The Harry Potter series is undoubtedly one of the biggest franchises that Hollywood has witnessed in the past three decades. The first Harry Potter movie was released in 2001 and after roughly 10 years, the series was wrapped up. The franchise sparked interest in magic among the youth, and the movies shaped the childhood of many kids, for example, superstar Zendaya.
Zendaya once revealed that she is obsessed with the Harry Potter movies. She explained that it is like meditation to her as it helps her calm herself down. The obsession is actually on another level, all her friends must watch the movie if they visit her house.
Zendaya is a huge Harry Potter fan
Back in 2019, actress Zendaya appeared in an interview with InStyle. During the interview, she revealed that she is obsessed with the Harry Potter movies. She is such a huge fan that she watches the movies daily. She said,
“Everyone has their own thing, like a form of meditation or whatever. Me, I find it very hard to just sit there and clear my brain. People say I’m crazy, but I watch Harry Potter, like, once a day. It’s just calming to me, so that’s my thing. People are like, ‘Oh my god, Harry Potter again?’ I say, ‘Don’t come over to my house if you don’t want to watch it, because it’s going to be on.'”
Any movie from the series is like a comfort movie for her, so she also prefers to watch it whenever her friends visit her.
