What does Harry Potter mean to you? Harry Potter is an alternative in my life. It shows the meaning of friendship and not giving up. Never give up on friends because that is what will get you though. Just like Ron, Harry and Hermione. They were always their for each other no matter how hard things got. The worked together, they fought together and their courage and skills made them win together. Its been so amazing watching all the characters growing up through the whole series. And reading the books was just like watching it in my head. It also gave me something to talk about to my friends when we could never think of something else to talk about. It has been so amazing for me to grow up with the characters as the stories went on and the things were getting harder and harder for everyone at Hogwarts. To me Harry Potter is also a way to escape what really happens in life for even just a small time. But no matter how long the escape from what goes on, it feels like just enough time to be able to gather feelings and straighten out thoughts. It clears away all that has happend and helps me start a clean board to work with. And what really touched my heart is when my autistic brother came up to me and told me, "I think I am a Harry Potter fan now." It was touching to hear him say that. And we both enjoy spending time together to watch the movies. That is what Harry Potter means to me.
