(So I never did a review of this and am deciding to add one now.)
I'm a Millennial, and like most Millennials, I grew up with Harry Potter. Not just the books, but we kinda aged with him (or thereabouts). It's a coming of age story for our whole generation, whether or not we received our Hogwarts letters.
And we were there together. We were at midnight release parties and movie theaters, lined up and excited to share in the adventure. I can't think of the number of people who I've bonded with over these stories--people who I wouldn't have thought to have much in common with in the first place. We came from all different backgrounds, much like the 4 houses, and joined in the Battle of Hogwarts.
We mourned the deaths of beloved characters.
And cheered on the sheer wit and bravery of others.
We debated what Harry should have done with the Elder Wand.
But we never let go of this world. We continue to relive these memories through fan fiction, arts and crafts, music, food and drink, and .
Being that it came out nearly a decade ago, I think it holds up pretty well.

Btw what house did you get sorted into on Pottermore? Did it stay true to what you believed? I always believed I was Gryffindor and in Pottermore I got Hatstalled which is rare between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw so I chose Griffindor. Everyone I knew were pissed that I got an option like Harry.

I didn't read the entire series until a few months before Deathly Hallows Part 1 was going to released. I had only read the first three at that point and decided that I needed to know the ending before anyone could spoil it for me. When I finished the series I realized it is one of the best children series of all time and it took me 3 months after for me to be able to read another book which turned out to be The Hunger Games. I went to Harry Potter studio in London last year and I felt like a little kid again. This series brings so much wonderful feelings for me. I think I need to reread the series and write the reviews. Thank you! :)
