To me, Harry Potter is a well crafted, coming-of-age story about a boy who grew through his adversity. This is because I was only recently introduced to it through my girlfriend. To her, Harry Potter is her childhood. It is some of her happiest and saddest memories. She recently told me about how she waited anxiously for her 11th birthday and how disappointed she was when her acceptance letter never came. She told me how she tried to cast spells when she was younger, and how she convinced others that she was the female Harry Potter by showing them the scar on her forehead and her large red gemstone. To her, Harry Potter is so much more than a story. It is an outlet for her imagination, a source of wisdom when she needs help, and a solace when she is upset. To her, Harry Potter is what every story should strive to be.
