I grew up reading the Harry Potter books, which enthralled me down to my very core. When I picked one up, I couldn't put it down. It consumed every fiber of my being. As I grew up, instead of that feeling decreasing, it only grew to become more intense and passionate. Harry Potter has given me not only 7 breathtaking books and 8 outstanding movies, but it's allowed me to experience true passion about something. And it's allowed me to share that passion with other people. The very ideas of love and friendship that are behind the books create those very things in real life. Harry Potter is much more than a fictional story with great characters; it embodies the very essence of life, pointing us to something bigger than ourselves and giving us a magical experience every step of the way.
