Like Albus Dumbledore said, just because it's in your head doesn't mean it's not real. I can understand that perfectly, because that's kind of what Harry Potter means to me. I went thorough a lot this year, failing, cutting, heartbreak. And although the Harry Potter books doesn't exactly address any of these subjects / topics, they somehow make me feel better about it. Failing? You can always get back up, the seventh book relates to that when Harry dies, and he has a choice of coming back or moving on... we have to be strong. Cutting? The fifth book, Harry's going thorough some kind of depressive and angry state thanks to Lord Voldemort. Lord Voldemort represents the pressures of life for me. Heartbreak? His parents died, Cho went with Diggory to the Ball, he had to leave Ginny. Maybe it was being addressed directly, but Harry was always able to move on. It's the real magic of it - you can relate, you can love. Hogwarts will always be my home.
