[04:16.26]READING HARRY POTTER
[04:23.34]Welcome to the world of JK Rowling!It is a world of magic and wonders,
[04:31.20]a world where anything can happen.
[04:35.46]Many of the creature in Rowling's world are not real,
[04:41.10]and much of what happens is strange.
[04:45.68]JK Rowling has written a series of books about Harry Potter,
[04:51.84]a boy with a scar on his forehead and a secret past.
[04:58.00]The books are about magic and strange creatures,
[05:03.28]but they still tell us something about the real world.
[05:08.32]In the first book about Harry Potter,
[05:12.58]we meet Harry before he knows anything about magic.
[05:18.04]Harry seems like a normal boy,but his life is miserable.
[05:24.39]His parents are dead and he lives with a family that treats him badly.
[05:31.15]Harry is very unhappy and does not know what to do about his life.
[05:38.00]His life changes when a bird tells him to go to Hogwarts
[05:43.88]and become a student of witchcraft and wizardry.
[05:48.92]Hogwarts is an unusual school where the students learn about magic.
[05:55.40]But for Harry,the most important lesson is about real life,
[06:01.25]friendship and how to be brave.
[06:05.71]Harry learns more than magic at Hogwarts.
[06:10.47]He makes new friends and learns how important and difficult it is
[06:16.71]to be a good friend
[06:19.95]His friends help him when he is in trouble,
[06:24.31]but he must also be strong and help them when they need him.
[06:30.77]Harry also learns to be brave and to do things he used to be afraid of.
[06:37.84]He learns the truth about his past,
[06:42.00]a dark secret that will make his life and his choices more difficult.
[06:48.76]At Hogwarts,Harry also learns about the power of love.
[06:54.72]The magic,many strange creatures and the adventures Harry comes across at Hogwarts
[07:02.77]help him understand the real world.
[07:07.13]Harry has to fight against bad wizards and do the right thing.
[07:13.50]Together with his friends,
[07:16.95]Harry learns that it is not always easy to do what is right.
[07:23.43]You must believe in what you do
[07:27.50]and who you are if you want to succeed in the world
[07:32.55]the magical world of Hogwarts and the real one.
[07:37.90]Where someone is born and what a person looks like
[07:42.76]is not as what he or she grows up to be.
[07:48.72]Two people may speak different languages,
[07:53.08]have different habits or even come from two different worlds,
[07:59.03]but they can still be friends if they share the same goals,hopes and dreams.
[08:06.30]It is not enough to be strong in heart and mind;
[08:11.34]we must also believe in ourselves and help others
[08:16.38]if we want to be happy and live a good life.

[08:30.33]THE QUESTION
[08:33.07]Tom stopped.What was that noise?He put his hand on Pete's shoulder.
[08:40.52]"Did you hear that?"he whispered.They both listened carefully.
[08:46.18]The noise seemed to be coming from the room behind the statue in front of them.
[08:52.24]It sounded like a woman crying.They looked at the statue.
[08:58.31]It was a strange creature with red eyes
[09:02.75]it was almost as if the creature was watching them.
[09:07.19]Tom suddenly felt cold.
[09:10.82]He remembered what his father had told him about the secrets of the church.
[09:16.67]He knew that the church had many secret rooms and that not all of them were safe.
[09:23.51]If only they could find a way to get to the room,
[09:27.95]or whatever it was,behind the wall.
[09:32.32]The statue stood in front of the door and there was no way they could get past it.
[09:38.80]Tom looked at the statue again.Strange!It looked as if the creature had moved.
[09:46.95]He was just about to say something when pete turned around.
[09:52.30]"Tom,"he said,"I think I know a way in." "How?"Tom asked.
[10:00.06]"It says on the statue
[10:03.51]that anyone who wants to enter the room must answer the question."
[10:09.07]"That sounds strange,"said Tom,"What question?"
[10:15.00]"I don't know,"Pete said,"but..."
[10:19.73]He did not have time to finish what he was saying.
[10:24.20]The statue was moving!
[10:27.36]A deep voice came from the strange creature,"Listen carefully.
[10:33.91]You may enter the room if you know the answer to my question."
[10:39.27]"What is the question?"pete asked. "It's a secret,"the creature said.
[10:46.32]"A secret?"Pete said,
[10:50.29]"That's stupid!How can I give you an answer if the question is a secret?"
[10:56.74]The creature spoke again,"Come here and I'll whisper the question in your ear.
[11:04.29]You will not remember the question tomorrow.
[11:08.55]If your answer is right,you may enter.
[11:13.52]If your answer is wrong,well,then you'll be in trouble."Peter looked at Tom.
[11:21.87]"I'll try,"he said.He walked up to the creature and listen to the question.
[11:28.95]After a few minutes,he whispered the answer in the creature's ear.
[11:34.88]They both waited for something to happen.
[11:39.32]"Are you sure you gave the right answer?"Tom asked.
[11:44.78]Pete did not have time to say anything.
[11:49.04]The statue moved to the side and the door opened up.
[11:54.00]Tom and Pete looked at each other.
[11:57.77]Tom was scared,"I guess we have to go in."They went past the statue and...
