Harry Potter gives me a joy that only children seem to be able to tap into. It is the story of love, loss, life and laughter that happened alongside my own childhood. I love reading thanks to these books, and I'm working to be a writer now because I hope to help others realize and remember the poignancy a simple string of written words can possess. Harry Potter is my literary comfort food, the story that can lighten my heart after even the darkest of days, and without it, I would likely not have some of the friends I have today, would likely not have studied abroad in Scotland, and would likely not have as creative an imagination.

Thank you, J.K., for your gift. It's one of the best I've ever gotten.
