Would you like to practice listening to English for ten minutes straight...?
In this clip you can listen to the author herself -- J. K. Rowling -- reading from the first chapter of the final book in the series (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) in front of a live audience. She's reading quite fast (perhaps she's nervous!), but if you have your own copy of the book, you might find it interesting to read and listen to Rowling at the same time.

Last year, on summver vacation, I was trying to read "the deathly hollows"

So I gave it up and ,after matriculation, I read one written in Korean
