I grew up listening to my dad read Harry Potter as my bedtime stories. I loved them from the first line. They developed my passion for fantasy fiction. I can pick up any of the Harry Potter books whenever and fall in love with them all over again. When I read the books, I feel I know the characters and I have a special connection that no one else has. Harry Potter represents a world that welcomes and is made especially for people who are different. I am a complete nerd and proud of it. The books made that so. I have met many of my closest friends because of our mutual love for Harry Potter and for being different. The Harry Potter series is so much apart of me, though not as notable on my surface. The books taught me to accept others, broaden my imagination, and to stand up for what I believe in. I love everything about the books and my life would be empty and colorless with out them.
