I've always been a fan of fantasy, Lord of the Rings and its ilk, but Harry Potter has always had a stronger connections between myself and those of my age group. I grew up with Harry potter, Reading Philosophers Stone during my early school years and devouring each and every book that came out since my first. Now that I've grown and look back at how it was, It was a story full of young hopes and dreams. I mean what lover of fantasy doesn't entertain the thought of finding them self in a fantastical world and the story of Harry Potter just happens to give that opening. Its the story of of a complete mundane child simply receiving a letter that changes their life forever. It creates that plausibility that escapists like me loves.
