Harry Potter for me is a constant reminder that although life can be corrupted and full of evil it is also full of goodness. These books have been a huge part of my childhood and has taught me more then a classroom or anything on tv could ever teach me. It taught me to stand up for what i believe in and to trust and value those people who have an impact on my life. I have read each book countless times and have learned something new about the world, those around me, and myself. I have learned so much especially from each of the characters. Neville is definitely one of my favorite characters because he reminds me alot like myself. he is by no means the msot talented, but he is the hardest working and in the end he plays a paramount role in destroying the pure evil that is Voldemort. This gave me alot of confidence in the fact that hardwork goes a very long way. I will take lessons like this with me throughout my life and i intend on passing the books onto my children with the hope that they too will learn as much as i did. Harry Potter to me is a representaion of everything important in life, which is our ability to love and to stand up for the injustices that surround us because doing nothing is just as bad as doing the crimes themselves. Whenever I feel like I am forgetting this, I know all I need to do is sit down and open a Harry Potter book.
