Like many others, I have grown up with Harry Potter. I was 11 when the first movie came out and I will be 21 this September as the movies come to an end. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, the Twins, and even Draco, although fictional, are very real to me; as if they were my own close knit group of friends. When my family was going through some rough times and I felt like I could not confide in anyone, I turned to the books as my outlet for anger, pain, and the need to feel. Jo's story of love, friendship, discrimination, loss, and many more lessons, have helped me see the light on life and to realize that true courage comes through pushing through the roughest of times.
