Thought For The Day: Lessons From Harry Potter

Hello there lovelies,

One of my favourite lady-friends found this on Tumblr, although I'm not sure who wrote it orignally (If you know, link me up). I think it sums up things perfectly for us Potter fans. We grew up with Harry Potter, and things don't quite feel the same with no more of his adventures to look forward to. Without further ado:

What Harry Potter has taught me-
1997 - 2011
