[Editor's Note: It's the last Harry Potter Summer. I just took a few days off and finished re-reading the Harry Potter series. I'm excited about the final movie but also sad because it really is the end. Are you re-reading the books? Do you have your tickets to see the movie? - Karen]
It's a Very Harry Summer OR What Harry Means to Me

And then, the books were actually good. They were well-written, funny, with deep meaning behind the magical hijinks, and that whole lovely fun imaginative world with all these new words – Muggles, Quidditch, spells of presumably Latin or Greek derivation, and so much more. The underdog met true and good new friends, and found a world in which he belonged.
