Harry Potter defines my childhood. It taught me more life lessons than I could dream of. Lessons about friendship, love, death and conquering goals that can be accomplished if you are truely determined. Harry brought me tears and laughter throughout the thirteen years since it was published. Characters like Snape show teach to not judge a book by it's cover because although he seemed traitor, he was the bravest man in the series. J.K. Rowling created a world where us muggles could escape from reality and lose ourselves in the wizarding world. To me, it's more than a franchise of novels and films, it's memories that will always hold a special place in my heart.
