I have grown up with the Harry Potter characters, the books came out when I was in middle school, and I am in my 20's now. I feel like I've really gotten to know the characters; they've become my friends, my enemies, my mentors, my family. I've laughed with them, cried with them, mourned with them, celebrated with them. When the series ended I felt like I'd lost my friends. We could no longer go on exciting adventures together, no longer lean on each other for support during the hard times. I don't get to grow into adulthood with these friends. We've gone our separate ways after school, to live our own lives, but we'll always have the memories. The good, the bad and everything in between. Thanks for being my friends through the years.
