Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was the first "big kid book" I had read entirely by myself. It opened up a whole new world to me, both literally and figuratively. This book provided me with an escape from my life, a life that was way too chaotic and comprehensible for a young child. Aside from providing me with a new world to escape to, this series taught me the importance of loyalty, friends, family, and especially, love. From the perfectly normal Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, to "All was well." , this series has provided me with happiness, tears, and an unbreakable bond with those who I've shared the series with. To me, Harry Potter means something deeper than words could ever describe.
