About This Quote
The quote “Be one of the crowd? It went against everything a wizard stood for, and a wizard would not stand for anything if he could sit down for it, but even sitting down, you had to stand out.” is a quote from J.K Rowling. In this quote she was describing her life as an author of Harry Potter. She is saying that she was not the typical girl who went with the flow and followed the crowds. She chose to stand out and find her own way.
This is really important because people should not follow what everyone else is doing. They should follow their hearts and do what makes them happy. For instance, if I am a student and I have a passion for writing, then I should do it as much as possible so that I can be happy in my life as a writer.
