     You have probably read the books. You have probably seen the movies. But have you heard the
music? The latest Harry Potter news is that bands form to play what is called "wizard rock" or sometimes
just "wrock".
     The new kind of music began when Joe De George and his brother Paul decided that the characters
from Harry Potter would make a great band. Ron on guitar, Hermione on bass, Hagrid on drums and
Harry singing up front would make for an excellent group. In one day, the brothers wrote, rehearsed and
performed six songs about life at Hogwarts. After the first performance, Paul decided that "we are Harry
and the potters."
     Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like: rock "n" rock inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter. The De George started a trend. Today there are dozens of wizard-rock bands: the Whomping
Willows, the Remus Lupins and the Moaning Myrtles to name a few. Rockers dress like Hogwarts
students and play at conventions and festivals.
     People who like Harry Potter think wizard rock music is totally awesome. The songs can be funny,
but the music is not a joke. Just ask the De George brothers. They've played more than 500 shows in 49
states and their hit songs are inspired by characters from Harry Potter: "Save Ginny Weasley" and
"Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!" The themes of their music are the same as those of Rowling's books:
love and friendship, upset and struggle.
     Wizard rock is just one more by-product in the Harry Potter craze. Two years after J.K. Rowling
published her last book in the series, Potter popularity continues to grow. There are Potter conventions
and Potter clubs that try to get kids and grow-ups to help fight hunger, for example. And the fact that they may do it while humming "Wizard Chess" or "Platform 9" makes those meetings fun.
1. What is the text mainly about?

A. It's no different from rock "n" rock.        
B. It's sung in the films Harry Potter.

D. It follows the themes in Rowling's books.

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.
