"It is our choices that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities." These select few of many wise words spoken by Dumbledore are really what sums up the Harry Potter series to me. As exemplified in this story, there is a little bit of light and dark in each and every one of us, but it is what we choose to do with it that really counts. This lesson has travelled with me throughout my childhood and shaped the person I have become. I feel it shows exactly what Harry Potter is all about. The evil wizards in the book all got where they ended up due to CHOICES, not GENES. That lesson will always stick with me as I continue on through my life and I can thank Harry for that.
