Harry Potter started as a way to pass the time in the car while on a family vacation when I was 15. They were my sister's books and I was already finished with the ones I had packed. Over the past decade Harry Potter has become a way for me to reconnect with reading in a way I never have before. It made me want to read the different authors who I feel inspired JKR. It has made me want to study literature and classical Greek mythology. Harry Potter to me is an inspiration for what a normal woman can do when she allows her imagination to take hold and lead her to strange, new places. It has inspired me to try my hand at writing fiction and I have written over 200,000 words since I completed the series in 2007. Thank you Jo!
