To Me Harry Potter means Hope. As a student Harry Potter has given me the hope that even the most dimwitted pupil can strive and work hard in order to succeed. Sometimes it even makes me believe that maybe one day even i can get lucky and recieve a magical chemistry book from my very own "Half Blood Prince".

As a child stuck inside of am 18 yr old's body it has given me the hope that i will be able to stay young forever. It has given me that hope that one day i may even end up like the playful old dumbledore who tackles adventure and challenges even until the day he dies.

As a person it has given me the hope that one day love and righteousness will prevail, and the hope that in the face of adversity even the most meek of us will rise to the occasion and do what is admirable in order to defeat that which stands in our way.

As someone in love it has given me the hope that one day even a baffoon like myself may end up in the arms of my incredibly smart best friend.

But most importantly Harry Potter has made me have hope in Magic. The Hope that life will go on. In my darkest hours when i would sit alone in my room with a knfe in one hand, and a handful of pills in the other, Harry Potter has meant the Hope of Life. It is because of J.K. Rowling that i am alive today, and for that I say Thank You.
