What would have been different in your life if you never read Harry Potter?

I wanted to post this on Main, but realised just in time that this 
could go quite off topic, so here we go.

What would have been different in your life had Harry Potter books 
never existed? It does not have to be anything monumental, I mean 
these ARE just books, but any change will do.

Would you have remained clueless about some information have you never 
read the books?

Would you have never met someone special while getting involved in 
fandom?  Would your shelf of the books that you are rereading 
constantly just had fewer books on it?

As I said, anything will do :)
