In 1997, the first book was published of a series that would find a home in people's hearts. J.K Rowling released an incredible story telling tales of dragons, feasts, dark forests, flying cars, moving trees, and a game called Quidditch. We decided which house we should be sorted into: Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor. We fell in love with her characters: Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter. We defeated Voldemort... and Dolores Umbridge. Harry Potter will forever be in our hearts and minds: "Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it's not real." Here are some quotes that will be in our hearts, always...
