What does Harry Potter mean to me? I grew up with the series and it has helped me through so much. Without HP, I think I would be just another boring angsty teenager, so I'm am forever grateful to JK and this fandom. As the characters grew up, I did so with them. When I was just 3, I watched the first movie. I was only 3, but it made such an impact on my life. I actually remember saying to my mom, "I witch! I use magic!" When I was in first grade iI started reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Jim Dale was the voice of my car trips. If Harry Potter were to be removed from my life, I think it would lack in excitement, happiness, imagination, and the whole basis of my childhood! I have loved it since I was little, and I hope I'll still re-read them when I'm 70 to my grandchildren! It is a magical world I can get lost inside, and follow the adventures of Harry and the others as they grow up...There's something very special withtin the pages of the book. Harry Potter will forever be on mind! I've grown to love each character, spell, and detail of Harry Potter.
