Harry Potter means more to me, and to many other fans, than just a "movie franchise" or a "book series." It's a fantasy world that you can enter when you want to escape from reality; when you want to forget about your own troubles, and read about someone else's for a while. It teaches Harry Potter fans many morales throughout the book; to be brave, strong, determined, to never give up, to value friendship, to believe in yourself, and so much more. It's almost as if every morale, every lesson I've learned, has come from Harry Potter; I think even teachers would benefit from reading the books out loud in class! In addition, Joanne has given millions of people across the world the gift of imagination; exploring the many crevices of Hogwarts Castle, joining along in magnificent adventures, or riding along on a dragon's scaled back. Imagination is what shapes this world today; without imagination, how would inventors ever come to creating anything? So with that being said, Harry Potter is an outstanding franchise that will never be forgotten, even as the credits role up the screen at the end of Part 2. Because truly, it will never leave us, as Harry Potter fans will carry it with them in their hearts forever. "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home." -J.K. Rowling.
