It is so much more than a story

This story is more than just a craze. It’s more than just a popular movie. This story changed lives. I grew up with the characters. I felt their pain and cried for their deaths. This story helped shaped me into who I am.

I learned that I can’t make it alone, and don’t have to from Harry. I understood what he was feeling when he wanted to just do it all on his own and save everyone else the hurt. And when Hermionie and Ron wouldn’t let him I felt his relief mixed with the guilt. They taught me that it was okay. That it was okay to let other people in, to let other people help.

The Weasleys showed me how important family is. That they are the people that matter most and that in the end you owe them everything. The bond that they all share is unbreakable and reading about it and watching it come to life on screen made me so so great-full for the people in my life.

This story is all about love. In all its forms. The importance of it and what it can do. Its purity. Its beauty.

Its about people. Friendship. Trust.

This story did so much for me. I cannot express how much thanks and gratitude I have for everyone involved. For J.K Rowling.

Hogwarts will always feel like home.

“Albus Severus,” Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, “you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.”

— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows)
