What is the Purpose of the Rubber Duck?

Well, unless you have lived under a rock for the last 10 years you know that Harry Potter is one of the most epic things ever. I have been in love with Harry Potter and his adventures at Hogwarts since I was 9 years old.
I remember that when I first started reading the Harry Potter books. My mom would read them to me and my younger siblings before we fell asleep. She didn't end up finishing the first one, but that's besides the point. We would get so excited for bed time because we knew we'd hear more of Harry Potter and his first year at Hogwarts. I ended up reading all the books that were out at that time before I finished the 5th grade. My favorite book? Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It also happens to be my favorite movie....at least so far. I do believe that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will kick it out of my favorite spot. And, before any of you start to think that the only reason I like the Goblet of Fire most is because Robert Pattinson is in it, you are mistaken. The Goblet of Fire is just so...awesome. I can't really put my finger on what I love the most about it. There's just so many things. I even wrote my British Lit final on it.
I used to wish that I'd get my Hogwarts letter at 11. I thought I could be super awesome at helping Harry out with all the tasks to beat Voldemort. But....as we all know Harry Potter is not real. So, I did not get my Hogwarts letter. Although, I'd be a totally super awesome wizard. ;)
Next week the final Harry Potter movie comes out. I am excited....SO excited. And also extremely sad. It's the end of my childhood dreams. The end of an obsession. I'm ending this amazing journey at the midnight premier. I will be attending with my mother. Last year I went with Kaycie and Madeline. The movie before that I went with Kadarius. So many memories. It's all about to be over. I know I'm going to cry in the end. I've grown up with Harry Potter. I've cheered him on and cried with him.
I know I'll still be able to read the books and watch the movies...save up some money and go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter again. I know I'll be able to relive it all. But, in 20 years when Harry Potter is a memory I'll be able to say 'I was able to experience it all first hand. Reading the books and seeing the movies. I was there.' I am....and will forever be a proud member of the Harry Potter Generation. Here I add pictures from the Harry Potter theme park! :) Enjoy. And...go see Harry Potter people!!!
