Harry Potter is friendship. Simple as that. Harry Potter taught a generation how to stick together, how to fight for each other, how to love unconditionally. The main message of the series is sometimes lost in all of the magic and fantasy. Lives are risked and lost to protect others, and Harry himself is only "the boy who lived" because the love of his mother protected him. The bonds created in the books and the movies have inspired us to make bonds amongst ourselves, making our generation Dumbledore's Army. We've learned so much from Harry Potter, but in my opinion, it's most defining trait is what it has taught us about being a friend. Harry Potter taught us how to love. Not only others, but also ourselves. Like Harry said in Order of the Phoenix, "Working hard is important, but there's something else that's even more important: believing in yourself." If they could do it, why not us =). Harry Potter is and will always be an anthem of friendship, loyalty, and love, and the magic will never end. ϟ
