Harry Potter the series as a whole means childhood to me, because it was my childhood, but it also means the loss of innocence and the natural development into maturity. It's the only thing I've ever known to grow as I grew, and to mature as I matured. It means a magical world, the last glimmer of fantasy I still believe in, but it also means the reality of life, death, love, and sacrifice. It is both the representation of childhood, youth, and naivete as well as adulthood, growth, and maturity.
