Harry Potter means a lot of things to me; for one, it means being able to escape to a world where everything turns out right in the end. You see a boy who starts out living in a closet and being horribly treated, and ends with ridding the world of the most wicked man that ever lived. It just goes to show anyone who cares to look that a hero can be found in anyone. It also taught me to believe in myself - if Harry Potter could kill a basilisk, save his god-father, win the Tri-Wizard Tournament - then why couldn't a normal girl make through high school on a day to day basis? I began reading Harry Potter when I was ten; I feel in love with it so much that I let myself get swept away in the 'fanfiction' craze. After writing thsoe fictions for years, I began writing my own fiction and have since gotten it published - all thanks to one series. This series also means a lot sentimentally; whenever a new movie would come out, it was something the entire family got excited about. My brother, an onry sixteen-year-old boy, stole my books and read them of his own free will when he refuses to read anything for school. Harry Potter means much more to me than I can explain with words, but at least I've tried.
