Harry Potter has literally shaped who I am today. I did not find out until yesterday that Harry was the first book over 50 pages that I read. I read it in 5 days as a kindergartner. Harry Potter taught me that reading was a way to enjoy myself, and provided me with a whole other world to indulge myself in. I grew up learning alongside the characters lessons that would ring true in my own life. I am today about to go to college and major in literature, something I honestly attribute to JK Rowling and the Harry Potter series. I received a 35 on my English portion of my ACT - a test in the states - and I attribute that to Harry Potter. Harry has helped me be the intelligent, curious girl I am today.
