Here is a sad story about a boy. I'm so glad he is able to read now!
"MOST children can pick up a Harry Potter book and be spellbound by the schoolboy wizard's adventures without a second thought.
But until recently life at Hogwarts was a closed book for little Kieron McCluskey. The eight-year-old, from Uddingston, suffers from a crippling eye condition, called uveitis, which makes it agonising for him to be in natural sunlight.
While other kids are out enjoying the summer sunshine, he is trapped indoors with the curtains and blinds shut.
And his condition has deteriorated so much over the last year, he is now registered blind.
Without books to entertain him, he has been forced to rely on his PlayStation to pass the time.
But now thanks to a local fundraising campaign, his family have bought a £1500 video magnifier to help him read again.
It has opened up a whole new world of superheroes, witchcraft and wizardry for the youngster.
The magnifier allows Kieron to enlarge books and display the print on a television screen."
Hmm... What happened this week, and the past few weeks? Well, JK Rowling is pregnant, Warner Bros. has announced that Ralph Fiennes has signed on
to play Voldemort, JK said that if she was going to write an eighth book it would probably be an encyclopedia, Two diaries used as props in the latest Harry Potter film - The Chamber Of Secrets have been sold for over 4,000 dollars on eBay, JK was written a letter in response to her caged bads letter, I heard that JK Rowlings favorite house is Gryffindor (no suprise to me), Katie Leung doesn't have a blog, so all of the blogs claiming to be her are fake, JK Rowling donated a signed boxed set of her Harry Potter books, including a first edition Order of the Pheonix to support Tayside fire officer, Gordon McKenzie, who is fundraising for two charities, Fire Services National Benevolent Fund and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Scotland, you can make Ton-Tongue toffee (the directions are here.), and JK Rowling told us "Why are some people in the wizarding world ( e.g., Harry) called "half- blood" even though both their parents are magical" Read the answer here.
Hi guys,
Sorry I haven't been on lately, I've been busy. I went to camp, finished up with Summer School, and I have been talking a lot on HarryPotterChat.org
