Harry Potter's larger than life story means more than simply the power of good over evil. It means what power your past has over you, but even more so, it means what power your decisions have over your future. It means growing up and accepting responsibility. It means being fearless, but being harmless. It means love and it means friendship. For many of us, it means fourteen powerful years of obsessive and enchanting page-turning as well as frantic cinema ticket rushes. It means excitement to the point of dressing up in Gryffindor and Slytherin colors and drawing lightning bolts on foreheads just to wait in lines at Barnes & Noble midnight parties. But to me, more than anything else, Harry Potter means childhood, and its end means truly coming of age. Ultimately, it means magic.
