To sum up how Harry Potter has affected my life…

Harry is my childhood, my hedwig. He is my best Friend, my brother. He is my drive home, he is my run away.

Harry is my teacher, my Dumbledore. He has introduced me to life, he has taught my death. He clings to my thoughts, he has my day.

Harry has comferted my nightmares, He has inspired my dreams. He has put lights in the fog , he is lights in the dark. He has given courage, he has given me my heart.

He is, perhaps, me.

Harry Potter is an emotional series for me. I have been through a lot since the first book and the series have been a solace to me. Just like Jo, I look forward to re-living Harry Potter by reading aloud to my 6 year old daughter, who has seen the movies, but doesn’t yet know how magical the books are. I guess I’ll be able to read her the first 3 books, and by the time we’re done with that, she’ll probably be old enough to take over the rest of the books by herself.

i have just written an amazing about 400 word mini essay about hp and me however it wouldnt let me save it and it got lost in the cyber world of my computer. It really made me realsie what hp has given to me – it hasnt ‘changed me life’ but made a pretty big dent. It kinda feel like fate that it wouldnt let me save cus i dont really need to write it out again to prove to the world what hp has done for me cus now i realise the amazing friends i have got from the series not just ron, hermione and harry but some of my best eqaully-obsessed friends in real life too and that will go further than anything really. This is also my last year in high school and writting that lil bit has made me relaised i need to make the most of it with my friends!

So thanks leaky for your hp input (and mugglenet and ew.net lol) and most of all JKR for her amazing imagination!

that probably sounds like total crud but i dont … really… care!

woop all hp fans!! xx
