Harry Potter represents my childhood, that time of innocence, when you expected your letter from Hogwarts at age 11. I began reading the series around first grade, and now the final movie came out at the beginning of my senior year. It encompassed most of my life, enriching it, enhancing it. I was often teased as a child, so Hermione Granger, a fellow bright young woman with chronically bad hair, was a friend with whom I could sympathize. She gave me the knowledge that no matter how bad things are now, with good friends you can find happiness. The entire trio has blessed my life, giving me friends that will never abandon me. So to me, Harry Potter is innocence, and freedom from the worries of today. It was a world where I could do magic, and I could soar on dragons. It was a world to which I am sad to say good-bye.
