Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone: Published in London by Bloomsbury on July 30th, 1997. I was born on January 31st, 1997. My older sister was 5 when he began to read the Harry Potter series. She read them to me every night without fail. As a baby, I would sit in my crib and listen, as Dannielle told me the story of Harry and his brave adventures. As I got older I began to read them too. I waited with anticipation outside of bookstores CRAVING the next book, and it's amazing words. Harry Potter was a lullaby to me. Up until the very last book. It became hard for me to read it. I didn't want my childhood to end. Each word was a step closer to the termination of my dreams. I always wanted to be a Wizard, resenting my Muggle heritage(I needed these books. Around the age of 5, the first Harry Potter movie came out. I was so very excited. I begged my mom to take me to the premiere; she complied. Then began my obsession with the MOVIES. To this day, that obsession carries out. When this last movie came out, (went to the midnight premiere), it broke my heart. "There it is," I thought. "There is my world coming to a close." Growing up with Harry Potter is hard. Because they always have to end. Now, without another movie, or book to expect...I feel....empty. Heart broken. Left behind. It's hard to live without Harry Potter. I will read each book, and watch each movie, until my dying day. R.I.P. those who died fighting for their freedom. We will all miss you! Dobby<3 Remus Lupin<3 Nymphadora Tonks<3 Cedric Diggory<3 Hedwig<3 Fred Weasley<3 Sirius Black<3 Lily Potter<3 James Potter<3 Lavender Brown<3 and all others. We love you very much. Long live, Harry James Potter, Hermione Jane Granger, and Ronald Bilius Weasley. <3
