I've been reading Harry Potter since I was seven years old. My grandfather sent me my first copy of The Sorcerer's Stone on my birthday, and we enjoyed the stories together, and then the movies, until he died in 2009. They were a bonding experience for us. Though the books started out as a seemingly shallow children's series - I was too young to really appreciate the depth - as I grew, they grew to become deep, complex stories with all sorts of side-plots and adventures that I still have to re-read to search for. The last movie may be arriving in a couple days, and the last book may have been out for years, but there is no way this series is finished. Like Hermione, I'll keep reading and learning more about the series and the characters in it, which I've grown to know and love like old friends. Harry Potter is a never-ending experience; that's what it means to me. Wingardium Leviosa, granddad. I'll be following the owl until my dying days.
