      mkdir /opt/dir (this goes first obviously)

   In case someone doesn’t understand this, I would like to leave an explanation.
   find: find command
   where in root : /
   how, files owned by a user: -user
   name of user: harry
   execute : -exec
   copy: cp
   results of previous command will go in {} so these brackets are just symbols that whatever result came from previous command will be copied now
   path of destination : /opt/dir
   end of line : \;

   this command should work also:

   find / -user harry | xargs cp -t /opt/dir/
