Harry Potter has so many different meanings for me. I have been a single parent to my son for 13 years and am always looking for ways to make positive memories for him. We have so many great memories that we have shared, all due to J.K. Rowling and her wonderful imagination. The most memorable was the day that I planned for him and a friend when the last book was to come out. We were going to the Harry Potter party at Barnes and Noble that night at 9:00, and so I decided to make the entire day magical. We went to a place called Magic Quest where you choose a wand and go on quests to search for clues to unlock magical secrets. I then took the boys to Dragons Lair miniature golf complete with a fire breathing dragon. Then it was time to go home and get our wands and scarves for the book release party. Barnes and Noble did it up right. The kids were busy the entire night playing games, searching for golden snitches, making edible wands, doing crafts, and on and on! At midnight, I felt this wave of sadness wash over me knowing that this would be our last Harry Potter experience to share. Thank you so much for everything J.K. Rowling. You made a difference in our lives!
