The Harry Potter series for me has always been first and foremost an escape. The intricate, exciting, and limitless world that J.K. Rowling has created has been a never-ending source of entertainment, creativity, and imagination. The books were better than I could've ever imagined. I was addicted to the series, stopping my life for days upon a new book's arrival so that I may submerse myself into its pages once again. As the 7th book finally arrived, I felt the same sense of loss that I am beginning to feel now about the 7th movie - what can I possibly get my hands on next? That's what's great about the Harry Potter series though; it is never over. With the dedication of so many fans, there will always be more to enjoy. What makes life interesting is finding something in which you are passionately interested. Harry Potter has done that for me. I've spent countless hours reading the books, watching the movies, reading interesting facts and details, watching behind-the-scenes, etc. It has given me an outlet to escape from reality and challenge my imagination, which is not a frequent occurrence. I am amazed at the amount of care J.K. Rowling has taken to create a world where so many little details fit. The Harry Potter series has become a hobby that I treasure just as much, or perhaps more, than any other activity in my life!
