Harry Potter's most magical act might be what he did for children's literacy in America.
The story of an orphaned boy at an English wizarding school might not have seemed world changing in 1997, but 450 million books in 67 languages and countless engaged readers later, Harry Potter has a lot to be proud of for what he’s done for children’s literacy in the United States.

詹姆斯（James）和李莉·波特（Lily
Potter）的独子在7月31日庆祝他的生日。最不可思议的巧合是，他的生日和他的创作者J·K·罗琳（J.K.
Rowling）是同一天。上图中，罗琳和书迷们一起纪念《哈利·波特与混血王子》（Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood
根据丛书的美国出版商委托进行的调查，在接受调查的5到17岁的美国儿童当中，51%的人表示他们在开始读哈利·波特之前，不曾为了消遣而读书。四分之三的人表示，哈利·波特让他们对阅读其他的书感兴趣。另外，美国的哈利·波特读者一般在9岁开始读该丛书，对于阅读兴趣普遍减弱的美国儿童来说，这是一个关键时期。
