Q: What Harry Potter Means to Me?

A: Harry Potter taught me to live as an adult in an unforgiving world. It shows the importance of good relationships and trust through fantastic storytelling by J.K. Rowling. I feel as though I have actually lived through the experiences detailed in the books and movies with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. What I am trying to say is that Harry Potter has allowed me to experience many new and exciting things through reading the books.

Harry Potter has also taught me to do the right thing whether they are friend or foe, because the right thing is never the easiest thing. Even though the series started out as a means of survival for Harry, it has turned to watch Harry and his friends mature through each book/movie and turn into an amazing young man. He comes to realize that he has to accomplish a emotionally and physical grueling task of destroying the horcruxes, given to him as a task by Dumbledore before he died, even if it means to die in order to destroy the one that resides in him. He proved himself on being a savior to those who needed it the most and to those who didn't. Which makes him a truely amazing young man and someone I like to admire for the work he has done for the helping the future generation to understand that it's okay to be friends with others in all of the Hogwarts houses.

For me, Harry Potter represents a journey from childhood to adulthood.
