I feel like I grew up with Harry Potter; from the moment he left his cupboard under the stairs to his first sighting of Hogwarts, to him defeating the Dark Lord. I remember reading the first book when I was nine and for three years I waited for my Hogwarts letter, even after I was 11, hoping they'd made a mistake! The anticipation of waiting for a new book and the excitement of going to see the films are among my cherished childhood memories. This series managed to enrapture the hearts of many and stimulate the imaginations of those all over the world. Harry Potter is easily the fandom of the decade and ten years on I'm still ridiculously excited to see the final films and take my first steps on platform 9¾.
