Harry Potter was a big part of growing up for me. I was around the same age as him in the books, which I always enjoyed. I grew up with these books, and in a sense I feel I got to grow up with Harry and his friends. As I got older his story became darker, more complex, which was a great way to keep the same group of fans throughout the series- and make some new ones along the way. Then, as the movies started being released, my family and I would all go together and relive all the best and biggest moments of those books as they appeared on screen. I'm now much older than when I first read Sorcerer's Stone, but still there we all were at the midnight screening of Deathly Hallows Part 2, just as amazed and enthralled as when it first began. So, to me, Harry Potter means a great part of my childhood, along with the great times I've spent enjoying it with the people I love.
