My childhood was full of ups and downs. I spent a lot of time in my room with nothing to do. Then i discovered reading. It opened up a whole new world for me. The first book I read was the Sorcerer's Stone. It got me hooked not only on harry potter, but on reading in general. The Harry Potter series opened up many things for me in my life. I fell in love with reading, I started reading more and more, went on to college, something I never considered until I found my love for reading. Harry Potter helped shape the woman I am today, just with one book, he and J.K Rowling helped me to be the best me IK could be. Helped me face my fears, and learn that even if I dont come out on top, I came out alive. That is what Harry potter means to me
