Ten more days until the very last Harry Potter movie. Ten more days until I cry hysterically and my mother tells me to stop being stupid. Ten more days until.....THE END OF MY LIFE.
Okay, it's not that dramatic, but still. (warning: if you don't enjoy the amazingness of Harry Potter stop reading now and go do something productive with your life)
These books seriously changed my life, even though that sounds extremely corny, it's true. I use to HATE reading so much. I abhored it and anything to do with it. I would burn and shoot books if allowed. But then in 5th grade, I picked up Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban--yeah, I didn't really read the books in order at first--and I fell in LOVE with it. I started to read all the other books in the series and possibly became who I am today. I started to love to learn new words, and I had a whack at writing, which I learned I wasn't too bad at, and I learned to think more philosophically about things. Of course my character was defined even more in middle school, but Harry Potter brought out the fundamentals.
After I read all of those I thought, "Hey, not all books are crap." so I started reading more and more. I was literally drowning in all the books I borrowed from the library. I obviously demanded that my mother buy me books too. She was so surprised by my sudden change that she obliged and bought me some. I think she regrets that decision to this day though xD I buy like three books everytime we go out. My dad had to build me another bigger bookshelf, but there's about to be no space left on that one either.
So, yeah, Harry Potter got me into reading and writing. Two things that basically make up who I am. Without books and a way of writing I don't even know who I would be. Maybe I would be that teenager who goes to raves o.0 who knows. But anyway, the thing that made me who I am (for the most part) is going to END IN TEN FRIKKIN' DAYS. My heart is sad :( boo. There will be no more witty Ron moments, no more brave acts by Harry, and no more smart remarks from Hermione. It's all going to end, just like that. At least I'll still have the DVD's...
And if you don't like Harry Potter, then I really don't care, but don't say it's pathetic or lame how it changed me. What changed you? Your friends? How is that any different than a book changing me? It still happened, didn't it? So why does it matter how? If you judge me, then you're lame yourself :P
