As the days approching the release of the final Harry Potter film died away, I found myself looking back on the past 10 years. Ten years full of love, mystery, action, loyalty, amazing battle sequences, and most of all, the creation of a new, magical world within our own that no one other than Mrs. J.K. Rowling herself could have thought up. I felt a connection with this world, as with the magnificent characters that inhabit it. I saw my own struggles play out through the experiences of these young witches and wizards. I grew as a person through the World of Harry Potter. The story of a boy who defied the most powerful dark wizard of all time as a mere child and grew to discover his destiny as a man. Harry Potter added a flame to my childhood- no, my life- that shall never burn out. Harry Potter gave me an escape to a place that no one could take me from. Harry Potter showed me that even through times of pure darkness, there is a light. Thank you, to all who made these stories real, for changing my life.
