I only started reading Harry Potter as an adult even though it was around when I was in middle school. I started reading it just as times in my life started to get bad, I went through some very bad years all the while reading these books. Harry Potter took me away from the messed up crazy life of mine. Gave me the chance to believe in magic and be a kid again. It gives me that MAGICICAL feeling you can only seem to feel as a kid. I feel it with Harry Potter. Its a relief and an escape from reality. Oh how I wish the world of Harry Potter were real I would be there in a heartbeat and would be sending my kids off to Hogwarts without hesitation, if we weren't muggles that is. Harry Potter has also became something special between my kids and I. They have also had the spell of love for Potter cast upon them and can't wait until I get them their own wands and robes. It also touches me deeply me that JK Rowling was just a single mother on welfare when she began this journey. I also am a single mother who is struggling. I can see how and why she created this magical world for so many to escape to. It will always be a huge part of my life and hold a special place in my heart. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do when it all comes to an end this week.
