What does Harry Potter mean to me? I've grown up with it. I can remember the first time i watched it. I was at the babysitters and she asked me if i wanted to watch a movie. She picked Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Despite the warnings that it might be to scary, i watched it. I've loved the series ever since. I started reading the books in first grade, and that's not a lie. I read the first one out of school, it took me the entire year to read it, but i finished it. Ever since then it was my favorite series. It has taught me and everyone who has read it valuable lessons. It teaches not to be brought down by criticism, and to be courageous. To love indefinitely, and if you have true friends, you will never be alone. It also lets you get away from the real world for awhile and let your mind wander in their magical world.

So to sum it all up, Harry Potter means to me that no matter what life throws at you, no matter what difficult times you go through if you have friendship and love, you will defeat your adversities. If you can choose between what is right, and what is easy, you will always reach your highest goals.

Thank You, J. K. Rowling for making a brilliant series, and bringing out the kid in every ones hearts. You created a fantastic world, and taught people valuable lessons. I am saddened that it is over, but it will live on in everyone who has read it. This series will never die. <3
