I have no idea where to even start! You have inspired me in so many ways. I first read Harry Potter when I was seven years old and fell in love with it. Harry Potter made me become a reader and although I’ve read many books and series, Harry Potter is still my favorite. The novel taught me so many lessons and I appreciate it so much because I have become a better person. You also taught me magic is real and inside us all, even if it’s not in a wizarding way. You have also inspired me; because of your wonderful writing I started writing when I was a child. Also, because Harry Potter was such a hit, when it became a movie it sparked my interest in creating movies (behind the camera). Honestly, without your work on Harry Potter, I don’t know what career I would want now. More than anything, I was to write and create movies, so thank you for creating Harry Potter. Also, Harry Potter has been such a big part of my life and yes, I realize so many people have said this, but it’s true. I loved watching all the characters grow, especially Ron and Neville. All the characters feel so real! I remember I hated Snape so much when I first started reading the series, but when I found out more about him I loved him. He’s one of my favorites now. I wish I could tell you who all of my favorite characters are but it would be a LONG list because I love most of them, but my #1 favorite character since the first book is Ron! Oh, and I’m not sure if others agree, but I think Lockhart is a great character! He is funny although he is a fake. I even cried when some of the characters died. I wish they could have lived because some of them were some of my favorites. Also, although this sounds very corny, when I was a kid I put myself into the series as a character because I loved Harry Potter so much. That was my way of going to Hogwarts and even ‘til this day, my Harry Potter self still lives on in my head. I know so much about her and where she came from because I want to live up to the characters in the series! I even hope to get two dogs when I have the money and I want to get one black dog and name him Sirius (I want to name the other Typhoon) You also amaze me so much! You really thought out your entire Harry Potter universe. Everything happened for a reason and have some sort of connection to the story. All the characters (even minor characters) have grown so much, they’re like real people. Also, besides all the Harry Potter things I have mentioned, you seem like such a nice woman. You are so dedicated and that inspires me to go on everyday for my dreams. I’m so sad the Harry Potter series is over, but I really look forward to any future writing that you have. I will read it for sure! In my opinion, you are one of the greatest writers of all time, with one of the best series of all time. Hopefully, I will be able to meet you because you really inspired me as a person and you are one of the people I look up to. I siriusly hope that I can meet you! (crossing fingers!) Oh, I am also very thankful for another thing. After years of trying, I finally got my little brother (he’s nine) to read the books instead of only watching the movies, and he recently finished the first and is on the second right now. He LOVES the book! Before he said he’d rather watch the movie (because he hated reading) but now he always wants to read the book. So, thank you for writing Harry Potter because he hated reading before and now loves it! You honestly have made such an impact on my life and also my siblings life. My brother, sister, and I talk about Harry Potter all of the time. We took sorting hat tests and we are all proud of our houses! My sister (15) is a VERY proud Hufflepuff, my brother (9) is a proud Ravenclaw, and I (18) am a very proud Gryffindor! I know the houses aren’t real, but it’s fun to pretend Hogwarts is real, right? I wish it was real sometimes, I would love to go! (Although, I couldn’t because I live in America and I’m too old now) I know I have gone on and on, so I guess I’ll stop here. Although, I wish I could say so much more. I just wanted to let you know how much of an impact you have had on my life, even others. Thank you so much and good luck with all of your future writings! I love forward to them.

Love, Dionna Jackson 18 CA, USA.

I confess that when I got that book at the time of my birthday … never crossed my mind that it would change so much in my life, it was all so inexplicable, so magical, so real, when I realized it was completely in love with the story of the boy who survived, all the characters have already won life inside me, it was everything so fast. Joanne Rowling, the magic you brought to the Muggle world, showed everyone the importance of true friendship, love, family, brought us wisdom. Thanks to you I made new friends, discovered a new world. Joanne Rowling ♥. The woman who brought him in dreams, dreams and more dreams. Do not know if I’ll ever be able to thank her personally for everything! Not all words in the world together explain how I feel when I hear the name Joanne Rowling. Each day that passes, I admire you more Diiva. THANK YOU! Simply Thank you for all the laughs over pages, all shed tears, thank you for every time that made ​​me happy, because I experienced every emotion;

Love, Isabela Martins.

All this love is past vice, is past critical. This love is already in the condition of necessity. 

Because I can not imagine waking up without thinking about the essence of green eyes, the joy of red hair and so benevolent wisdom of lanzudos brown hair. 

When I feel bad, not a hug, a kiss or a word of comfort that will soothe me. But 3291 pages of pure magic. 

When they feel pain I feel, too, when they smile I smile back and when they cry, their tears become my own. 

Maybe platonic, but love. 

They say that the series that both delights me is not real. It may not be true for many, but for me it is. 

Not because it is impossible that is not real. Perhaps it is real only in my mind, my heart, but still real. For me, real. 

People say that addiction does me no good, I do not bring benefits. Again, nonsense. Before my dear friend, also completely addicted to it that I call life, I present the perfect series of books that I so badly need today, I just existed. After my introduction to this different world as friendly and was delighted that I began to live. Are the countless tears I shed at the time it appears the dreaded end on the movie screen. See the Hogwarts Express from the last time I will cause a pain that lacinante can not express in mere words. 

But as many are saying will be the end of a story, but the beginning of a legend. A legend, I believe, that cross the boundaries of eternity. Why, Harry Potter, there boundaries that courage, fun, pain, evil, joy, grace and magic found in his books and movies can not overcome. 

End of a series, the beginning of a remembrance and a timeless love me. 

And all this, I just have to thank Miss Rowling.

Love, Isabela Martins.

Where do I begin? The little idea that just popped into your head one fine morning on a train became a worldwide bestseller, and it changed the lives of millions of people, including mine for the better. It taught us values like bravery, courage, friendship, fearlessness, and love. With each book we felt a connection to all the characters, and to this day not one book has made me feel more connected to the characters than the whole saga of Harry Potter.

I started reading Harry Potter when I was 8 years old, beginning with the Chamber of Secrets. On discovering Harry, Ron, Hermione and the magical world in Hogwarts, Diagon Alley etc. I was immediately hooked. I went back, and read the whole series. Being an avid reader, I always searched for new books, because I would grow bored of reading the same ones over and over again, but Harry Potter is the exception. Each time I read any of the books, I am scared, surprised, happy, excited, sad and mystified, like I’m reading it for the first time. My mom even said “Why do you keep reading it? Go do something better!”. I would reply with a mere “Because it’s worth reading a million times. J K Rowling is amazing!” I would read on and on for hours and hours, and would savour each word. When the last book came out I read it with such feeling that I started crying at the end. This series is just so amazing I can’t even explain how wonderful it is. I’ve grown up with these books, and am so obsessed with them that just thinking about how it’s going to be all over in 2 months is scary. Luckily, we will always have them to read, re-read and cherish for the rest of our lives.

So on behalf of Potter fans everywhere, I’m just another one saying THANK YOU for bringing magic into our lives. :)

Love, Anushka, 13.

I just finished the Harry Potter series yesterday. And I think I just made a new friend, someone who can always be there to draw a smile in times of need, a friend who’s always ready to teach you a new lesson or to give a new advice.

Thank you for every word. Thank you for all of it.

Love, KA.

Although i feel like i can call you Jo. so many times i have started this letter with nowhere to send it, now i finally have the means to tell you just how grateful i am. when i was younger i didn’t have much confidence or anyone really to talk to, a lot of things went on that led me to be distant from my father and angry with my mother, through all this time i had Harry, Ron and Hermione. they were my best friends for a  long time and kind of still are. Harry taught me bravery, Ron taught me humor and loyalty and Hermione taught me that beauty isn’t everything. 

I’d like to thank you most for giving me my role models. the three women i look up too most in the world and adore with my whole heart. the first being the incredible Ginny Weasley, or should i say potter now? she is everything i want to be in a woman; fiery, passionate, courageous, beautiful, clever and loving. then there’s the incomparable Lily Potter who gave her life for her son, extremely talented and uncommonly kind, so full of love. again i woman i aimed base my personality on from the age of 6. Finally there’s you. my real life inspiration. you had nothing and you believed that your talent was special enough to depend on. that to me is the most incredible thing a person can do.

whether you care or not you have inspired my life so much that i live by your words. i have “Anything’s possible if you have enough nerve.” tattooed on my leg and intend to get “Rock bottom is a solid foundation on which i build my life.” in your honor.

thank you for helping me realize my talents and giving me the courage to  do something with them. im going to university in two years to study comedy writing and performance and i have you to thank for that. if the Weasley twins can do it why cant i?i too want to be remembered as “A woman who did the best with a talent she had.”

once again thank you Jo. thank you for Ginny, for Lily for my friends and for being you. Good luck for the future.

With love and deepest respects.

Mrs. Rowling, there are not enough adjectives in the world that I can put together - coherently, of course - to describe how truly wonderful of an individual you are. Your novels have left an eternal everlasting magical effect on my life.

When I was younger, I was besides Harry and Ron when they bailed Hermione out of the girls bathroom against that troll during their first year, I was there when Cedric died during year four; I was always with the trio, cheering them on. They were my friends and always will be. When I need a safe place to go to, I can turn to Hogwarts - this wonderful place you crafted.

I grew up alongside Daniel, Rupert, and Emma. As they aged in the filming process, so did I. This feels like the end of my childhood and it depresses me to no end. But, I know that if I ever need some sort of reassurance or need some light sledded onto my life durring a bleak time, I can crack open one of my Harry Potter books and start where I left off - with the famous trio I love - some say - entirely too much.

You are a true visionary and role model for millions of people around the globe. I cannot thank you enough for the happiness you have brought me. Thank you. Thank you, Mrs. Rowling. I love you.

With best wishes and tons of love,

Christina Monroe, South Florida.

Dear Joanne Kathleen Rowling,
I submitted this letter to the Dear Mr. Potter book but here it is again just in case it did not get in. With hope that you will receive this:

I am a 19 year old girl from southern California. I’m an artist, writer, and student working towards at least 3 different Masters degrees. One in Digital Art, another in Photography, and the last in English with an emphasis in writing. Plus I would like to get a minor in Psychology mainly to get a better understanding of where my characters are coming from when writing. I have already begun writing a book and another series. If it weren’t for Harry, I may have never gotten into reading or writing in the first place.

I grew up with a very strict family. My father always had business trips to travel back and forth from and I was an only child up until the age of seven. Everyone in school hated me or at least showed me nothing but teasing and prejudice. My teachers and even principle were the same for the most part. I was extremely naïve & extra loving and kind. This of course worked against me. By third grade, I had A.D.D., phobias, anxiety, and what one doctor called: “mathematical disorder” (meaning my mind cannot understand mathematics like anyone else can). I was taken out of school in 5th grade to be home schooled and put back in just three months after September 11, 2001 where the prejudice was worse than ever. I got beaten up several times in school, cursed out, ignored, laughed at, sent to the office for things I didn’t do or wasn’t guilty of, and put down worse than I ever had at the time.  Shortly after, my grandfather who I grew up with for half my life passed away (half way around the world) and after about a year of not having seen him. I began to become severely depressed. I wasn’t yet ten years old and I began scratching my arms until I saw blood. I never had heard anything of self-injury and I seriously thought I must be insane and totally unlike anyone else in the world. That year, after having seen the Potter books laying on almost every student’s desk since I was in 2nd grade, I saw one of the most popular girls in school hooked to the book like I had never seen anyone else hooked before. I watched her pass class time completely immersed in the book rather than staying with the lesson and skip her recess time to continue reading sitting just outside the classroom door and when the bell rang she still sat at her desk reading. All those years, I had stubbornly neglected the Harry Potter series thinking it was just some stupid “boys book” in fashion. After seeing that girl though, I became far too curious and decided to see what all the talk was about. I went to the school library and asked for the first book which was not in. I couldn’t wait and began reading The Prisoner of Azkaban which was available. I was deeply interested though I did not really understand what was going on. Finally I got to get my hands on the Sorcerer’s Stone and walked home reading every day completely lost in Harry’s world. I remember going home and after walking through the door I’d go directly to the stairs to sit and read. I remember being fascinated by the sensation of flying on a broomstick. As a child I always wanted to be invisible. Wished and wished for it. Fantasized and daydreamed about it. And then with Harry it was there with him. In 6th grade some serious incidents in school came along that sent me crying and begging at my mother’s feet every day to pull me out of that school and send me to a place where no one knew me. That never happened. However that next year, I was to enter middle school. I was granted my school of choice by the district where almost no one I knew attended. I started summer school there and between Harry Potter and my English teacher, I knew that I needed to write. That I was meant to write and that I wanted to become a writer. Finally the real school year began and even though I was still constantly made fun of there, none of the teachers or staff (except perhaps one) hated me. That school to me was heaven. I felt a whole fresh excitement. This also was the height of my Harry Potter reading addiction. I used to read while in class when I should have been listening or reading something else and even reading while walking from class to class. My teachers thoroughly knew my obsession for Harry Potter as I made it very clear to everyone. I signed every paper with “Harry Potter Rocks!“ or “#1 Harry Potter fan!“ or “I love Harry Potter!“. My history teacher had five class rules that had never been altered in all his time teaching. By the end of the year, he added a new rule that he said was in my honor that read “There will be no mention of Harry Potter, Hogwarts, or magical talk.“ (Or at least it went something like that). However my depression worsened and so did my parents quarreling. I really began to feel suicidal. I would scream “I want to die!” and similar stuff over and over again while crying on my bed. Every time though, I’d find a Harry Potter book right there with me. Without really thinking about it I’d grab a book and open to whichever page it landed on and start reading. I’d read and read. Whether it was five minutes or three hours I just read and read and I’d feel completely lost in this magical world that I so desperately wish existed and that so vividly felt real. I began reading into the night when I was supposed to be sleeping and finally when I did fall asleep, I’d sleep with Harry in my arms, under my pillow, or at my side.  I wrote more and more, mostly poetry during middle school and high school. I carried my journals where EVER I went. 

My life hit the deepest gutter possible during my high school years with so many multiple incidents that turned me around. By 10th grade I began having horrible panic attacks and self-injury habits on top of everything else. But I also had Harry Potter which gave me the gift of reading and writing. I also became determined to become an artist and had the best friends I could ever ask for. Friends that without, I could have ended up dead.

At this time, I am still just as dedicated a Potter fan as ever and have attended Harry Potter book and movie IMAX midnight showings as well as held my own Harry Potter Premier party complete with Hogwarts invitation replicas (complete with the nice old parchment look). I have made several pieces of Harry Potter drawings, wallpapers, music videos, etc. I have covered my room with Harry Potter pictures, posters, drawings, signs, and the like.  I  own all the Harry Potter Ultimate Edition movies that have come out, the Deluxe book Edition, Harry Potter journals, Harry Potter calendars, cookbook, film wizardry book, pop-up book, Harry’s school books hardcover with the boxed case and the paperback versions, Tales of Beetle The Bard, a Harry Potter email address, Harry Potter ordered ice cream cake, wristband, time-turner, wand (which snapped like Ron’s and I tried taping back and ended up hand making my own new wand), poster book, locket, lollipops, key chains, shirts, and so much more. I was one of the main founders of the Harry Potter group in my high school called “Muggles United“.  I made our sign and to this day have it hanging on my closet wall. I even painted my own Harry Potter shirts for myself and my friend, and sell them. I am re-reading the whole series again. I lost track of how many times I’ve read Sorcerer’s Stone but I know it’s over twenty. I also COMPLETELY lost track of how many times I’ve seen the movies but I’m also re-watching the whole series. I am currently making a Harry Potter timeline. I have all the soundtracks. I went to watch John Williams play the Harry Potter music live at The Hollywood Bowl. In 7th grade we were to write an essay of our favorite sport and I wrote a whole hearty, lengthy one about Quidditch and shared it with the class.  In 9th grade we were to do a project. It was to make anything that had to do with winter. It had to be hand-made by us, and we had to have taken a good amount of time making it. I sewed winter black school robes inspired by Harry Potter. I still love wearing it whenever I’m cold and just to feel the spirit of the Harry Potter world. I could go on and on because the list would never end.
A few of my goals in life are to publish at least one novel (although I plan on self-publishing many others if they never get accepted by an agent or a publishing company), inspire others, change people’s lives for the better, and meet Joanne Kathleen Rowling.

I am now determined to try to change other’s lives especially teens. I am a huge supporter of suicide prevention and awareness along with depression help even though I still struggle with it and founded a suicide prevention and mental illness/depression group through the online art community that I hope to expand in time. I want to use my art in several suicide prevention and depression help dedicated events and projects.  And just as Harry Potter inspired me and helped me throughout my life; I’d like to do the same with writing. I hope to give people the same sanctuary that I was given.

I love you J. K. Rowling and you’ve changed my life forever. You are my life’s first spark of hope. Thank you for everything you’ve ever done. You are one of the biggest role models ever. You deeply inspire more than you’ll ever imagine.

Sincerely and with loads of love and admiration,

Love, Iman M.Ravenclaw.

When I was very, very young, I went to a gaelscoil (a school where only Irish is spoken) so I found reading in English very difficult. But when I was just 6 years old, I picked up a copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and began to read. It took me months (mostly because I was too terrified to read it at night!) and a lot of hard work, but I always felt it was worth it. Since I read that book, so many years ago, I can safely say that Harry Potter has stayed with me until this very day. 

Not only did your books encourage me to read and grow as a reader (after your series I devoured book upon book to the point where my mum had to stop buying me books because it was getting too expensive), but also as a writer. You truly are my inspiration to become a writer and to write as often as I can.

And as if you haven’t done enough for me already, Harry Potter also brought me closer to so many people and helped me to meet many new ones. You have created friendships for me and when these friendships were broken, Harry, Ron and Hermione comforted me.

Thank you for everything.

Yours truly, Saoirse Ni Cheallaigh, (Age 16).

I was given Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone aged 8, it was brought as a gift for my neighbour who already owned it, so it was given to me. As a lover of books, but mainly those with pictures, my first thought was the lack of illustrations, but decided I would give it a go anyway. Two days later I finished it, and my life has never been the same again. I can remember the release of every following book and how they have shaped who I have become. I can remember my mum refusing to let me read them until we went on our summer holidays each year they were released, and sneaking into the cuboard at night just to read a few chapters at a time. Harry Potter has taught me to be strong when I am at my weakest, to be loyal and loving to those who stay by my side, but mostly to know that doing the right thing is something I have to decide for myself, and no one else can do it for me.

I have laughed, cried, been frightened, nervous and excited for people who exist only on paper and on film. But most of all I’ve been transported into a world of your making, where everything is possible if you just believe. I just want to thank you for creating a world that means as much to me as my own.

I have stuck with Harry until the very end.

Love, Nicola Hunt, 18, England.

I was never much of a reader. Actually, I used to hate it. Being forced to read books for school just added to my disliking of reading. I had always been a big fan of the Harry Potter movies but I never thought about reading them.

In January of 2010, my oldest sister, KT, died in a car accident. My life was in a downward spin. I didn’t want to do anything except curl up in my bed and stay there forever. Nothing seemed right.

It wasn’t until Deathly Hallows part one came out that I decided to start reading the Harry Potter books. And I’m so glad that I did because they truly changed me. I read the books whenever I could and submerged myself into the enchanting story that JK Rowling brought to life. I wasn’t concerned with the tragedies happening in my own life, but more worried about what would happen next to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. It took my mind off all of the sadness I felt and truly made me happy whenever I was reading them.

When one of the characters was happy, there was always a smile on my face. When a character was sad, I would be in a bad mood the rest of the day until I read a happy part. The Harry Potter books in a way saved me. They made me realized that nothing is impossible.

Thank you Jo! This is the best way that I could explain how much you have changed my life. You are our queen:)

Love, Megan Zinn.16.Virgina.

Okay, so I most likely will not be saying anything completely, utterly, original. And I really don’t want to make you read an essay, so I’ll try to keep it short and simple.

I refused to read Harry Potter when the rest of all these awesome fans (and my friends) were reading them, cause I was like “blah blah blah society pressure blah blah blah” and I wanted to be my own person. I had all these thoughts of being independent and not letting people pressure me or whatever cause I was already a dwarf (meaning I was short, really short, like I’m-16-but-I-look-like-a-7-year-old short), so I was late in becoming a fan. But then finally when the seventh book came out, I decided to find out “what all the fuss was about” (I remember what I said when I asked my friend to borrow a Harry Potter book). And it was the best decision of my life.

Thank you for giving me something to love and cherish every day of my life, to be able to quote without fail, and to be able to pick up and still discover something new. (Man, that sounds cheesy. But stuff like this always does.) Oh, and thank you for making me the complete target among my friends for all things Harry Potter. I get teased, like getting called Muggle or Squib, or playfully accused of having an emotional range of a teaspoon, or “pulling a Hermione” but yeah. I’m a half blood, and I’m pretty sure my emotional range is that of a tablespoon, at least… and I don’t get as good grades as Hermione, sadly.

I am still in utter amazement of how you managed to create a whole freaking universe. I love it so much.

I wish you the best of the best! You deserve it. Go and continue to fight dark forces.

Love, Camille.

Reading some of the other letters that people have sent in as part of this project is quite bizarre. They say the exact things that I’ve been feeling for the last 10 years or so. Have you ever seen The History Boys? If you haven’t, you should- it’s very good. Richard Griffiths is in it, and he says this:

‘The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you’d thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you’ve never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it’s as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.’

Sometimes people make fun of me when they see that my username for most things online is ‘JoRowlingRocks’, or that I have a picture of you in my bedroom. That’s what teenagers do about popstars they have a crush on, isn’t it? Not adults about authors. I try to explain- I don’t usually do a very good job. Yet here we have other people (putting it far more eloquently than I could), describing the same feelings- how you inspire them, how you helped them through their troubles, how their life has been made immeasurably better because of you.

I’m not going to explain to you how & why I came to Harry, because I’m sure you have enough accounts of that to keep you busy for a long time! Suffice it to say that like so many other people, reading Harry Potter is the one single thing in my life guaranteed to make me happy and I will be forever in your debt for giving that to me. Words can’t explain how thankful I am to you, and how I look up to you (although I’m sure you can understand how it feels to have an idol, seeing as you named your daughter after yours!). I find it slightly unsettling that you barely know I exist (two letters & a couple of words exchanged in Leicester Square will be remembered forever by me, but quickly forgotten by you), yet you make up such a big part of my life. I feel like I’m intruding somehow (as I said- I’m not very good at putting things into words). So this is just to let you know that there is a girl sitting in a bedroom in Exeter thanking you every day for giving her the chance to lead the life she does. 

I wish every happiness for you, Jo, in return for what you’ve done for me and other people around the world. I don’t care a jot what you’re writing now, or what you’re going to write next, or whether you’ve changed your mind about where the Harry Potter story ends (I will admit though that the thought of the encyclopaedia makes me salivate a little). I don’t care if you never want to publish another book- whatever makes you happy is what I want. You’re such a beautiful person, inside and out, that you deserve to look into the Mirror of Erised and see yourself exactly as you are (see what I did there?). I only wish that there was something I could do to repay you. If you’re reading this and it’s put a smile on your face… Well, I’ve still got a long way to go, but it’s a start. 

Have a wonderful 46th birthday, Jo.

All my Love, Rebecca.

Thank you for being my childhood, my teenage years and undoubtedly my adult years aswell. You will never know how much the Harry Potter series, and yourself have influenced my life, and to a large extent, taken over it. My parents are forever greatfull to you, as you made bedtime a whole easier once Harry Potter came into my life. I spent the first half of my 11th birthday sitting by the post box waiting for that Hogwarts acceptance letter, then the second half crying because it hadn’t come. I even forced my parents to take me to Kings Cross on september 1st that year with the hope that the letter just got lost and I would just walk through the barrier to prove I was a witch, it didn’t work. Throughout the years I have driven my family crazy with Harry Potter, from everything like bursting out with random trivia, to naming my pets after my faveroute characters. This year you even helped me get back into sixth form to take my A levels, it was in my interview to get my place back into the college and in one of my subjects I got a worse grade than they predicted, when the asked me how I feel I quoted “it is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you have lived so cautiously you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you fail by defult” and because I said that, they let me in.

JK Rowling, you are a god in my eyes, thank you for making my belive, I will forever stick with you and Harry until the very end.

Love, Laura Gill.

I don’t even know how to start, you’ve done so much for me and for all the Potterheads around the world, THANK YOU for that, for creating the most special books in the whole universe, for making me laugh & cry along with Harry, Ron and Hermione, and with every single one of your amazing characters. Because you didn’t only create 7 books, you created an entire world, you made my childhood magical.

I’ve stuck with Harry until the very end, and I know someday I’ll get my Hogwarts letter :)
