I was just six years old when I saw the Philosopher's Stone. I was instantly captivated by the world of magic and started on the first book when I was seven. Soon I realized that Harry Potter meant so much to me, Harry taught me that you go through difficult things, such as death and rejection. Harry taught me to be yourself and to never give up. I had gone through a lot of trouble and bullying as a kid and Harry was a comfort to me. When I lost someone close to me, when Order of Phoenix came out in Theaters and I saw it, Luna's words really made realize that we never truly lose the people who are close to us, I just needed to hear it in person. Harry Potter was and will always be my ten years of Childhood. I went from six to sixteen with this series. Good and Bad, Loss of Innocence, Harry Potter means the world to me, and I have J.K. Rowling to thank for the most magical childhood, a girl like me could ask for.
