Harry Potter is a symbol of hope for anyone that has ever felt left out, alone, or different. Look at his story! An orphan who lives in a broom cupboard, with a family that hates him. His entire life he's felt alone and has never had anyone to love him until one day he's living in a whole new world (literally). He has been told he's worthless from everyone he's known and he finds out he's a hero. Every person, kid or adult, longs for that feeling of being important and making a difference to someone. Harry has proven that it can happen, that you can make a difference. Especially when you're the least likely candidate. I guess what I'm trying to say is, he's not only a hero in the series; he's a hero to the "muggles" like us. To all of the misfits out there who need a little hope: Read Harry Potter. :D
