Harry potter to me, means the journey of understanding love, of how, no matter how impossible and hard it may seem, love can conquer everything, and though not caring can seem easier, t is not easy, either to stop caring or to live without being cared for. It is not a story of superhuman strength, it is a story of a boy is left behind, but left behind with love. It may, at times, have seemed easier to have died that day when Voldemort came to kill him, but Harry learns that through loving, and being loved he can overcome the fear and the hard times through the love that allowed him to be born in the first place. It is not about overcoming death itself, and being able to protect those you love forever more, but that you have to except mortality and understand that being able to love is the reward itself, and that the grief we feel when we lose someone is not weakness but part of the amazing, and unexplainable thing that is love. And to me that has helped me overcome the fears of life, even when you feel that fear and pain, it helps you understand that grief is part of loving someone, grief is not logical and therefore we can't just tell ourselves the facts and expect it to stop, but helping me to understand that death is not to be feared is something i shall always be grateful for.
