Good morning, I'm Ricky with your first Newsround of the week. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Did you know today it's 20 years since we met Harry Potter? | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
On this day in 1997, the first Harry Potter book was released, | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
and a lot of the ideas for his wizarding adventures came | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
from real-life places right here in the UK. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Jenny's been to check out our top five. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
The first stop on our Harry Potter tour is a little cafe in the heart | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
of Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
This is the place where JK Rowling used to come to write | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
the Harry Potter books, and she'd sit in this exact seat. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Now people come from around the world to visit it. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
And if you look out of the window from this spot, there's one pretty | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
big clue about where the idea for her wizarding school came from. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Our second landmark, Edinburgh Castle, | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
"Perched atop a high mountain, it's windows sparkling in the starry sky, | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
was a vast castle with many turrets and towers." | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
The books are packed full of characters with unusual names - | :01:14. | :01:22. | |
Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore, Narcissa Malfoy. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Some of them she got from the names of flowers, stars, | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Others she got from places like this. | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
Four, the reptile house at London Zoo. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Potter fans will recognise this as the first place where we really | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
"It was cool and dark in here, with little windows | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
Harry sat up and gasped - the glass front of the boa | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Five, King's Cross station, London, where our journey comes to an end | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Not only does he meet his best friend Ron here, but it's also | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
the spot where he takes the Hogwarts Express | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
A scarlet steam engine was waiting next to a platform | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
A sign overhead said 'Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock,' | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Lots of view have found the Harry Potter books really helpful. Have a | :02:19. | :02:40. | |
look at this. I love Harry Potter because it's | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
just an amazing story, it's I love Harry Potter because it's | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
such a creative and imaginative series of books, and it | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
allows your imagination It's just one of those things that | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
when you're feeling sad, just pick up a Harry Potter | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
and suddenly you get taken away If I was feeling sad or something, | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
I just read Harry Potter and I start Everything they do is kind | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
of teaching you just Recently I had to deal | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
with the death of my grandad and I found that really upsetting, | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
but then I looked back at Harry Potter and he's such | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
a courageous character, and I just looked back | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
at the quotes, for example, "Happiness can be found in even | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the darkest places," and that just It's really inspiring to see how | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
much someone can go through, and when he's talking to Ron he's | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
still happy at the same time. I moved earlier this year | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
and I think that when I read Harry Potter it helped me because it | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
helped me with the transition I made, because of the transition | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
he made when he went from growing up with muggles to going | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
to a wizarding school. If I'm down, I just pick up | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
the book and my mind goes Harry Potter has definitely | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
inspired me to write more stories and do more writing at home | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
when I'm bored. I just go and grab Harry Potter | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
And The Goblet Of Fire, It's been a packed weekend | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
of music at Glastonbury, and Ed Sheeran closed the festival | :04:11. | :04:28. | |
with an amazing set. Ed played without a band as usual | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
and got the crowd to sing along with him on his hits such | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
as Thinking Out Loud Next, this bull is definitely | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
not a cricket fan. The cheeky animal interrupted this | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
match in Bollington, Nobody was hurt and, once the bull | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
had gone, play continued. That's all from me, Newsround's back | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
right here in about half-an-hour. Good morning. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Now, a quick question for you - have you ever heard of | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
an animal called a pyrosome? | :05:09. | :05:13. |
