I'm 24 years old and although I am a college graduate doing my part to contribute to society, I never REALLY grew up. There are plenty of articles of fiction involving magic, mystery, and adventure, but none that dealt with the process of growing up and finding yourself amidst such an amazing series of events and accidents. I could always count on Harry Potter to be my escape from my own struggles dealing with growing up in an infinitely less amazing circumstance. It helped teach me that even in fiction you can take inspiration in your every day life. It is because of Harry Potter that I continue to age but not get old... must be magic or something.
