It is way more than a series. What started out as fictional an idea turned into a world wide phenominon that defined our era. Harry Potter to me represents my childhood and helped in so many ways define and become who i am today. It showed me that bravery and friendship can get you through anything, you must always forgive no matter what the consequences, and no matter how hard it may get, always have hope. It frames life in a whole other meaning, including fighting for whats right, friendship, loss, romance, and everything magical. It takes all of this and twists it all together, not leaving out a single detail until you have a life-long story that on the outside may seem fictional but on the inside is pure reality. It is the ultimate guidlines to life and once you witness it there's no going back. I am thirteen and in the past few years my father, my uncle, and my granfather all died. Harry Potter was my idol. When i saw how brave he was and how much more chaos he had to withstand and he stood through it all until the end, i pushed myself to be strong. All of my cousins are much younger than me and Harry Potter showed me how to be strong for them. Now it's ended. And i will NEVER forget what Harry Potter has done for me. I would be nothing without it.
