I must not tell lies. I am 25 years old and until this year I have never "seen" or read a single part of the Harry Potter series. My wonderful boyfriend and a friend of ours decided to correct this horrible circumstance by not only showing me all of the movies, but not letting me go to the premier of the eighth movie unless I finished reading all seven of the books as well. I'm extremely happy to say that I succeeded in my task (without any difficulty) and I that I thanked them every minute of the way for sharing Harry Potter with me.

I can honestly say now that Harry Potter is one of the most epic stories ever told. Whether I was reading the books or watching the movies I was transported to their world and they became so real that when I finish a book or a movie I was left in a state of shock at being back in reality. The themes within this story relate and hold true for everybody. However it was the overall theme of LOVE in all it's different forms that captured my heart for the Harry Potter series and why I will be sharing this with my kids someday. Harry Potter is a reminder to me about how important and powerful love is and how you can not survive without it.

One more thanks to the people that shared this with me, without you I would have never known these characters or this story and that is a scary thought.
