Dear Harry

Dear Harry,

When you saw that flash of green light, a sinister laugh knocking in your ears and a searing pain on your forehead, did you ever think that you would start childhoods and set souls ablaze?

When you were locked in your cupboard after your awful aunt and uncle refused to give you dinner, again, did you know that you would soon have millions of children smile at the sound of your name?

When you were on the train to Hogwarts, and you met your best friend Ron, did you ever wonder that we were all on the train with you, we were all excited to go to school with you, and we were estatic to be sorted into our proper houses?

Whenever you felt like you were all alone in the world, did you know that we all stood up, applauded and cheered you on, with grins outstretching the world, tears rushing down our cheeks and glasses similar to yours on our faces?

When you were terrified and thought that you had truly met your sticky end, did you know that millions of people would dress up exactly like you, your friends and your enemies in remembrance of your epic and incredible journey?

Did you know that you have given us so much more than a story?
And as the eighth, and final, movie hit the theaters, do you know that millions of Muggles were in tears at the sight of the ending credits, raising up their makeshift wands, crying out, 'Mischief Managed'?

There will never be a story like yours again. There will never be the same joy, magic and whimsy with each waking word and each page turning.

Harry James Potter, we love you and we always will.
