| | |  Quote of the Week – Sara Nordenstam
Olympic swimmer Sara Nordenstam of Norway has Harry Potter to thank for the bronze medal she garnered last Friday in Beijing. Quote:
I was very nervous and I needed something to calm me down and I listened to the Harry Potter books because your mind goes off to a magical world and it's great because I was able to keep my nerves in control.
I have read them all, I have seen all the movies and I have listened to the audio books as well. It worked really well today.

That's cool. I find listening to music or watching t.v. is a good way to distract myself before I have a big tennis match. Helps me to not fester and worry about it.

That's awesome!  It's such a great thing to see that Harry Potter can calm someone's nerves and just take you in another world filled with magic.

I totally get it. When times are rough and I need to escape, I reach for one of my HP books. And then life is good again!

Yeah, I've read Harry Potter too when I get really stressed out. I used to do it all the time in high school after studying for several hours and needed a break to refresh my mind.
