Harry Potter means more to me than any other book or movie series. I grew up, first with my mom reading the Sorcerer's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets to me, then reading the Prisoner of Azkaban myself when I was in 4th grade, and reading the series over again every time a new book came out. In total I have read every book in the series at least seven times. Besides the books, the movies are also very close to my heart. I began watching the movies when I was young and I grew up with them. I got to know Daniel, Rupert, Emma, and their characters like they were my friends and now that the movies are finished, although I am happy that they can now start new parts of their lives, I am also very sad because it's like losing three close friends. I wish them the very best of luck with the rest of their lives and I will be sure to follow their careers. Also, I wish to thank J.K. Rowling from the bottom of my heart for providing this experience, Harry Potter changed my life, it is really the series that got me into reading, and I also want to thank the crews of the movies for providing such good entertainment for the better part of my childhood. I will continue to read the series until I know it by heart, and in the future I will read it to my children so that they will grow to love Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and all the others like I have. The series didn't end with the showing of the last movie, it is still living on in every fan's heart and it will continue to do so in future generations.
