Harry Potter means so much to me, because of all the Potter memories I have accumulated in my lifetime. I clearly remember my mother giving me the first book. We read the first two chapters out loud on Thursday night, the next two on Friday, and the rest of the book on Saturday. We continued the tradition of reading the books out loud together through each book release. We went to almost every midnight showing and the seventh movie I waited for months to watch, because I wanted to see it first with her and I was away at school. Harry Potter has helped strengthen my bond with my mother and I will forever be grateful to J.K. Rowling because of that. Few people could write a series that could transcend so many generational barriers. With the last movie, I feel like my childhood has finally ended. Harry Potter helped me believe anything is possible and I will greatly miss the suspense of getting prepared for new chapters in his life.
