The Harry Potter has been an amazing series to both read as well as see in the movie theater. It has meant watching characters who face human conflict and fear rise to meet it -- and then go beyond it. I think that's an extraordinary example to set for all of us. Yes, they are characters and, yes, the events themselves are not real. But between the writing and the films, we have been drawn into their world thoroughly and seen on a grander scale what each person must do on a smaller scale in his or her own life each day.
