Harry Potter has been my whole childhood. I'm twenty years old and just saw the last movie. I grew up with the books and movies and I remember being younger and going, "When am I going to get my letter to Hogwarts?!" and being so upset when I turned eleven I pretty much stayed up with some of my friends who were sleeping over. We really thought that an owl was going to come crashing into my window with my letter. I've always wanted the wand from Ollivander's, the owl, robes, and having some wizard friends would be pretty rad. Watching the characters develop throughout the books and movie was interesting as when the movies started, I was their age and was going through the same things they were. To say this series meant the world to me would be an understatement. It is going to be a series that I will be sure to share with my children one day. It's taught me about overcoming adversities, taking on things that you're afraid of, and that even the boy who lived his life locked under the stairs can be a hero.
