Harry Potter means so much more to me than and interesting book/movie. It means everything. I grew up reading and watching Harry Potter. I turn 17 the day after Part 2 is released. My childhood really is coming to an end. Having the Golden Trio right by my side all those years made the biggest impact on my life. Harry Potter has built who I am and taught me many things. Hermione taught me that it is okay to be smart. Harry taught me to be brave and to have something worth living/fighting for. Dobby taught me to stand up for and protect the ones I love, no matter what the consequences can be. Fred and George taught me that a good laugh is always needed. Ron taught me to always be loyal to your best friends, no matter what. Snape taught me that even though someone may seem evil, their intentions can be good. Voldemort taught me power should not be abused. Luna taught me that it is okay to be different. Harry Potter taught me to live. J.K. Rowling gave me a magical childhood and taught me to follow my dreams. I firmly believe in magic because of J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter is has always given me something to look forward to, whether it was a new book, movie, or theme park. I have learned more through Harry Potter than anyone could have taught me. Harry Potter is all I've ever known. I truly don't know where I would be today without it. For me, the magic will never die.
