Harry Potter means so much to me because of how real it was. Even though I'm nearly 20, I still find myself constantly in thought over the magical world that JK Rowling has created. While reading, I'm able to see exactly what JKR was picturing when she wrote about how Diagon Alley looked, and I have cried when my favorite characters were hurt or cried, because it is all so real. For that, I am so grateful for JKR, and constantly remind myself of her words of wisdom, "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."
