"What does Harry Potter mean to you?"

Although, admittedly, I have never read any of the books (though I do plan on doing so once I can afford them), I have been a huge fan of Harry Potter ever since I went to see the first film with my childhood friend. I do not own a bunch of HP merchandise, nor did I dress up for any of the premieres, but my love for the series - the world Ms. Rowling created - is much deeper, and much more personal than that. I have a dream of attending The Wizarding World of Harry Potter someday, whether I have to save every penny for it or not. I just feel that being able to experience even a small portion of the HP universe in real life would be, dare I say it... magical. In summation, what Harry Potter means to me is, well, the ability to experience this magic through our imaginations, and to carry its enchantment in our hearts long after the pages have withered and the screen has gone black.

And, to Ms. Rowling, if ever you should read this: Thank you so much! I cannot wait to read the entire series for myself, and highly anticipate the release of Pottermore. You truly are a gift to us all!
