S: Welcome back, you are now with me andElena at English Panorama.

  Elena, you are a fan ofHarryPotter, right?

E: Yes! I’ve been a fan since I was like 9 or 10years old.

 (S: Wow, it’s really a long time ago)

  Yeah, it’s been a long time, almost a decade. Well I’m not proud of it but you know it’s not that easy to love something forsuch a long time.

S: Yes, yes, indeed. Since you are a bigfan,I bet you know that this year, 2017, is a very special year...

 (E: The 20thanniversary!)

Yes, this year is the 20thanniversary of Harry Potter.

 (E: Oh my God, I’m so excited!)

 Calm... just calm down first... Em... yeah, today we are gonna to do aspecial edition about H.P. as a celebration.

E: And as a beginning, here is sometrivia you should know about H.P.

E: No.1 The gills in the TriwizardTournament are literally made of silica gel and the gill-filaments are made ofsilk for making it more alive under the water.

S: No.2 The most expensive prop in theHarry Potter films is Dumbledore’s telescope which have Astrological sign on it.

E:No.3 About 60-70 wands had been used byDaniel, the actor of Harry Potter.

S:No.4 Mostly prop books in Harry Potter films are telephonebooks which had changed the covers. Yet theAdvanced Potion- Makingbelongs to Professor Snap was designed carelly by prop-group.

E:Besides, The Dark Forces: A Guide toSelf-ProtectionandThe Tales Of Beedle The Bardis also produced inspecially.

E: Wow, I mean, all of those are... aremind-blowing! As a ten-year big fan, after learning so many information aboutH.P.I thought I knew everything. but actually I know nothing!

(S: Like Snow in Game of Thrown? You know nothing）

yeah，but seriously, I’ve never heard any of those stories.

S: Speaking of getting information, howdo youHarry Potterfans getinformation out of the 7 books?

E: Well, Rowling is an amazing woman, andshe made a lot of effort to make this magic world perfect and more real, so shewas not content with just theses 7 books, and she knew that we won’t be satisfied,

 (That’s true I will never be satisfied ) 

Yep we all hope that the magic world canbe as real as possible.

 That’s why Rowling keep writing other books which are mentioned inHarry Potter. Some of them arefairy-tales, such asThe Tales of Beedle The Bardand some of them aretext books used by students of Hogwarts, for example:The Fantastic Beatsand Where to Find Them,Hogwarts: A HistoryandQuidditch throughthe Ages.

S: Oh, I’ve heard of them.but my favorite is alwaysThe Beedle. It’s just like the Grimms’ Fairy Tales in our Muggles’ world, and Ijust love fairy tales.

E: Oh, sorry, your Muggles’ world, cause I’m actually a wizard, so.. you know.

S: Really? Then would you mind show mesome of your magic power?

E: Er... you know we are not allowed touse magic in Muggle world or right in their face.

 (S: Oh, come on）

 Anyway, besides all those books, Rowling had also create a website namedPottermore, in which you can have an excellent experience as a wizard.There are some tests you can do to figure out which school of Hogwarts you mayin or what kind of wands fits you or what your Patronus is. And Rowling willupdate some interesting stories happened in magic land on this web. You canfind any information throughPottermore.

S: Sounds great!you know I haven’t heard this website previously,  I’ll sign in right after the program.

 Youknow thatHarry Potterhas a deepinfluence on the whole world, so the celebration of it’s 20thanniversary can’t be normal.

 Asfar as I know, the British Library is holding this large exhibition on a topiccalled ‘Harry Potter: ahistory of magic’. There are over 100 handicrafts on show including the old magiccollections of the British Library.

So this give us a chance to learn Muggles’ magic-discovery journey and get close tothose mysterious magic-related things. Except that,the precious drafts andhand-painted manuscripts ofHarry Potterare also on show.

E: Oh I wish I could be there. Actually Icould have been there if I had some Floo Powder or a Portkey...

S: Hey wake up girl! Stop dreaming, evenif you can’t go there, you still have a chance to see the whole exhibition.

E: How? Is that a new spell or something?

S: No, the British Library published twobooks as a souvenir, which contain every detail of this exhibition, so all youneed is buying them online.

E: Right! Online-shopping, the greatestmagic ever in 21th century! OK, now you listen to me, I’m going to shop and you finished theshow! See you later!

S: No, Elena! Come back! Elena!

 Well sorry for that, she’s a crazy fan. This is the end of today’s English Panorama, see you next time,bye!

E: Skye, Skye! I got the books! I got thebooks! Oh, and see you soon, bye bye!
