What Harry Potter is to me... well I am going to sum up the entire series? It all started when Harry was one years old and Voldemort attacked his home. Lily jumped in to protect Harry after James was dead. Hagrid came and took Harry away while riding a flying motorcycle he got from Sirius. He appears after Dumbledore and McGonagall are done talking and Hagrid gave Albus,Harry. Ten years later on Dudley's birthday things become strange. When they went to the zoo they tryed to get a python to move. They couldn't so Dudley and Vernon moved on. Harry then started talking to the snake which Dudley saw Harry and ran over shoving Harry over. Harry got mad and the glass disappeared causing Dudley to fall in. When that happened I laughed histerically. Vernon asked how it happened and Harry said," I don't know. One minute the glass was there the next it was gone. It was just like magic." That began it all, after that letters from Hogwarts kept coming and Vernon got angry. It ended when they went to a shack in the middle of sea. Hagrid came and saved him, thus taking him to London. They stopped at Gringotts and and went shopping. Later Harry got in the train and met Ronald Weasley. Together with Hermione they later fought a troll and got away from a three-headed dog named Fluffy. They later after that went down the trap door and Harry fought Professor Quirell. Harry defeated him and the school year came to a close. Year two was a better experience. This was one of my favorite moviesof all seven. Harry returns in an odd way, he was saved by the three famous Weasleys, Fred, George and Ron, in a flying car! Returning to the Burrow was funny cause they were chewed out by Mrs. Molly Weasley. They ate breakfast and Arthur Weasley returned home. They headed to Diagon Alley and Harry ended up in Knockturn Alley and waas saved by Hagrid again. Then he was returned to the Weasleys by Hermione and he got free books. Fastforward to Hogwarts after Harry and Ron almost get expelled. First Quidditch match and Harry is attacked brutally by a Bludger. Lockheart tryed to heal his arm but failed miserabley. Then later Conner Crevley was paralyzed. The attacks kept happening until the final Quidditch match when Hermione was attacked. This I cryed at. Harry then figures it all out and saves Ginny. Year three there is a knew teacher and Harry's godfather escaped from Azkaban. The dementors followed him to Hogwarts and they occasionally attack Harry. Finally they follow threw and save both Sirius and Buckbeck. Remus resigned and the story continues. Year four cedric dies and year five sirius dies. Voldemort returned. Year six Dumbledore died. Year seven Remus, Dobby, Tonks, Fred, Lavender, Cho's friend, and Severus died. I cryed when Severus died. He was a innocent man.

Harry Potter was a real world to me. I could pick up the book and become part of the story itself. Ifelt the pains of Harry and the others, the fear, the agony. For me Harry Potter was a way to ecsape the terrible world around us. To me Hogwarts was my home. I followed Harry and memorized everything he did. To defeating a Basilisk and almost dying and defeating Voldemort every single year. Harry I felt your pain when Sirius was killed, when you witnessed Albus's death. You've witnessed death and lived threw it all. To me Harry Potter is my hero.
