Harry Potter is what opened a whole new world to me. A world which now includes the likes of Narnia, among others. It was a major part of my childhood; the books, as well as the movies. It got me to love reading, to love using my imagination. It also taught me the power of friendship, and of the triumph of love, and most of all, the willingness to sacrifice oneself, selflessly, to help others in need and most of all. It opened up a world of magic, without needing a wand or uttering a spell.
