Harry Potter means Connection. Connection to the fictional characters in each story, to the Author who created each character (as if creating them just for you), Meeting someone and finding out they are a Potter fan as well and immediately connecting to each other. Growing up with the books for so many years and opening me up as a young reader to a magical world I could escape to, has meant more to me than anyone can imagine. Now at 29 years old, I find myself reading the series once a year. I am in love with the movies as well. My son is 4 and we watch the movies together all the time. I am looking forward to when reading picture books to him are over and I can read a chapter of Harry Potter every night to my son before bed. That will mean the MOST to me. I thank EVERYONE involved in Harry Potter, from Rowling and her editors and publishers all the way to everyone involved in creating the magical world on the Big Screen! I feel a bit of despair knowing the ride is over but hopeful that a new generation can enjoy every bit of it as I did...
