How Harry Potter changed our lives

Twenty years after "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone" was published, the series still continues to mesmerize us with its beautifully developed characters, the wonderful, fantastical wizarding world, and the magical tale with its extremely poignant hold in today’s society.
We asked readers how reading Harry Potter has changed their lives, or what they’ve learnt from these books. We have received an overwhelming response and some mere thanks isn’t quite enough! Here are 11 of the best responses we received.
