Harry Potter is one of those things that is inseparable from your childhood memories. Getting the first book on my eighth birthday, going to see the first movie when I was nine, ripping my copy of Order of the Phoenix out of its packaging, walking out of Prisoner of Azkaban wowed, being shocked to my core at the killing off of Dumbledore in Half-Blood Prince, reading 12 straight hours to finish Deathly Hallows on the first day it was released, to when I'll go to see the last movie this Friday. Harry Potter got me to think about love, death, modern society, and prejudice, all in a way that made the solutions seem almost easy. It has been a part of my life for over ten years, and I'm already choking up about it ending. The true final phase of my childhood ending. But the stories of Harry and his friends will remain with me forever.
