It's a bold claim to take ownership of seven books that are treasured by readers of all ages, in over 70 languages. After all, my parents have been reading the books to me, and at my side, from the Sorcerer's Stone to the Deathly Hallows. Still, I am a part of the Harry Potter generation: a collection of young adults around 20 years old who were young enough when the books came out to truly believe in magic. The evidence? My childhood was spent playing Quidditch on Rollerblades, making wands out of chopsticks with my mom, and teaching my friend Janet how to defend herself from boggarts. After the release of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, my older brother, Nat, scared me by writing threats from the Basilisk in chalk on the wooden fence in our back yard. I've read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone well over a dozen times.
