Harry Potter and what it means to me. Wow, I barely can even put this in words! I am fifteen and read the very first book when I was five years old. I've literally grown up with this series. Tonight is the midnight premiere, and I will be saying goodbye to my childhood. Harry Potter taught me the true value of friendship, courage and most importantly, it taught me love. I've dreamt for years of a world where Harry Potter existed and now it has come true with this theme park. When I was eleven, I even hoped that it was all true, and that I would be receiving my letter any day. Although this never happened, I never lost love for the series. The magic of it will live on forever through the books, movies and now the park. Through this theme park, I may never need to say a full goodbye to my childhood, and the series that truly changed my life.
