Harry Potter means so many things to so many people. For me, it represents a life changing experience. That words on a page could change a person and the world so drastically had never crossed my mind before opening up the first book. Now I look back and think what hasn't this series done. I've learned how to live, how to be a good person, how to stand up for what i believe in. That magic really does exist. I discovered how to discuss and analyze books and become so immersed in such a wonderful world. Most of all though Harry Potter created a community, a fandom, that accepted anyone and everyone and made them feel at home. My life would not be the same without it and I'm truly grateful that Harry Potter is a part of my life and always will be.
