"What does Harry Potter mean to you?" is possibly the easiest...yet hardest question I have ever been asked. In a way, it is simple. What Harry Potter means to me ...four letters. L-I-F-E. The wizarding world has been a huge part of my life for 13 years. Finding the write words or a space large enough to hold them to describe how it has effected and changed my life...and just what it "means" to me is an impossible task. I have grown with these books...I have grown up with them. I have also grown in spirit, heart, love, strength, courage, imagination, etc. Each book, each film, each story, memory, moment...has meant the world to me. These stories have not only changed my life...but they have changed me. They have changed the world, and the written word. In my head and my heart...I live my life each day in the wizarding world and I will continue to for the rest of my life. Visiting the wizarding world is my dream, the biggest one I think I have ever had. It would be the most amazing magical moments of my life and I would treasure them forever. I can not imagine my life without Harry Potter. With the final film many have said, even the posters announce that "It all ends here" ...but for me it will never end. For me the stories and adventures continue and will forever. I will share these stories with my future children and watch the movies with them over and over again. I can not express or write down everything that harry potter means to me...but those four letters will have to do. For me the journey will never end...my mischief will never truly be managed. I only hope this leads me to the next chapter. "Whether you come back by page, or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there, to welcome you home." -J.K. Rowling
