This question could be asked to millions of people, but not a single answer would be the same. The books have been much more than just a story to me. To me it was the life I secretly wanted to live. Harry Potter brought me to a magical place in which I could do what ever I pleased and be what ever I pleased. The story played a big part of my childhood and how I've gone on two adulthood. Like they say "the creative adult was the child who survived", and that what I felt Harry Potter did for me. I would up late at night just re-reading the tale of the boy who lived and his friends. Everything about it was just wonderful and lovely and I still wish it hadn't ended. It preserved the child inside me that never wanted to leave in the first place. JK Rowling wrote these books in a way where a story could take you on a journey and for 10 years I've been enjoying every moment of that wonderful journey. :D
