J.K. Rowling writes to grieving teen
     2014-August-19  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

J.K Rowling has recast her “Harry Potter” magic and reportedly brought Dumblebore back to life.

A spokesperson for the author confirms Rowling sent a letter and a package to a Texas teenager who optimistically found strength in the words of a “Harry Potter” film after witnessing the murder of her immediate family.

Fifteen-year-old Cassidy Stay lost both parents and four siblings to a gunman in Texas last month. Cassidy was shot in the head and survived the gunshot wound only because she played dead. Authorities have called her survival a miracle.

Cassidy had seen the unimaginable, but was still thinking about happiness. At a memorial for her family, Cassidy gave a speech in front of media saying she believed her family was “in much a better place.”

Quoting the words of Dumbledore, the wise headmaster of Hogwarts, she said “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

The same day Cassidy gave her speech, a Facebook page called “We want J.K. Rowling to meet Cassidy Stay” formed and quickly gained traction.

While the group page acknowledges that Cassidy is not a follower of the page, the creator claims to know a friend of Cassidy’s who “confirmed that J.K. Rowling did, in fact, write her a personalized letter from “Dumbledore” (hand-written with purple ink). She was also sent a wand, an acceptance letter to Hogwarts with a school supply list, along with the 3rd book with JK’s autograph,” the group post said.

Rowling’s spokesperson told CNN: “We can confirm that J.K. Rowling sent Cassidy Stay a letter and package, but the contents of the letter and how it came about are private and between her and Cassidy. We’re not commenting any further on the letter or what it contained.”

魔法校长“邓布利多”写信安慰悲伤少女 

 

J·K·罗琳重施她的“哈利波特”魔法,让邓布利多起死回生。

一位发言人已证实罗琳给德克萨斯州的一名青少年寄去一封信和一个包裹。这名少年在亲眼目睹自己的家人遭到杀害后从电影《哈利波特》的台词中找到了乐观的力量。

十五岁的凯西迪·斯待上个月在德州一持枪歹徒的袭击中失去了父母和四个兄弟姐妹。凯西迪头部被击中,靠装死幸存下来。官方称她的生还是个奇迹。

凯西迪经历了难以想象的劫难,却仍思索着生命的快乐。在家人的追悼会上,凯西迪在媒体面前演讲说她相信她的家人“到了一个更好的地方。”

她引用了邓布利多 — 这位智慧的霍格沃茨魔法学校校长的话,“即使在最黑暗的时刻快乐也会存在,只要你记得让光亮照进来。”

在凯西迪演讲的同一天,脸谱网一主页发出呼吁“我们期待J·K·罗琳和凯西迪·斯待见面”,很快引起大量关注。

尽管这一主页声明凯西迪并没有关注它,但是创建者声称从凯西迪的一位朋友那里获知“J·K·罗琳千真万确以邓布利多的名义给凯西迪写过一封私人信件(紫色墨水手写),还送来一根魔杖,一封附有学校物品清单的霍格沃茨的录取信,以及有罗琳签名的哈利波特系列第三本书,”主页发布消息说。

罗琳的发言人告诉CNN:“我们可以确定的是罗琳寄给凯西迪一封信和一个包裹,但是信的内容以及样式是她和凯西迪之间的私人信息。我们不会对这封信及其内容作过多评论。”
