I know this has been said often, but Harry Potter has been such an important part of my childhood. I still remember the first time my dad introduced me to The Philosopher's Stone at the age of nine. I am now a high school graduate, moving on to become an independent college student. I pretty much grew up along side the series. The first book reminds me of the time of innocence and simplicity. I was so captivated by the enchanting tale of a boy wizard. It is amazing how one story can change my life. The last and final chapter feels like the end of an era. For me, the whole series has been an emotional rollercoaster ride. Harry Potter is truly a magical story that inspires many and lives within all of us.
