Harry Potter is an absolutely entrancing series. By reading those books you enter an entirely different world than your own where basically anything is a possibility. Harry Potter broadens the imagination and tantalizes the senses, pulling every fiber of your being into the book its self. You become Harry, fighting the basilisk. You hear the dementor's rattling breath. You cry the same tears of anger and sorrow that Harry cries. You watch as Dumbledore is thrown backward off the tower by the force of Snape's curse. You defeat he-who-must-not-be-named. This is what Harry Potter is, what it means to so many; to me. It is a world we all long to be a part of because of how real it has become in the hours spent pouring over the books, even into the wee hours of the morning. The epic battle between the light and dark forces in this book has become our own battle, even outside of the books as we struggle against hatred and discrimination, protecting the "mudbloods" of this world. Harry Potter is inspiring, beautifully written, and known world wide. If any one book has had a chance to change the world, it is this one.
