What Harry Potter means to me? Everything. It means a lot more to me than anyone realizes. It's my escape from the real world. I grew up with Harry Potter,from having the first book read to me chapter by chapter when I was in kindergarten to waiting in line at midnight to get the final book or see the last movie. I don't think I could have made it through half the things I did without this series. I gave me hope and a belief that magic, friendship, and so much more did in fact exist. I learned that good can triumph over evil and love can conquer all. I read the books at least four times a year. I read them when I'm upset, happy or just bored. They're my go to books. I've gotten the books the day they came out since the fourth or fifth book (I was too young to get them right away before that, I'm only 16), went to almost all of the midnight movie premieres and read or watched all j.k. Rowling's interviews.Basically I'm trying to say I am in love with the Harry Potter series and grew up with it. The books were there to enchant me when I was too young to read and are still here all these years later to put a smile on my face when no one/thing else can.
