Harry Potter has been apart of my life ever since I can remember. I started reading the books in 3rd grade and fell in love with the series, as well as all of the characters. My sisters started reading the books shortly after me. They, like the rest of the world fell in love too. Whenever I'm put in certain situations I think to myself, what would Harry, Ron, and Hermione do? The three best friends teach you how to love, stay strong, and never give up. The characters have become my friends, my family, my enemies, and my motivators. I've been going to midnight showings of the movies for a while, and every time I open up the cover of the books or hear the theme music I fall in love all over again. The Boy Who Lived and all of his friends have truly changed my life. My mom discovered Harry Potter when the 6th movie came out, she has now read all of the books multiple times and has seen all the movies. Harry Potter - this wonderful story - has brought my family together. Harry Potter is so much more than a series of books, it's a lifestyle..a blessing in disguise. It's hard to step back and remember it's only story, when it has become a reality to my family and I. My family has been talking about going to the theme park, but unfortunately we didn't have enough money. When the final movie ends I can promise you it won't be the end for me, and many others. Harry Potter will always have a special place in my heart that not many people can understand. Harry Potter, will and always has been my escape from the world. I cannot say thank you enough to J.K Rowling. She has truly inspired my family, my work ethics, my perspective on life, and she has captured my heart.
