Harry Potter was my life. .In 10+ years I took comfort, love, and laughter from those books when I couldn't have found it anywhere else. I laughed and cried like those characters were real and got nervous and afraid when things weren't going right for the trio.I spent 7 nights dressed up like harry potter waiting anxiously for the release of every book. I spent hours outside in cold, snow, rain, you name it, just to get a seat at a midnight showing. I will always miss those fun midnight adventures. I grew up knowing Ginny Weasley loved Harry Potter and hitting up upside the head when he refused to be with her to keep her safe. I grew up taking Dumbledore's words of wisdom. I grew up hating and liking Snape at the same time. I grew up wishing my letter would come in the mail, even though I'm 19. I grew up falling in love with the Twins and bawling my eyes out so much I couldn't finish the books. Harry Potter is a bit of everyone, and we're all horribly sad to see it end. If I could have it my way, we would keep having harry potter books and movies, but everything needs to end once in a while, and now that it will always be a childhood memory, it will always be inside of us. And even when were 45 with children, we will still silently wish we could make everything do it's own thing with a flick of a wand, and giggle at the thought of it. Harry Potter has changed our world so much, and I thank Jo for giving us all the opportunity to be part of that journey! Hogwarts will always be there for me when I need it the most, and even though we're saying good bye to long time friends, they will always be there for us. :)
