you never think about how something so simple can save so many lives, i know i speak for all the muggles when I say J.K Rowling and Harry Potter sparked a beautiful light in our hearts and minds. Im 17 years old and have absolute faith that somewhere out there Hogwarts is real. I've been reading Harry Potter for as long as I could read, and while i didn't have friends up until I was 14 years old, Harry, Ron, and Hermione have been my best friends, giving me hope in love, success, and happiness - you just have to want it. The movies are absolutely beautiful, and every moment for the last 10 years when i found out when the next movie would premiere I would jump for joy and scream with happiness. I still go back and read the books, I have to worry about school and work and life, but once i open up those pages i feel like a kid again, a happy child with big dreams. Now I've been thinking of how Harry Potter touched my life and what it means it me. When I was about 6 years old my grandma started reading Harry potter and the Philosophers Stone to me, she taught me how to read (and everything else, too). She died when I was 9 years old and I locked myself in my room for a week, refusing to come out, I didn't sleep and i wouldn't eat, i read the Philosophers Stone about four times. So now whenever I'm upset about anything I just read Harry, because he makes everything better. Harry potter are the tales you hear about when you're a little girl/boy and know they are real, J.K Rowling didn't only write a book series, she created a whole world that gives hope to me and other adults. The books and movies will forever live in my heart, I love everyone at Hogwarts.
