Throughout my childhood I developed a love for reading, but it wasn't until I read //The Sorcerers Stone// by J.K. Rowling that my love developed into much more. I remember finishing the book and rushing to the library to check out //Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets//, only to find out that it wasn't available. Instead of waiting patiently, I begged my parents to buy it for me and after a few days of nagging they finally complied. I read every chance I could and eventually I finished books one through four. Thankfully, at the time I only had a few weeks to wait for the fifth to be released and of course I had my own copy in a matter of days. Waiting for the sixth and seventh books was the complete opposite. I had to wait for three years Rowling to get the //The Half-Blood Prince// to be published and another year and a half for //The Deathly Hallows// but the wait was worth it. I was able to finish each book in less than twenty four hours a piece, and by the end of //The Deathly Hallows// I was in tears.
