Harry Potter is more than just a book series to me. It is my whole childhood. I started reading Harry Potter in elementary school and now I am 23. So for about 11 years or more. This was something that I started with my cousin who passed away in 2003 from a car accident. We would read the books and go see the movies as they came out, but now that she is in heaven it is one of the few things that I have left of her that I can keep experiencing. Since, I can never hear her voice again, but I can reread Harry Potter forever and remember how we first felt when we read them and the excitement it brought to our lives. Not only does Harry Potter symbolize my childhood, but also it is a symbol of the best epic hero there is. Harry could have given up at any moment, but he never did! And for these reasons and more, "I have stuck with Harry until the very end" and I will always be with him. Thank you, J.K. Rowling for everything. You're amazing. God bless.
