Harry Potter was not only a series... it was an era. Harry Potter introduced so many young people to reading, myself included. When the first book came out, my mother randomly purchased the book and read it and then asked me if I would like to read it. I had read many books, but this was the first time I had ventured into a book that was as dense as this. Harry Potter was an escape, Hogwarts was my 2nd home. The time between books was a time that I did not appreciate, much like Harry felt. Now I am 19 years old and still to this day I walk around with my wand and put it at random things in hopes that maybe my magical powers have just been repressed throughout the years and they just need the final push in order for me to get full use of them.
