What Harry Potter means to me is what it should mean to everybody.Whenever I pick up a Potter book I blend in with the emotions of the characters,because I'm young like them.At it's heart,Harry Potter is a coming of age story filled with action,suspense,love,hate,life,death,and the eternal struggle of good vs. evil, in which good will always prevail,no matter the odds.The character are just like us at points except they know magic. Teenagers are able feel the emotions in this book because they're going through the very same feelings such as angst,fear,lonliness,anger,and most of all love.Adults can read this as well and remember they had the same feelings and situations when they were our age.They can read a passage of Order of the Phoenix or Half-Blood Prince and chuckle and remember a similar experience in their youth. another thing about Harry Potter is it makes you feel you're not alone.As a teenager is that you always feel that you're alone or no one cares about you.Harry and his friends felt the same way a lot of the time and look what they did.They fought the so-called invincible Lord Voldemort for years and finally defeated him.That makes teenagers feel that they're so much more important than people tell them.I also love the fact that they're just kids.A lot of magic stories are about powerful sorcerer's who were invincible and defeated whoever challenged them.But not this they're just kids in a harsh cruel world but they can find peace at Hogwarts.That's what Harry Potter does for me it gives me a place of peace and belonging all in the pages of book. Harry Potter brings out the kid in us all and lets us dive into a world where you feel you belong in and can find peace from the hars world you live in for jus a few hours(or more like six or seven if you're me).It also send out the word to teens everywhere "you're not alone."that's what Harry Potter means to me.
