Harry Potter has meant a great deal to me, since the books were all I had for the first few years after I moved to California from Germany. The books provided me with a sort of escape for I knew that I could always fall back on some amazing reading when times got rough. But mainly, what Harry Potter truly means to me is that the world J. K. Rowling crafted over more than a decade of books, is so rich in back story yet it leaves enough room for you to let your mind wander and think about the details that you yourself can create in this magical world. I grew up with Harry Potter and this is the single most influential novel that I have read in my life up to this point. Harry Potter has brought such wonderful memories and having watched the conclusion of the movies yesterday I realized that these novels will stay with me forever. That is the reason for why Harry Potter means so much to me.
