"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest times, if one only remember to turn on the light" -Dumbledore. This quote sums up everything Harry potter has meant to me over my lifetime. I have searched and searched for a meaning to life, crying out in the night at times in anger, to hold on to a hope that one day our lives may be just as exciting and meaningful as the wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter. Some say its pointless to cling to our imaginations and deepest dreams in times of need and despair: that we should focus on our reality and look to the things that we know and trust. I say they are wrong. I cling to these hopes and passions as a beacon of light in my life. Our world wouldn't be anywhere, if man just took what was in front of him and accepted things for what they were. However, it is those that look into themselves, that find the key and unlock the gates of the future. It is those: that hold onto their dreams and ambitions that have the passion to look forward. It is those that are willing to sacrifice things of great importance in their worlds to accomplish the great, and the good. Harry Potter was thrust into a world where he was faced with great and terrible trials and tribulations. He looked into sky and into his heart and accomplished to what seemed the impossible, but not without those that helped him to extensive lengths. His friends and family were there all along the way. His story is one of the greatest provinces of hope that one can find today, and the ability to look within ourselves to see a means to an end of all that wish to stomp out the flames of our lives.

Even as I grow into my adult years being thrust into an adult world where things seem scary and dark, I will always remember that there will happiness is always possible and magic can always be found, as long as I look into the right direction, and remember to turn on the light.
