To me Harry Potter means faith, having belief in what you cannot prove. I am not sure when I started reading the books,because I was so young, but my mom said I was glued on to them. Apparently I use to always shout random spells at people, jump on brooms to see if they would fly, and sometimes hiss in conversations,as if I could speak Parseltongue. I remember when I was maybe 7 or 8 going to Toys 'R' Us and seeing the Harry Potter Brooms for sale. No matter how much I begged my mom she wouldn't get it for me because "I wouldn't use it", but I said I would play Quidditch with it,so of course I would use it, but I still never received my broom. As I grew I have collected many Harry Potter things like puzzles, robes, and action figures. I read every book like it was the last, always hoping Harry would make it threw, hurting the least amount of people possible. For every movie I have always had a countdown,because I always wanted to see the midnight premier, or at lest see it on the first day. Right before seeing the final movie, my friend reminded me when I called her about the release date of the last movie hysterical. From Harry Potter I have learned more importantly you can get through anything, though times may be hard, your time will come,and you will flourish. I have learned to always value family,and how they can help you through the hardest of time whether alive or dead. I have learned that best friends really can last forever,and be there for you no matter what. I have learned that even the scariest looking people can have the kindest hearts,like Snape. I have learned that it is always okay to ask for help from those closest, cause that's what they are there for. I have learned the best people are the ones that do not care for your race-or blood for that matter, like Ron, Harry, and Hermione. I have learned from Harry especially, that no matter what anyone says, or a prophecy, that I can be who I want, and nothing will stop me. One of the most valuable things I have learned from Harry Potter is that you must be self reliant, and must learn how to handle yourself in order to to get where you want. I know that I would be a true slytherin at heart, a good one like Snape. Muggles do not understand magic,and what it can do. Magic is adventure and wonder, which many in the world have lost. Anyone reading or watching Harry Potter believes in the unknown, what you can't see, that is the fuel behind magic,what makes it special.

Thanks for the childhood. x
