Q- What does Harry Potter mean to me?

A- Harry Potter means the world to me. It has become such a great deal in my life. I remember at such a young age seeing the movie, and then suddenly falling in love. I suddenly wanted to live in this magical world, which was Hogwarts. I wanted to be a wizard, I wanted to have Hagrid to come to my door and tell me that I was a wizard. I would go around with a stick and cast spells on everyone at my house. Everyone in my house new me and a little Harry Potter. I've seen every movie in the theaters, and a few years later after the first movie came out, I read the books. The books were brilliant! They were so well written, so detailed, and I couldn't put the books down. I started to have a lot of family drama, and whenever I felt down, I'd watch a Harry Potter movie. It was an escape from the real world for me. I'd watch the movies and put myself in the characters shoes, feeling like I understood the life of being a Hogwarts student. I became to attached to Harry Potter. Not to mention, I met my best friend because of Harry Potter. She saw I had one of the Harry Potter books, and came up to me and we became friends just because of Harry Potter. It brought me friendship, an escape, and a different divine world that I put myself in. I never cared if people thought I was a nerd for practically being obsessed with it, but I gladly told everyone that it's okay for me to love this. It inspired me to do so much. After I read these books, I fell in love with writing. Writing is honestly my passion, and this beautiful creation had put so much more inspiration into my writing. Harry potter has made such a big impact in my life. Honestly, this world of Harry Potter has gave me everything I could ever wish for, except for not actually being a wizard! And with this era suddenly ending, I don't know what I'm going to be looking forward to anymore. When I have children, I will make sure I introduce them to Harry Potter and this magical world, and I hope they feel the same way I do. 10 years, 8 films, and 7 books of an era that has effected me in every way possible. Harry Potter at this point, means everything to me.
