Journey. Dedication. Childhood. Acceptance. Love. Speechless. Amazing. These are the words that express my feelings about Harry Potter. There is nothing like that journey I have made over the years from growing up with Harry, Hermione, and Ron at my bedside. It's completely hard to describe in words because in order to understand it, one must have gone through it. I know there are millions of others that feel the same way and that's why the series has become so popular. The Potterverse knows how to make a stand. Harry has been there when I've needed the courage and the strength to get over something that was particularly hard. Hermione has given me the confidence that I can be intelligent when I want to be. And Ron has given me the humor that I need during the hard times. Each character has instilled a part of themselves in me and I have taken that and run with it. Knowing that the entire series/movies are coming to a close saddens me, but I know it's not the end. I never knew that books could make a person feel so good until I read Harry Potter and it's not only been all my life, but it's changed my life for the better and I can say that I'm quite content and happy with that journey to Hogwarts that I've taken. It's not a goodbye, it's a goodbye for now.
