[00:-6.00]HARRY POTTER
[00:-7.00]Welcome to the world of JK Rowling!
[00:-8.00]It is a world of magic and wonders,a world where anything can happen.
[00:-9.00]Many of the creatures in Rowling's world are not real,
[00:10.00]and much of what happens is strange.
[00:11.00]JK Rowling has written a series³ of books about Harry Potter,
[00:12.00]a boy with a scar⁴ on his forehead and a secret past.
[00:13.00]The books are about magic and strange creatures,
[00:14.00]but they still tell us something about the real world.
[00:15.00]In the first book about Harry Potter,
[00:16.00]we meet Harry before he knows anything about magic.
[00:17.00]Harry seems like a normal boy,but his life is miserable⁵.
[00:18.00]His parents are dead and he lives with a family that treats him badly.
[00:19.00]Harry is very unhappy and does not know what to do about his life.
[00:20.00]His life changes when a bird tells him to go to Hogwarts
[00:21.00]and become a student of witchcraft⁶ and wizardry.
[00:22.00]Hogwarts is an unusual school where the students learn about magic.
[00:23.00]But for Harry,the most important lesson is about real life,
[00:24.00]friendship and how to be brave.
[00:25.00]Harry learns more than magic at Hogwarts.
[00:26.00]He makes new friends
[00:27.00]and learns how important and difficult it is to be a good friend.
[00:28.00]His friends help him when he is in trouble,
[00:29.00]but he must also be strong and help them when they need him.
[00:30.00]Harry also learns to be brave and to do things he used to be afraid of.
[00:31.00]He learns the truth about his past,
[00:32.00]a dark secret that will make his life and his choices more difficult.
[00:33.00]At Hogwarts,Harry also learns about the power of love.
[00:34.00]The magic,many strange creatures
[00:35.00]and the adventures Harry comes across at Hogwarts
[00:36.00]help him understand the world.
[00:37.00]Harry has to fight against bad wizards⁷ and do the right thing.
[00:38.00]Together with his friends,
[00:39.00]Harry learns that it is not always easy to do what is right.
[00:40.00]You must believe in what you do
[00:41.00]and who you are if you want to succeed in the world-
[00:42.00]the magical world of Hogwarts and the real one.
[00:43.00]Where someone is born and what a person looks like
[00:44.00]is not as what he or she grows up to be.
[00:45.00]Two people may speak different languages,
[00:46.00]have different habits or even come from two different worlds,
[00:47.00]but they can still be friends if they share the same goals,hopes and dreams.
[00:48.00]It is not enough to be strong in heart and mind;
[00:49.00]we must also believe in ourselves and help others
[00:50.00]if we want to be happy and live a good life.
[00:51.00]Welcome to the world of JK Rowling!

[00:53.00]a world where anything can happen.

[00:59.00]It is not enough to be strong in heart
[-1:00.00] and mind;we must also believe in ourselves and help others

[-1:-5.00]THE QUESTION
[-1:-6.00]Tom stopped.What was that noise?
[-1:-7.00]He put his hand on Pete's shoulder.
[-1:-8.00]"Did you hear that ?"he whispered⁹.They both listened carefully.
[-1:-9.00]The noise seemed to be coming from the room behind the statue in front of them

[-1:10.00]It sounded like a woman crying.
[-1:11.00]They looked at the statue.
[-1:12.00]It was a strange creature with red eyes-
[-1:13.00]it was almost as if the creature was watching them.
[-1:14.00]Tom suddenly felt cold.
[-1:15.00]He remembered what his father had told him about the secrets of the church.
[-1:16.00]He knew that the church had many secret rooms and that not all of them were safe
[-1:17.00]If only they could find a way to get to the room,
[-1:18.00]or whatever it was,behind the wall.
[-1:19.00]The statue stood in front of the door
[-1:20.00]and there was no way they could get past it.
[-1:21.00]Tom looked at the statue again.
[-1:22.00]Strange!It looked as if the creature had moved.
[-1:23.00]He was just about to say something when Pete turned around.
[-1:24.00]"Tom,"he said,"I think I know a way in." "How?"Tom asked.
[-1:25.00]It says on the statue
[-1:26.00]that anyone who wants to enter the room must answer the question.
[-1:27.00]"That sounds strange,"said Tom,"What question?" "I don't know,"Pete said,
[-1:28.00]"but..."He did not have time to finish what he was saying.
[-1:29.00]The statue ws moving!
[-1:30.00]A deep voice came from the strange creature,
[-1:31.00]Listen carefully.You may enter the room if you know the answer to my question.
[-1:32.00]"What is the question?"Pete asked.
[-1:33.00]"It's a secret,"the creature said."A secret?"Pete said,
[-1:34.00]That's stupid!How can I can I give you an answer if the question is a secret?
[-1:35.00]The creature spoke¹⁰ again,
[-1:36.00]Come here and I'll whisper⁸ the question in your ear.
[-1:37.00]You will not remember the question tomorrow.
[-1:38.00]If you answer is right,you may enter.
[-1:39.00]If your answer is wrong,well,then you'll be in trouble.
[-1:40.00]Pete looked at Tom."I'll try,"he said.
[-1:41.00]He walked up to the creature and listened to the question.
[-1:42.00]After a few minutes,he whispered the answer in the creature's ear.
[-1:43.00]They both waited for something to happen.
[-1:44.00]"Are you sure you gave the right answer?"
[-1:45.00]Tom asked.Pete did not have time to say anything.
[-1:46.00]The statue moved to the side and the door opened up.
[-1:47.00]Tom and Pete looked at each other.
[-1:48.00]Tom was scared,"I guess we have to go in."
[-1:49.00]they went past the statue and ...
[-1:50.00]Tom suddenly felt cold.
[-1:51.00]He knew that the church had many secret rooms and that not all of them were safe
[-1:52.00]If only they could find a way to ...
[-1:53.00]there was no way they could get past it.
[-1:54.00]I think I know a way in.
