Films: Harry Potter Series
The Harry Potter film series is a collection of 8 films, that follow the adventures of a young wizard. In his boarding school he learns about friendship, courage and the value of a family. The greatest lessons those movies offered me were that family lies with people, not necessarily blood, and that love is the force that can stand us up even when we are down.
