My Harry adventure started in the 3rd grade when I read my borrowed copy of The Sorcerer's Stone under my covers with a flashlight because my mother didn't approve of wizards or witches. Eleven years later, I have read the entire series 5 times through collectively and no telling how many times on their own. My Order of the Phoenix has no binding and you can take sections of the book out completely and read them alone. In highschool my best friend and I would argue over which characters we would be (I'm clearly Ginny) and the true sexual orientation of Dumbledore. Between cheering games I would have my nose in an HP book in the bleachers. Harry Potter to me has always been a way to show my true and beautifully nerdy colors, to escape what everyone expected of me and not be ashamed to be an intelligent and multifaceted girl instead of a single layered pretty face. Harry Potter is about accepting each other as we are, and most importantly, to love one another unconditionally. Love conquers all.
