Harry Potter: My Literary Hero

Harry Potter is my literary hero. Not only did he survive death, he survived out of love. That sends a positive message through the fantasy world to reality, in my opinion. Living in a home where all Harry receives from his foster family is hate and spite, he still manages to be brave, even through the harshest of words.
            Through the past seven years of my life, Harry Potter has imbued me with the fantasy world that sprung my imagination: what if Hogwarts really is real, what if wizards, witches, muggles and dark lords really do exist, and what if there really was a magical game called Quittidge. These questions and more are partly what took up my childhood.
            Although Harry’s quest is to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort, he still has time to have fun and joke around. He depends greatly on the help of his friends and succeeds in all the difficult tasks that come his way. Harry loses his parents when he is only a baby, so he has never experienced the feeling of having a real family. But he does find that out from the love and friendship he shares with Hermione and Ron.
