Harry Potter is the reason I start my love affair with books and reading. When I was younger I had a very hard time reading and was put into a special program to get extra help. I never cared for reading and thought it was only for "nerds." But one day my mom brought home a little old book call "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and by the end of the last page I was already hooked. I never realized how reading the words on the page could make you feel like you are actually there in person and for the first time I got lost in a book and I continue to over and over again. I stayed with Harry Potter until the last book and now the last movie has come out and am very sad its ending but I know whenever I want to go back I just have to go to my bookshelf and I'm there. Thank you J.K. Rowling for creating this magical world and showing me the importance and awesomeness of reading, I plan to share this with my kids and their kids.
