Harry Potter is, and always will be, my entire life. He gives me a place to go when I simply need to get away or take a break from the real world. The series tought me how to love, how to care, and how to deal with a lot of my problems. These books brought me my whole childhood. I started reading them when I was 8 and had gotten the Sorcerer's Stone for my birthday and finished it the very next day. My young mind was so facinated, that I completed the series in no more than three months. I have read and re-read the entire series 14 times as of last weekend and they still never get old. June 30th was my 13th birthday. I have been to 5 out of 8 of the Harry Potter movie midnight premieres. He, to me, means standing up for what you believe in and fighting for what's right. He is an ordinary teenager, just like me and my peers, living and enduring an extra-ordinary life. I love Harry Potter. He, and every other character are as real as life to me and they always will be. Nothing. NOTHING! Can change that. Harry will be passed down to my children and, hopefully, their children. I'd like to seriously thank Ms. J.K. Rowling for my childhood. Far to Much Love, Marisa
