Harry Potter to me was a place for me to go when I felt alone or in need of a place to go. The books and movies have been able to help me through the tough times in my life, like bulling. They took me on a journey on self discovery. With what Harry and everyone else was going through, fighting the evil in your life. I felt like I was doing the same. The stories helped me escape my pain for a little a go into a world that I wished was real. These stories have changed my life for the better and have since helped me realized that I can either run and hide, or stand up for myself and face my fears in life. Seeing everything play out of screen just even more helped my imagination to what I was seeing in my mind when I read the books. These timeless stories of courage, drive, friendship, family, love, strength, and more have helped many children, young adults, and adults but they have really helped me, and I will forever love Harry Potter and will continue to read the books to myself and my children as well as the movies for years to come. Thank you J.K Rowling and everyone involved for the past 10+ years.
