Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was the first "grown up book" that i ever read. ever since then Harry Potter has been my life. I have grown up with the actors and seen/read every book a billion times. I feel as though I have a personal connection with each character as I have grown up along side them. of course my favorite characters are fred and george and when fred died, i cried for who knows how long. Not a single person in my family understands my obsession and sense of belonging with harry potter. my brother read half of the books but to me that is awful because you half to read every word of J.K. Rowling's brilliant masterpieces. Im majorly excited for the last movie to release and I am seeing it at midnight but im really depressed about it too. I dont want the magic to end, but of course it wont because i plan to read all of the harry potter books to my children some day. Next week i am planning a trip to L.A. so that i can visit the spot where Dan, Rupert and Emma put their handprints. Its going to be amazing to see the place where they stood. I wish i was lucky enough to be an actor in the movies because that would have been the most amazing experience (but id need an british accent). The last thing i need to fulfill my harry potter obsession is too go to the WWoHP and to meet all of the actors plus Jo Ro. of course the theme park seems like a much more manageable feat. even though the franchise is coming to a close i know that i will always have harry potter. some of my most prized possessions are my books (all seven plus the tales of beedle the bard), all seven movie posters, and my time turner necklace. i just hope my children love it as much as i do because i want them to pass it on to their kids so that harry potter becomes a legend like it has been to so many of us.
