I cant even explain the wonders and the emotions and the way These books have saved my life and guided me. You see as a foster kid at a young age me and my sister were whisked away from our parents in a brutal "police raid years and years ago" this all happend somewhere in seattle. After being placed in foster care all over the united states from family to family and eventually LOSING my sister to some other family who didn't want me, I didn't feel any normality in my life. I didn't know who my family was until i read harry potter. You see no matter where i went i could find a escape to a magical world where really i thought only i knew about. and i would put my self in the books. My first encounter wit a teacher was Professor Minerva McGonagall and i KNEW she was the cat in the first chapter. and she became a motherly like figure to me. The years went by and my life changed for the better as did harrys seeing as he overcame his battles inside and out. Learning to deal with pressure and eyes upon him at all times. I felt like we were sharing our lives kinda. Harry potter is the one thing i can say i would love to erase my meories of the story.....just so i can read it again and be amazed and feel that magic THREE times as stronger as before.
