The magnificent series written by JK Rowling has not been just a bunch of books I like to read. These books were a huge escape for me during my life. I had tons of issues in my household growing up between divorced parents & controlled substances used by someone who was supposed to be a rolemodel, but each time I was at my lowest of lows (or even my highest of highs), I turned to Harry and his two best friends. It's hard to express what these books truly mean to me. I grew up in such an amazing generation. JK Rowling created a world that I could escape to when my own wasn't going right; she created friends who became my best friends, teachers who became my mentors. She's shown me what bravery, loyalty, love and courage is through Harry, Ron and Hermione. She taught me to never give up through the Golden Trio. If it wasn't for Harry Potter and his friends, I know I wouldn't be where I am now. Thank you, Harry. Thank you, Ron. Thank you, Hermione... for showing me things I wouldn't have been able to see by myself. I carry you in my heart and I have stuck with you until the very end.
