The equation that sums everything up goes like this: Harry Potter equals life. To put it simply I, like, many grew up with the series. I grew attached to the characters. I really knew them. They weren't like my best friends, but rather they were my best friends. I really got into the series during my middle school years, and those were some of the roughest years of my life. However, Harry Potter changed that. The book gave me something to look forward to, and I couldn't be anymore grateful for that. When I had the worst days I would read my Harry Potter book, and they would take me away from it all. I was sucked into the world and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was always so hard to put the books down, even after reading them about a million times each. It wasn't about wishing Harry Potter was real. I never wished because it was always real to me. Though the series has finally come to an end with the final movie installment the legacy of Potter will never die. He'll always be in our hearts, and with such sincere and enthusiastic fandom everyone will still be hearing about Potter for years to come. We are going to make sure Harry Potter lives on.
