What Harry Potter means to me is more then just a typical story a child can get sucked into. Growing up, I had much trouble with reading and even was required to go to summer reading school to pass kindergarten. In 3rd grade my friend got me into Harry Potter, and from then reading is something much more to me. Growing up, isolated from being the "fat girl" I relied on Harry Potter to be my best friend; which worked out to be amazing. I read the whole series in a week and would re read till i passed out, I never got sick of them. First days of school I would take them with me, even If I never read them, because I knew I had them right by me if I needed to. Every summer when Im not busy with school I get back into the habit of always reading my Harry Potter books; my best friends. JK Rowling didnt create just a book series, to me she created an escape that many other kids use now. And now that Im turning 18, and the Harry Potter series is over cinematically, Harry Potter will always be in my heart as the most important book to me besides the Bible and where I went when I couldnt handle growing up. I only hope JK Rowling will continue her beautiful works when I have kids so they can be fortunate enough to grow up with Harry as I did.

Tying into possibly going to the Wizarding world of Harry Potter, as a low income family with my Mom having Multiple Scelorsis, we cannot just easily fly all the way across the country to visit the one theme park I want to visit in my life. I would be very blessed to even be considered to do so for free. So thank you for reading this entry, and I hope to one day nonetheless go to the world where I got lost in for 10 years growing up; the beautiful magical wizarding world of Harry Potter.
