What Harry Potter means to me is that you should never give up no matter what happens to you. When I first read the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone I was very sick and in and out of the Hospital. It really helped me feel better to know that Harry even though had extreme struggles was able to gain friends and start a conquest of destroying evil. Being able to say that Harry Potter is one of the best book series I have ever read. I have one more reason of what Harry Potter means to me. In December of 2006 I lost my best friend in the whole world. He was only 15. For the year after I just kept reading books 1-6 over and over to remind myself of how no matter how close a person is to you when they pass away, but that you can always achieve great things. No matter what happens in my life I can always go and read a Harry Potter book and always be in a better mood afterwards. If it weren't for Harry Potter I might not be the same person that I am now. Harry Potter's world is an escape from all of the troubles in our world.
