Wonders of the World

watching the Harry Potter movie series, I've decided to live a life, or even a couple lives if there is a need to complete my full exploration of the world. It's really been likeable so far, and I could experience the whole world while reading the books too! But I do truly wonder whether or not I should live multiple lives there. Another thing is, I wonder whether or not I should become Harry Potter or become a side character and become part of the lore as a wizard more powerful than Merlin…
