I grew up on Harry Potter. When I read the first book, I was still too young to join Hogwarts. My 8th birthday party was Harry Potter themed, and it was amazing. It was my best birthday party ever. When my 11th birthday came, I dreamed about getting my Hogwarts acceptance letter. I read all the books and have seen all the movies, including the newest one. As the books became more mature, so did I. I preordered the last book, and waited outside for it to arrive, half expecting it to arrive by owl. Now I am 15, and am planning another amazing Harry Potter party for my sweet 16. Harry Potter is amazing in so many ways. It has made me feel incredible joy. Despair, disgust and hate. Love. Wonder. There is so much depth in the Harry Potter books. Every place, every spell, every character, is full of magic. It has reintroduced reading to a generation that generally prefers to watch TV or play video games.
