In my life I've had my own dark moments and there were times when no one was around and I was too weak to turn on the light. My mother died at the age of four and I've only really had my two brothers and my father. They have always stuck around but there were always problems in my house, like my dads drinking habit that he left behind and the debt that was always clouding our family's mind. I love my family but I've always felt very alone. When I first saw Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone it didn't occur to me that it would change my life forever. I was very young and when I actually picked up the books a couple of years later, they certainly changed my life. They helped me turn on the light, they allowed me to to jump into another world, befriend these characters, show me that I'm not alone. With these books, I've gained friends, so many friends that share the same interests as me that I would have never come across. These books and these movies mean the world to me. I've stuck with Harry until the end and I know that this series will stay with me until the end as well.
