of mental problems. As Harry have superpower, we all have our inner superpower to deal with the problems. Like Micheal Jordan, a famous basketball player in the world, he was much shorter than his classmates in the middle school and a little inferiority. However he stuck on playing basketball and had a complete training system hold on everyday. Later, we all know that he became the best player and his influence has changed the generations ,encouraging them to solve problems positively. Although this book may be viewed as chicken soup sometimes , it does make a difference on my opinions and actions .When I am in low mood ,I can think of the strategies to solve the problems, which can tell me I can do it. So it’s time to enjoy your life.
