Harry Potter means everything to me. I first read Harry Potter about 7 years ago and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. Not only has it filled my life with joy and magic, but it has taught me so much. This series has taught me about bravery, loyalty, friendship, love, faith, guidance, morality, and has given me the strength to pursue any of my dreams. I've always loved reading and writing, but the Harry Potter series has shown me that I can take any idea, no matter how unimaginable or unrealistic, and make it into something real. Harry Potter has touched so many lives, it's even helped an actress from the movie overcome an eating disorder. It has shown me that originality or anything that makes you different is something to be proud of. I am a stronger, better person because of these books and movies. They have helped me to be confident and happy with who I am. In the past, I suffered from depression and I can honestly say that Harry Potter has had a role in helping me find the kind who I really am and become a happier, more spirited person and has helped me appreciate and cherish life. Harry Potter brings out the magic and the 11 year old in all of us. It has helped me to become wise and fearless, it has shown me that anything is possible. J.K. Rowling has created a world that made mine so much better.
