Harry Potter is more than just a book or a movie to me. It's provided me with an imaginary escape from life, if even for just a little while, to live in a fantasy world where anything is possible. My whole life I've imagined myself casting spells right there next to Harry, reading in a library with Hermione, or just messing around with Ron in the Gryffindor common room. Harry Potter, to me, is my childhood. Something that caused me to laugh, to smile, and to even cry. I've dreamed of actually sipping Butterbeer, walking through Hogsmead, and most importantly visiting Hogwarts itself. Harry Potter is not just a book, it's something that has shaped my childhood into what it is today, and I'm proud to say that I've been hooked since i read that first line: "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much." Even though I could go on for paragraphs about what Harry Potter means to me, I'll sum it up with this: Harry Potter is a fantastical series that I will cherish forever, a story that not only did I grow up with, but I will continue to love until the day that I die.
