Joy. Harry Potter, in its entirety, means happiness and joy and pleasure to me. It's what the book series on a whole has brought me. The pure enjoyment, and delight, in particular when reading The Prisoner of Azkaban, that there was this deeply intertwined plot and threads that were being woven together cohesively from one book to another, from one to three and back to two, and the realization that this was going to continue on through the series, was palpable and amazing to me. I can remember saying to my husband, she's got this entire series completely planned and plotted out, and everything ties together. And wondering together, which seemingly innocuous little tidbit of information in one book would later be revealed as being intrinsic to the series. One of the most wonderful things about the series is that I've been able to share every bit of it with my husband. We've read every book together, out loud to each other, discovering their magic together, and listened countless times together to the audio books. It's something we'll always share, and we are so excited to share it with our children when they are old enough. So perhaps family should also be added as what this series means to me.
