I can't really explain all of it into writing but it was my reaction to all of it. I was only 6 when the first movie came out and my mom took me and my brother and older sister out for my older sister's birthday to go see the movie. I fell in love with it automatically. I never thought a series of books about wizards, witches, owls, love, war, death, winning, and losing and much much more can capture my attention and hold onto my heart in such a matter. I remember seeing the second movie at home and the rest up until Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part 1 came out into theatres. I begged my mom to let my sister see it with me and she finally said yes. During that time I was reading book 5, but yet I managed to understand what was going on though. I'm not sure if I'm considered a true Harry Potter fan for watching the movies first then reading the books. But it makes me an honorable fan to know that I commited myself to sit there and learn everything I can about that Wizarding World. I even tried avoiding the series after I saw movie 7 I knew I was going to cry and be depress about it all. But, I knew that I spent my childhood and most of my teenage years well spent. People think its weird for someone like me to enjoy Harry Potter as much as I do and it wouldn't matter about what others think because I know I'm spending my life rather well. Also to add on to this Harry Potter has been apart of me from my past, present, and future because I know the next generation will be greatly excited to know about such an optimistic world and know that there's more to reading than just a fictional world but to open your mind to the greater well being of your inner imagination. I also think they'll be a bit disappointed as I was when I didn't get my Hogwarts letter.
