What does Harry Potter mean to me? Harry Potter means my childhood. I started reading the series when I was 11 years old; I am now 21 and it feels like it's all over. But of course, that's impossible because Harry Potter is and always will be remembered in my heart. See, Hogwarts became my refuge when I was going through family problems. I would hide in various places with my books and just read and read and read. I cried and laughed and screamed and shouted and just be with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Harry Potter isn't just a series for me. It's my livelihood. Harry Potter means everything to me and several years down the road, it will mean the same to my children because who can forget what Harry has done for all of us? All I can say is, my heartfelt gratitude to J.K. Rowling for introducing us to a world where everything is possible and that adventure is just around the corner. Thank you for everything. Harry Potter is, and always will be, my childhood best friend.
