How Harry Potter changed my life
I still remember the segments of my childhood by Harry Potter book release dates,
which – magically – happened to correspond 1________ each of my family’s many
moves. At eight years old, my immersion 2________ the world of Hogwarts
distracted me from the childhood anguish of moving across the US. Upon arriving
in Virginia from Ohio, Goblet of Fire was published. An otherwise lonely summer
turned into an adventure, as I reread the books for clues to 3________ unsolved
mysteries, getting better acquainted with the characters who had become my
friends.
The Harry Potter books gave me hope for a magical future – a home, a place to
be wanted and cherished, and a purpose: fighting for what I believed in 4________
a true Gryffindor. Sure they’re about witchcraft and wizardry, but they’re extras,
atop a solid foundation of the 5________ of magic that is very much rooted in the
real world.
Moving and reading became routine: I 6________ to collect and devour my new
book, then find a corner of our new house to claim as my “cupboard under the
stairs” 7________ I would store my collected Potter treasures. The experience
surrounding the books meant just as much to me 8________ their content. I found
in Hermione a likeminded learning enthusiast, reassuring me that 9________ were
kids like me out there. 10________ friends at this shy stage of my life was made easy
by the characters we had in common.
