What does Harry Potter mean to me? Hmmm.... Well I've known Harry Potter and his story since I was 7 years old. Reading his adventures and going with him on the big screen and what J.K. Rowling wrote just really hit me when I was young. People used to say I looked like Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) when I was younger, and I guess I formed a bond between Harry, the character and myself. What they felt, is what I felt. It sounds weird, but when you're with these characters, friends, enemies, even Voldemort, more Tom Riddle than anything, you feel sorry for these people and what they lived through when they were young and what they sacrificed for others for the greater good, besides Voldemort. When Snape killed Dumbledore, when Hedwig, Dobby, Moody, Fred, Tonks, Lupin, Sirius, Snape, and others died during the series, a part of me weeps for them, while another part of me is glad Rowling put this in her stories because life isn't fair and it wouldn't be as exciting if they all lived. I mean that's why they have unforgivable curses, especially "avada kedavra," the killing curse. It's sort of hard to describe something that I loved since I was little, and I'm not going to say I'm the biggest fan out there, but I do appreciate what Rowling did for us so many years ago, and what Dan, Rupert, and Emma did for all of us as fans to see it before our eyes, and thanks to all the fans who helped Rowling finish perhaps the greatest story of all time.
