"What does Harry Potter mean to you?" Harry Potter, to me, means acceptance. The wizarding world is different than what we perceive to be "normal," and there are a lot of people that shun everything that does not fit into that category. The Harry Potter universe is full of bad seeds as well as good, but above all else, there is love and acceptance there. Harry was welcomed as another part of the Weasley family immediately, without hesitation, when Harry had never known a real family. As a child, I yearned for this love and support, too, and although I did not have it in real life, I could find it within the pages of these books. Hogwarts was like coming home, and Harry was one of many friends. The end of this series is equivalent to losing a life long friend.
