She spoke about the her culture values their elders, and she explained that children are from the time of birth to respect and people older than themselves. It was to hear that,so I enjoyed listening and learning. Here is her memory I found so beautiful: When she was growing up, her father had three jobs to his family. She said her dad never , and though he worked very hard, he always had for them. One day, her father was at his full-time job. For several months, he was mailed temporary disability checks he was recovering. When her father was able to return to his full-time job, he took all those disability that were sent to him while he was recovering and handed them back to the . He told them that he had two good legs and arms, and did not need this money. He told them to give the money to people who could not work, to people who needed it. The woman telling the story was a little girl at that time. She had her father that very day when he went back to his company all those unopened checks. My father is my hero, she . Lowering her voice, she said she would never forget what he did, and what an and influential mentor(导师) he was on how to live a life.

Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 1927, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe.
