I read the first book as soon as it came into the library, and every book as soon as it came into the library. Even though I could never afford to have my own copy of one of the books, in a way it made the world of Harry Potter even more magical to me because I could borrow entry into it for only a short time. The world of Harry Potter shows the embodiment of all the best parts of human nature: courage, intelligence, friendship, love; but also shows the darkest parts of human nature: envy, greed, power, disregard for human life; of which the contrast is necessary to give value to each good aspect. I think we as a generation have played witness to and participant in an all-encompassing fantasy world which has an impact that has never been seen before, and will never be seen again. The confidence in the human spirit and endurance that has been placed in us by this by these books and movies is unsurpassable and should be cherished. We have been part of something phenomenal, the likes of which will never be replicated.
