Though a look around any street-side book cart may make one wonder if any of J.K.

I heard that before we know it every kid in the world is reading Harry Potter, so I bought three of the books for my little brother. I never realized he would like them so much, so in the end i bought him the whole set. I think they are pretty good too. Have you read them before?

中国不像西方那样有特别的巫师文化不过大家心里都有个魔法梦吧穿了隐形衣别人就看不到你打碎花瓶念个咒语就没事了小时候谁不希望有这样的好事

China doesn't really have the sort of wizard/witch culture that they do in the west. However, everyone deep down enjoys dreaming about magic. Like wearing magic clothes that make you invisible, breaking vases and then chanting something and its fixed. What child wouldn't fantasize about those kinds of cool things?
