:00:40. > :00:43.This is the place where JK Rowling used to come to write
:00:44. > :00:46.the Harry Potter books, and she'd sit in this exact seat.
:00:47. > :00:49.Now people come from around the world to visit it.

:01:01. > :01:08."Perched atop a high mountain, it's windows sparkling in the starry sky,
:01:09. > :01:13.was a vast castle with many turrets and towers."

:01:23. > :01:26.Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore, Narcissa Malfoy.
:01:27. > :01:28.Some of them she got from the names of flowers, stars,

:01:36. > :01:39.Four, the reptile house at London Zoo.
:01:40. > :01:42.Potter fans will recognise this as the first place where we really
:01:43. > :01:49."It was cool and dark in here, with little windows

:01:56. > :02:00.Five, King's Cross station, London, where our journey comes to an end
:02:01. > :02:06.Not only does he meet his best friend Ron here, but it's also

:02:09. > :02:13.A scarlet steam engine was waiting next to a platform
:02:14. > :02:18.A sign overhead said 'Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock,'
:02:19. > :02:40.Lots of view have found the Harry Potter books really helpful. Have a
:02:41. > :02:42.look at this. I love Harry Potter because it's
:02:43. > :02:44.just an amazing story, it's I love Harry Potter because it's
:02:45. > :02:48.such a creative and imaginative series of books, and it
:02:49. > :02:50.allows your imagination It's just one of those things that
:02:51. > :02:58.when you're feeling sad, just pick up a Harry Potter
:02:59. > :03:01.and suddenly you get taken away If I was feeling sad or something,
:03:02. > :03:05.I just read Harry Potter and I start Everything they do is kind
:03:06. > :03:09.of teaching you just Recently I had to deal
:03:10. > :03:12.with the death of my grandad and I found that really upsetting,
:03:13. > :03:16.but then I looked back at Harry Potter and he's such
:03:17. > :03:19.a courageous character, and I just looked back
:03:20. > :03:24.at the quotes, for example, "Happiness can be found in even
:03:25. > :03:27.the darkest places," and that just It's really inspiring to see how
:03:28. > :03:33.much someone can go through, and when he's talking to Ron he's
:03:34. > :03:36.still happy at the same time. I moved earlier this year
:03:37. > :03:41.and I think that when I read Harry Potter it helped me because it
:03:42. > :03:45.helped me with the transition I made, because of the transition
:03:46. > :03:49.he made when he went from growing up with muggles to going
:03:50. > :03:53.to a wizarding school. If I'm down, I just pick up
:03:54. > :03:57.the book and my mind goes Harry Potter has definitely
:03:58. > :04:03.inspired me to write more stories and do more writing at home
