I was lonely， and Harry Potter helped me get better．

Krystal Sim
Like Harry， I'd lost my mother． Harry Potter helped me face it．
My mother had been dead by the time I read Harry Potter． Though I was an 11﹣year﹣old girl， I understood a little of how Harry felt， I remember staying up to read it through the night and ending up crying as Lily Potter， Harry's mother， said to him﹣"You've been so brave．" Those are the kind of words you want to hear when you've lost a parent． They hit your heart sometimes， in the most beautiful way． I think I can be a lot stronger than before．
Matthew Lawrence
I didn't want to read， until my friends told me about a wizard （魔法师） called Harry．
I didn't like reading until I heard a lot of my friends reading Harry Potter． I read it from the first page to the last page． As Harry， Hermione and Ron grew up， I grew up， too． Harry Potter showed me that reading could be enjoyable． It changed my life because it led me to love reading．
