Just like everyone else, Harry Potter is my childhood. It's an era in which I'm proud to have grown up in. I still remember the very first time I came into contact with my first Harry Potter book. It had just come out and I decided it would be my first "big kid's" book with no pictures. It was because of JK Rowling's series that I decided to become an English teacher just in the fourth grade. It's the reason why I was teased in the 5th grade for dressing up as Hermione. It was with me when I couldn't resist the urge to write it in my SAT essays. It was because of this series that I am now an English major in college. This series has truly been with me from the beginning and I feel honored to be part of the generation that was able to witness it from start to finish. To me, Harry Potter is the one place I can sink my imagination into when reality fails me. Harry Potter is inside of everyone and it touches my heart when we can all come together as we share the same love. Harry Potter is my mentor because it has taught me numerous lessons as i grew up. So, even though Harry Potter has (dare I say it) come to an end, it will still live on even after decades.
