Harry Potter means everything to me. . When I was 6 I read everything I could get my hands on. And my mum believing that I could do anything got me the first harry potter book. And I couldn't put it down. I finished it in just a day and I fell in love with the magic. I also moved around a lot as a child and never really made friends that lasted, my only escape from the loneliness was the Harry Potter series. They were always there for me. It was also how I met my best friend of almost 7 years. It's how I connected to the person that means the world to me. I grew up with Harry Potter and those books were at my side when no one else was. Whenever I fell into depression I need only to remember that "happiness can be found in the darkest times if one only turns on the light." It provided me with 11 years of laughter, of tears, and of the feeling that "all was well." Harry Potter helped me grow up and rediscover the magic of simply living. So for that I can't thank Jo Rowling enough for helping a lost girl find her light :)
