Before I start writing I would like to make it clear that I am underage and do have my parents consent.

To all of us, Harry Potter is much more than just a book series. It is something that all of our lives are a part of. We all felt the pain of living with the Dursley's. The amazement of walking down Diagon Alley. The delight of being sorted into Gryffindor. The excitement of playing Quidditch. The unbreakable companionship of Ron and Hermione. The heroism of Professor Dumbledore. The difficulty of losing the ones we love. The anxiety of believing that we were either not good enough, or not good at heart. The bravery that was needed in the most difficult of times. The shock of learning a revelation. The changes that one faces while trying to find out who we really are. The fear of having to face evil. And also the love felt when our wizarding community stood up for freedom together. We have all leaned a countless amount from these books. And we have grown up with the characters of this series, and formed a bond with them. Hogwarts is a home. And as they say, there is no place like home. That is what Harry Potter truly means to me.
