Harry Potter has giving me the opportunity to enjoy another life that I will unfortunately never have the chance to experience fully. J.K. Rowling had me hooked with the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone when I first read it in sixth grade. Each book after has not only opened up my imagination to a whole other world, it has opened a whole other world in my heart. In less than 36 hours I will be seeing the one movie that matters most to me in the entire world. It will not only be one of the greatest days of my life, but the saddest. My absolute best friend in the entire world, our friendship was started over Harry Potter; before we only had the occasional "Happy Birthday" on Facebook. Then after returning from serving overseas last year, I asked her if she would be my Harry Potter buddy for The Deathly Hallows Part 1, and our friendship has exploded to say the least. In fact there was one time I wrote her an entire college paper on Quidditch (20 minutes before her class) and she aced her paper! I also remember the day Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the book came out, I was the only one who got to the Navy Exchange early for its release. I went and picked up my book, walked over to the Sbarro's and sat down all day until I finished it. The only time I got up from that chair was for more food, I refused to get up if I didn't have to. This is especially odd considering I've never read another book outside of my time spent in school. I hate reading, and I've never found a single book that I can stay interested in, but, for some reason Harry Potter draws me back all the time. I've just finished reading all the books again, just in time for Part 2! Well, before I type too much (which I could easily sit here and type hours about Harry Potter), I am just going to simply say that Harry Potter means everything to me
