What does Harry Potter mean to me? It’s hard to describe how it happened. I wasn’t a reader until I picked up Harry. Scribbles on a page quickly became a magical story unveiling itself before my eyes. I forgot I was even turning pages, and soon for me, like Harry, Hogwarts became a place I could escape. However, it was even more than just escapism. After 10 years of Harry-Potter-dom, I’ve come to realize how magnificently Joe crafted Harry’s world: A world millions of kids and adults now share. Seeing Harry’s world from book 7 is like looking up at the stars, and wondering how? It’s such a vast and incredibly specific world. I can barely understand how Joe penned it all so eloquently. Harry Potter is not just apart of my childhood, but it is my childhood. From parent’s divorces to school problems to anything and everything else in the world, Harry was and is my one sure anchor. Unlike Harry, who, at times, had to make his journey alone, I never had to do so. He was always there for me. So what does Harry Potter mean to me? Simple: Everything!
