The Harry Potter Alliance

Finally, I think I've found my calling

I have been a Harry Potter fan for years now but sadly, I don’t have many HP friends that live near me. I have great friends, but they don’t understand what Harry Potter means to me. It’s hard to describe to them that I have a deep connection to the books because I have felt alone, as many of us, I’m sure have felt. I have this whole world that I can turn to when I don’t feel good about myself or my day or whatever.

Even though I am a fan, I didn’t feel like I was truly fitting in. Not until I found the HPA. I can’t describe in words how much the Harry Potter Alliance means to me. My only regret is not joining in sooner. Volunteering is the only thing I feel like I am good at sometimes. Helping others gives me this purpose in life and makes me feel like I can actually accomplish my goals and the goals set upon us by the HPA and our communities.

It may sound cheesy or weird but the HPA has given me new life. I have something to look forward to everyday. I have new friends that understand why Harry Potter is so important. I wake up with the feeling of what am I doing for HPA today? The Harry Potter Alliance makes me want to go out and help my community so much more. I am already helping at my church, but now I want to do more. I want to share the message of the HPA with all my non-HP friends. I want to shout about it from the lighthouse in my town (I live in a seatown, it’s the highest point I could think of).

Recently, I’ve been reading all the blogs and comments posted here on the NING. I am so proud to be a part of this community. Reading some of the blogs are so inspirational. You all are so involved and passionate and it makes me really love what I am doing that much more.

So thank you for caring and writing and donating and volunteering. Please don’t ever stop.
