To me, Harry Potter as well as Ron Weasely and Hermione Granger are childhood friends. They have created a fantasy world in which every child/ young adult (haha) now wants to live in. Harry Potter and all of his antics taught readers love, courage, strength and loyalty. It also showed a boy who had a terrible upbringing- something that unfortunately many people can relate to. But Harry made it through all of that- showing others they can too. In fact, he didn't just make it through, he came out on top. He found out he had magical powers which is every kid's dream. He never hands out payback though to anyone who hurts him, (aside from Voldemort the representation of evil). His defeat of Voldemort shows others that love is always stronger than evil. Those who are weak and for whatever reason too afraid to love saw Harry love so much, despite his past. Despite his heartbreak he still loves. Harry Potter gave me strength. He is hope.
