Harry Potter is simply amazing and means a great deal to me and my family. In a family of 8 where each of us are very different, Harry Potter is one of the very few things that have brought us together. My mom is now known as "muggle" at work and constantly refers everything to Harry Potter. But, one of the greatest things about the books is the fact that it has connected people of all ages. It allows people to see how magical (and heartbreaking) childhood can be, and surely has brought back memories for me and many other readers. And somehow, even though I know that it is fiction, Harry Potter allows me to put my life into perspective and realize that even if something sucks, Harry had it much worse.
