To my, Harry Potter is a lot more than book. It has been my entire childhood, no kidding....and by this i mean, when i'm 13, harry potter movies will no longer be there for me. It was literally my entire childhood. Harry Potter shaped me to become the young aduilt i am today. He taught me to be not only humble, but brave, compassionate, dedicated, and so many more things. Before i could even read, my mother started reading the harry potter books to me. The first book i ever *tried* to read was in first grade, and guess what? It was Harry Potter. Because he already meant a lot to me. I didn't have nursery rhymes. I had Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley's fighting, i had Voldemort and Harry. I had no "peter pipper" or three little pigs. It was harry potter from the day i was ONE years old. And since i skipped the picture book stages and such to read Harry potter as soon as i could read, i am now in Gifted and Talented Education reading & writing. My lexile score is post-college graduate. Who can i thank for this? J. K. Rowling and her imagination. Her originality and superb plot and character developement. Every single part of the harry potter franchise captured my heart....her ideas were stellar and very well executed. Harry Potter was there when i figured out what i wanted to do with my life, when i had my first crush, wheni went to my first dance. When i went to sixth grade, graduated elementary school, fought with my friends. He was there! He helped me through everything. If i have a problem, i think, "What would Harry potter do?" And then BAM, it is all good again. What does it mean for me not to be able to look forward to another movie, not be able to see Neville Longbottom with his plants or Hermione being witty...not to be able to see them at Hogwarts anymore....well, it turns my heart to ash. I love harry potter. What Harry potter means to me....that's too complicated, too big to be described through words. I couldn't possibly find enough adjetives, nouns, adverbs or verbs for how much he is a part of my life.
