Read and circle the correct answer.

Harry Potter book and film

Millions of readers around the world were waiting
for magic in their cinemas on June, 2004. Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third
film in the Harry Potter movies. (Four hundred and
fifty two million Harry Potter books have been sold
in over 200 countries, and the books have been
translated into at least sixty-five languages, including
Latin). Now, can the film had won the worlds
imagination in the same way?

Harrys fans want to see a film that is exactly like the

book. They already know the characters like close
friends and they love Harrys magical world in
their hearts. The British author, J.K. Rowling, wanted
the film to be like the book too. Why should you take a book that works so well and
change it? she said.

But Harrys adventures are unique with strange characters and places from another
world. Harry and his friends live and go to school in England but this is a magic
England with its own streets, shops and schools even its own language! (In fact
many of Rowlings words come from old English. Did you know that the headmasters
name, Dumbledore, is an old English word for bumblebee?!)

How can the film-makers, Warner Bros, make this unique magical world? Rowling was
there to help at every stage. She worked hard to help turn her famous words into real
things. Months of work and 100million later, the special effects are ready. Everyone
is waiting to see their favorite characters. We want to see Hagrids frightening
animals, the strange teachers, and Harrys clever white owl. The big question is, what
will the actor playing Harry be like?

Sixteen thousand British and American boys auditioned for the part of Harry Potter.
Rowling did not want an American to play Harry. The American director, Chris
Columbus knew about Daniel Radcliffe from the BBCs TV film David Copperfield.
Columbus asked Daniels father to send Daniel for an audition. When Daniel walked
into the room, Columbus knew. This is Harry Potter! Rowling agreed. She felt she was
brought back together with a long-lost son.

Twenty two years ago JK Rowling was a young English teacher; today she is one of
the richest and most famous people in the world. Harry has helped thousands of
people young and old to enjoy reading and he hasnt stopped yet! Now Rowling
have participated as a screenwriter in a new movie: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find
Them, based in her book about the magical creatures in the Harry Potter universe.
