To me, Harry Potter means my childhood. I was brought up reading the books and watching the movies. Harry Potter, although a fictional world, helped me to realise that it is okay to be different and that it doesn't matter if you stand out or if you blend in with others! So to me, Harry potter means my confidence. If it wasn't for Harry Potter, I would never have taken such an interest in reading, which I can now do for hours on end! Harry Potter is a world in which I can escape and which is so amazingly written that whilst I read it, I feel as though I am living it. I have cried and laughed along with the series and it means so much to me! Without Harry Potter, I wouldn't be who I am now. The series has affected my life more than anyone will ever know. It gave me the determination to stand up for what I believe in, like Harry. To be loyal to my friends no matter what, like Ron and Hermione And also like hermione, to work hard at school and don't let anything stand in your way! To me, Harry Potter means everything!!
