To me, Harry Potter means home. I first became involved in the fandom when I was going through a tough time in my life, and without Harry and the friends I made through him I don't know if I would have gotten through it. Harry Potter teaches you that (to quote the movie), "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." Harry Potter isn't about magic or war, rather it's about friendship, courage, and love. I'm not a fan of the books because they're fun (even though they really are), but they're about a life we all want-a life ruled by the best of friends and striving for the extraordinary.
