Harry and Good Vision

When I was a kid, I was told I needed to wear glasses.  I was pretty 
upset by this, as my mother would only buy me these big old plastic 
frames that were very unfashionable.  I got picked on enough as a 
child, so I just never wore them and now my vision, while it is still 
correctable to 20/20 in both eyes, really sucks.

I wonder if kids these days have to worry about the image of being a 
geek for wearing glasses.  When I had to get mine, I didn't have a 
cool role model, fictional or otherwise, that wore glasses that I 
could say, hey I'm cool like <insert name here>.

Kids forced to get glasses today could say, "Hey, my glasses look 
like Harry Potter's."  

If look at the big picture ... I think Harry is helping us in ways we 
never really even think about.  By being a cool kid with glasses, he 
is helping the vision of the younger generations.

Or it could just be me :)
