Harry Potter... Harry Potter means to me... There are not words for what Harry Potter means to me. Harry helped me through a stage of depression. Harry helped me through all the bullying, the hate, the enemies, and the self-loathing. Harry Potter, to me, is a second chance. A second chance at life. A second chance at living. The lessons Ms Rowling wrote about helped me mature to the point where I could successfully maintain friends. Harry has brought me closer to my friends, my family, and even strangers who would eventually become friends. Harry Potter has made my life have worth.

Harry has given me more than any other work of (accepted) fiction has given or could hope to give. Harry Potter is a blessing on my life. Harry Potter is my life. I owe my life to Harry Potter.

Thank you Ms Rowling, you have changed me for the better in every possible way.
