For me, Harry has become synonymous with finding myself. My parents outlawed Harry Potter in our house until I was 17. It was then that I begged my dad to let me read the books, and he decided I would probably read worse in college. When I look at the books and the people who have shaped my world view and who I am today all roads seem to lead back to the moment I picked up book one and started reading.
