Ever since I was a little kid, four years old I've always loved Harry Potter. But especially when I was  eleven, and I read a story like this ( i didn't have the patience when i was younger), it’s amazing and it’s everything I could ever wish my life to be. I grew up with the series and it has helped me through so much. I remember playing with my sister and pretending to be wizards. For some odd reason I would always end up saying Malfoy's name wrong, no matter how many times my mom would spell it out for me.The Harry Potter novels were beautifully written. They definitely consumed a portion of my teenage years. I believe he teaches moral value, integrity, valuable friendships, and that using your imagination is wonderful! Every year I found my self reading every Harry Potter book I own. I still do read them every year and I never find them tiring. I've experienced the curiosity of Harry's first year, Ginny becoming less and at times more fidgety around Harry in second year, Harry gaining new family in third year, Ron feeling betrayed in fourth year, Voldemort's uprising and the utter disgust for Umbridge in fifth year, Draco's stress, and loneliness in sixth year, and learning that there was no doubt that there would be a future for every character and new characters in the end and seventh year. Without HP, I think I would be just another boring angsty teenager, so I'm am forever grateful to JK and this fandom. I could really go on forever about how well the characters are developed and all kinds of stuff but I won’t bore you with it :)
