This is an amazing endeavor I encourage anyone that Harry Potter means something to become involved in. I personally, over think absolutely everything I do, and can never make a decision on anything, have been thinking about this all night.


How do you say thank you to someone who had brought you something as immense as the Harry Potter fandom? And continues to surprise and expand on it (aka Pottermore, which we'll talk more on later).


I feel like I'm 15 again, trying to come up with a speech for my sweet 16 candles; thanking my parents and everyone else for.... For what? Thanks for driving me to school? Cooking me dinner? Supporting me at my games? These are memories, yes, but how do you thank someone for who they are? For being there, for existing. For the fact my life is better because of the quality of their person.


Thank you J.K. Rowling, for existing? It's a little weird, and not what I'm trying to get across.


Thank you J.K. Rowling, for writing books that became more than just books, they were not just a part of my life anymore, my life was a part of it.


Thank you for giving me a place to escape to. Thank you for being so detailed that there are never ending possibilities to my imagination. Thank you for creating something that has completely changed my life. Thank you for giving birth to characters that I have fallen in love with, that I can connect with. Thank you for giving me the ability to be passionate about something that to other people in the world  doesn't even exist. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for making magic real. Thank you for articulating love, for portraying heart wrenching grief, for keeping faith in friendship. Thank you for Dumbledore's quotes, for Harry's blind love and courage, for Hermione's determination, for the Marauder's infallible loyalty. Thank you for Sirius. Thank you for giving me my firsts; my first passion, my first love, my first loss... And thank you for being there now, when it seems like we're losing everything, its all ending, and telling us it will never be out last.


Thank you, J.K. Rowling, for everything.
