Harry Potter means the world to me. In third grade my teacher read the first book aloud to us, and I fell instantly under the spell of JK Rowling's magical world. I am constantly thinking 'What would Harry do?' when faced with a desicion. I've been trying to get into shape, and I started pretending I was running from Dementors with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The quote that gets me through everything is 'Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.' I wear my Hogwarts cloak everywhere, I bring my wand to the store, and write 'Long Live Harry!' on post it notes, and stick them everywhere. My dad and I see every movie together, I dress up. I tried to get him to. I know everyone wants to win this contest, but I don't want to win it for me. I want to win it for my best friend, who I recently got into Harry Potter. Unfortunately, she hasn't been to a midnight premier or a book release, and she will never have the chance to. It would mean the world to both of us to be able to go there together. I have a shrine to the series in my room, and a whole playlist of Wizard Wrock songs on my iPod. Harry Potter will never truly be over, he will continue to live on in our hearts. I shout spells at people, cuddle with my Potter books (which are all very worn, from all the times I've read them), and quote the books and movies constantly. Nothing ANYBODY says could change the fact that Harry Potter is my favorite book and movie franchise. I cried for a whole day after the last movie premier. Each of the characters has taught me something, and I'm proud to say that I'm a fan. It would mean so much to me and my friend Abby if you would choose me.
