I started reading the first book when I was stuck in bed recovering from a miscarriage during my first pregnancy 11 years ago. I was absolutely heartbroken and the book was really able to lift my spirits and gave me something to become absorbed in. I took off work on opening day of the 1st movie and cried in the theater, in happiness and in remembrance of the circumstances surrounding the first book. My oldest child just turned nine the day before this final movie came out and is an avid Harry Potter fan. We've seen all the movies together and he's reading the books now too. I can't even describe what this series means to me. It is so intertwined with my son and me that I am so indescribably sad that it is over. To me it will always be a remembrance of my son's childhood and an entire era in my life.
