Harry Potter is the childhood of many. The lives we live may be ordinary, but the Harry Potter novels and films opened a window to a world so beautiful that "magical" would be a vast understatement. Harry Potter means growth, loyalty, love, friendship (obviously), pain. It also opened our eyes to the truth that there is a such a thing as pure evil. In Tom Riddle, there was no remorse, no guilt, only a lust for power. We learned that no matter how magical a world may be, there will be danger and even death. Harry Potter is a world we love and cherish. It is our magical escape that keeps us partially in reality with every realistic scenario and every human feeling these characters have. It taught us so much about life as the majority of us started reading the books as children and grew into adults with the characters. It would be impossible to describe Harry Potter in one word. No word would shed proper light on the story of the Boy Who Lived, The Man who could Accept Everyone but Himself (Lupin), The Man Who Always Knew What He Wanted (Sirius), The Living Proof that People Can Change (James), The Woman that Followed her Heart until the very End (Lily), The Girl Who let Nothing Stand in her Way (Ginny), The Girl Who Never Had a Doubt (Luna), The Bravest Leader Hogwarts has Ever Seen (Neville), The Woman who Always Knew Right from Wrong (Professor Mcgonagall), The Man Who Broke the Stereotype (Professor Slughorn), The Boy Whose Death Sparked a Revolution (Cedric Diggory), The Boys Who Stuck Together until the Very End (Fred & George), The Girl that they Couldn’t Have Done it Without (Hermione), The Best Friend a Legend Could Ask For (Ron), and The Bravest Man we Ever Knew (Snape). There is no proper way to shed the light of what Harry Potter has done to the world. It is that powerful and beautiful.
