Harry Potter to me means midnight book releases with your best friends. Staying up all night and day to read the books before your friends did. Becoming a part of a community all its own. Every where I go there is always a Potter fan. I do not like flying just like Hermione, but when I sat down the girl next to me was a diehard fan just like I was. By the time we touched down where we were going I could not believe the time had past. I also lost my dad the same year the first Harry Potter book came out and I was around the same age as Harry I was 12. I would read the books every night to escape the life I had and fall into the one Harry had. I am now 26 and have not missed a single book release or midnight showing of a movie. From then to now I have been all I could be to be the best Potter fan I can be. I never let him down just like all those years he has never let me down. I will be very sad to see this Final Chapter in Harry Potter, but I know its not really over because as long as I have my books and my imagination I can always go back to Hogwarts to dine in the Great Hall, or Diagon Alley to shop at Olivanders or the Weasleys shop, or even to Hogsmead to have a wonderful Butterbeer. The world of Harry Potter will always be alive in me and my family. Thank you Harry and J.K. Rowling for everything.
