To me the world of Harry Potter for me is a gift. The stories by J.K Rowling lifted me up when I was down and alone. I had some tough times when I just started high school but the tales of Harry, Ron and Hermione helped me through those times to find friends worth having. Through these books my needs for fantasy and beautiful imagination were satisfied. When I first met my girlfriend the first thing that we talked deeply about was Harry Potter, she was surprised to find someone who enjoyed them as much as she did, if it weren't for these magical stories we would not be together today. From reading the first chapter of Philosopher's Stone when I was in primary school, to the last of the end credits of Deathly Hallows Part 2 about to finish year 12 and start university, Harry Potter has helped me grow and no doubt still will in the future.
