First, no words can describe how proud I am to have been part of the Potter Generation. I met half my friends through Harry. It is my childhood. I have been a Potterhead since the age of 5(10 years) and will be 'until the very end.' Harry taught me to enjoy reading and how important it is to use your imagination. It taught me that death is not something to be feared, that love always conquers all and to always choose what is right over what is easy. When people say I'm mad, I consider it a compliment. Reading Harry gave me a place to go. During year 7 I always sat by myself at lunch and morning tea reading the series. I sunk into the world, stood beside Harry in every fight/duel, felt the embarassment, happiness, sadness, excitement, nervousness, fear and love of every character and as Harry walk towards his death in The Forest Again, I felt that I too was walking slowly and surely towards the end. I felt his heart beating next to mine, heard his sharp breaths in my ears and truly felt I was experiencing all this with Harry. We have all experienced this with Harry and together. Harry has united an amazing magical generation of people. And when the end finally came, I just can't put that into words, this decade for me has been absolutely magical. Harry will forever be in my heart.
