What does Harry Potter mean to me? It just means my whole life to me. I still remember arriving at school one normal day, was about 9 or 10 years old, my Godmother apporached me and handed to me the first 3 books, and I was like "um.. thanks" and she said, "this is for you to read them, you'll love them". I'e never been much of a reader, I have trouble concentrating. So, I got back to my house and I put the books away. November 16, 2001 was the day I saw the 1st movie, The Sorcerer's Stone. Since then I fell in love with the characters, the story line, the special effects, and the cautionary tale behind all of it, Dumbledore's advices at the end of every book/movie are the most moving, enlighting quotes I've ever heard or read anywhere. Of course after I saw the movie I started reading the books. I was 13 years old by then. When I got to The Prisoner of Azkaban, I loved it so much that I read it 3 times in one week, and 3 more times the night before the big movie release, which, till this date, remains my favorite book/movie of all the series. I sticked to the reading until I reached The Deathly Hallows, I read it again recently, 4 days ago and I just find it amazing, it is one of the best books I've ever read, and it is the only series of books I've ever read in my whole life. That's what Harry Potter means to me, my childhood, my teenage days, it helped me improve my imagination, my level of concentration, and it created a love of reading this amazing books. Whenever I feel sad, or lonely, or just want to relax and not seeing anybody I get into them. That was the reason I re-read The Deathly Hallows, I said, "I want a me time" so I grabbed it and started reading it again, Harry Potter means a lot to me, and at least for me, the last movie doesn't mean that I won't be seeing Harry Potter again, it'll live within me forever, as Jo Rowling said "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home" well, indeed I know Hogwarts will always be there to welcome me back home everytime I open the book, or push play to watch one of the movies or just close my eyes and think about it and just gly away with my imagionation into the magical world of Harry Potter.
