For me, Harry Potter is what made me get into reading. I moved here to LA from Japan when I was 6 and these were the first books I read and because they were so great, I loved reading and still love reading til this day. Harry Potter made me realize that anything's possible and that your imagination can go a long way. It's also thought me about great friendship and the risk that you take for the ones you love and that beneath everyone, good or bad, there's always a story behind them. I always like to refer back to one of my favorite quotes from the books, which is: "We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." - Sirius Black No one's always just good or bad and there's a reason they are the way they are. Harry Potter means the world to me and we have J.K. Rowling to thank for that because as J.K. Rowling herself said, Hogwarts is a place that'll always be there to welcome us home whether it's by page or the movies, and reading the HP books or watching the movies is just a moment of time where I feel like I can get lost in this magical world.
