What does Harry Potter mean to me? Harry Potter was my complete getaway from the troubles of reality. My past wasn't all that pleasant, and I was labeled a freak among others my age. I was a loner kid in school and I felt really different from everyone else. Harry was someone to relate to and could relate to me. Harry was a loner kid, not wanting to be, and I was the same. His adventures felt like my adventures. I could imagine myself in those situations. when I thought about what I would've have done it turned out that was what Harry did.I could feel the excitement of learning magic and flying for the first time, I could feel the fear when faced with Voldemort, death eaters, dementors, and dragons, and I could feel the pain of a searing scar, loss of friends and family,and the injuries of battles. Most importantly the joy of making friends similar to you and except you for who you are. Harry Potter inspired me. My dreams became reality through him. I could only dream about going to a school like that and it was close enough that I could feel I was through Harry's stories. We have so much in common. we think on the same wavelength. I would do anything to protect others even if it mean going it alone. Also, the feeling that I have to do things alone when I don't, is something we share. It's a little difficult to explain only because there's so much, but to put simply Harry Potter means to me that there's a place for me to be excepted and appreciated with all of my abilities for who I am and believe that the impossible can turn into possibilities.
