If you’re already a Harry Potter fan, you were probably lining up right along with them.If this ‘Harry Potter mania’ has left you wondering how a series of books ‘aimed at children’could possibly cause this kind of global following ,you probably haven’t given the Harry Potter series a chance! There are millions of adults fans of Harry Potter, many of whom don’t even have children with whom to share the books, and J.K. Rowling said that she wrote the books for herself -----as an adult --- to enjoy, not necessarily for children.Indeed, as the Harry Potter books get longer and more serious as the series progress,there are a lot of issues that many frighten the youngest children who love the earlier Harry Potter books. A lot of the literary themes, like the quest(探索)of the hero, would definitely fly over the heads of young children but present quality, entertaining literature to the adults who catch them.Still, your children’s love for Harry Potter could be the perfect opportunity to teach them about the bitter side of life such as the death of loved ones, the existence of evil in the world, and the fact that life doesn’t always reward the good and just people fairly.Read Harry Potter with your children and you can also teach them that not everyone is completely evil or completely good, that even the people who have done wrong can strive for self—forgiveness and that even the best of people have their darker moments but its our choices to do the right thing that defines us ‘good’.Harry Potter also teaches about the power of love ,friendship and forgiveness as well as choosing not to be apathetic(冷漠的)but to make a difference in the world. There are lessens from which any child can benefit!Whether you have children or not, Harry Potter is definitely worth your time. It will take you to a magical world while teaching you the best way to deal with the hardships in the world. Stop wondering why millions of people around the world love Harry Potter and find out for yourself.1________ 2__________ 3_________ 4_________ 5_________ 6________ 7___________ 8__________ 9__________ 10_________KEYS（一）单项填空：1-5: CACBB 6-10: DCCCB（二）单词拼写：1. challenging2.
