Last Thursday, the day before I got on the plane to fly to China, I went to see a movie. It wasn’t just any movie, but the recently released(上映)Harry Potter blockbuster(耗费巨资拍摄的电影)“The philosopher’s Stone” that has   1   Britain, America, and now Japan, by storm.

  The film is a tale of witchcraft(魔法)  2   in modern-day Britain. Based on a book by J. K. Rowling,   3   tells the story of a very   4   baby, seared at birth by an evil wizard who kills his parents. The only legacy (遗赠物)of the tragedy is a red   5   on the baby’s forehead-and magical   6   , inherited(继承)from his mother and father, to fight against and overcome evil.

  The Harry Potter myth was founded five years ago by Joanne Rowling, a   7   single mother living in Edinburgh, in the north of the United Kingdom. To date, 110 million   8   of her books have been sold worldwide. But before her publishers would   9   the first manuscript(手稿),Joanne Rowling   10   agree to change her name on the book cover to J. K. Rowling

   11   it was feared that child,   12   young boys,   13   not read an adventure story written by a woman.   14   , when the books became an overnight success, did it become generally known that the talented and creative author was   15   a young and attractive woman.

  At the start of production, forty thousand   16   actors were auditioned(试演)and

   17   for the screen role, yet Daniel Radcliffe was discovered when the producers took a

   18   and went out to a theatre in London’s west end. There in the   19   row sat young Daniel who was visiting the theatre with his father for an evening’s entertainment. Daniel was screen tested and with J. K. Rowling’s agreement was immediately   20   the part. Now kids around the world together with their parents are quite familiar with Harry Potter and the actor Daniel Reddiffe.
