I'm an "old" HP fan—was already in my 20s when I read the first book. So I can't say that I was waiting for my Hogwarts letter when I was 11, and I have no stories to tell about my parents reading me the books. Still, HP has opened a world to me—not only a world that is magical, but a world in which the pure-hearted, the brave, the innocence live on and triumph over prejudice and evil, in which the hero doesn't need to cool mobiles or beautiful girls or loud costumes and shiny tricks to define him, in which his reward is a family, is love that you and I all have and take for granted. JK Rowling's world is fascinating because the magical world under her pen is just like us Muggles; but it is hopeful because we Muggles are, too, not so different from the wizards in her imagination, and we have all fallen in love with her tale of a boy wizard who began his journey with little but a lightning scar under a head of dark, messy hair :).
