This series taught me and countless others At first it killed me that Harry Potter was ending, but then I realized that this is a good thing. The series may be at an end but the magic lives on. Harry Potter has not only made an indelible mark in the minds of many, but has seeped into my very being. The things that these books have taught me are things that will stay with me for the rest of my life, and now that Harry's story has come to a close, mine can finally begin. I can put all the lessons he taught me to use: how to be strong in the face of adversity; how to find the goodness in yourself amongst the darkness that lingers in all of us; how to smile when the world seems at its bleakest. Harry Potter has changed me for the better, without a doubt. And that is what Harry Potter means to me.
