Well I can't say that I grew up with the series since I was around 19 when I started reading the books, and by then Book 4 was already out. However I can honestly say that no other book series has so captivated my heart and imagination, nor have I yet read any books from cover to cover as soon as I got them. If it is one thing that I have learned from the series, it's that magic exists, and it exists in all of us. We just need to believe in ourselves to tap into it, and who knows what's possible. While the story of Harry and his friends over 7 years is the classic good vs. evil paradigm, the true journey was what they became over the course of those 7 years. It's about the journey, not the destination.
