Sadly words will never express the deep bond I share with the Harry Potter series, and Mr. Harry James Potter himself. I began reading the books when I was eight years old, and when the first film came out, I was 11, as were Harry, Ron, and Hermione. At 21, for more then half of my life these characters, their stories, trials and tribulations, triumphs have been with me, and have impacted my life beyond anything I would have ever originally thought. J.K. Rowling herself, has helped me in so many ways simply by letting her beautiful mind dream up all of this, and craft it on paper. My speech, my grammar, have been immensely improved upon and fined tuned because of her. There literally, is nothing greater to me in life, than Harry Potter. The books, the films, have captivated my imagination with such magic and wonder forever, and will always. I am forever grateful to J.K., Daniel, Emma, Rupert, Alan, Maggie, Robbie, Gary, David, Michael, Tom, Bonnie, Emma T, Julie, Mark, Jason, Ralph, Helena, Evanna, Matthew, Oliver, James, Natalia, Warwick, Devon, Jim, David Yates, David Heyman, Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell, Steve Kloves, for literally everything. Everything was so brilliantly perfect because of your contributions to this masterpiece of a franchise. You will all have a dear place in my heart for as long as I lived, and I'm sure in the hearts of a few billion as well.
