Harry Potter was the story of a lifetime, the kind of story that children go to bed hoping to dream of as they sleep. I went to bed every night with a Harry Potter book on the night stand. A new one was rented from the library nearly every week even though it'd already been read before. When the movies were made the books lost no value only then they had the company of voice acting in the background while they were being re-read. To me Harry Potter is a marker of a generation, a generation that is now ending. With the last movie being made, it brings a conclusion to the most amazing thing to have happened for the children of the 90s whose music is now being played on the classic rock stations on the radio. With the conclusion of the movies the generation has only one thing left to look forward to, and that's making their own experiences. Growing up with Harry Potter was a once in a lifetime chance, and now Harry Potter can continue to enrich lives of children everywhere by sparking them to read and act, and teaching them the values that is important to one growing up in such a tough world. To me Harry Potter not only marks a generation of before but also is the beginning of all the generations to come. A landmark on a timeline of life.
