To me, Harry Potter is a source of inspiration and a way to branch into other interests and friends. This series is the primary reason why I am interested in magic and other forms of fantasy. It has made me want to be a writer myself and has given me ideas should I ever truly become one. The Harry Potter series has brought me to be a lover of books or any kind of reading. I have branched out into many other books and series of books, enjoying them as much as I have Harry Potter. And it is all thanks to this series of magic. Harry Potter has introduced me to people and made me closer with friends I already had. It has been a bit of a force within my social life. While the Harry Potter hasn't necessarily changed my life, it has been an influence in my personal interests and experiences, which are, of course, very important to me.
