     When the shooting of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was complete, it was much more than a
movie wrap-up (結(jié)束).
     Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, told The Sunday Times that he's happy to have the time for
romance now filming is over. Emma Watson, who is Hermione Granger in the movies, said she looked
forward to "finally being free, being my own person"-a change signaled (顯示) by her new haircut.
     Daniel Radcliffe, who has been the face of the boy wizard since 2001, said that he "did cry like a little
girl" when the last movie finished.
     "It's like the ending of a relationship," he told The Vancouver Sun. "There's a sense of, 'God, what am
I going to do now?'" He said he was eager to see "what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts".
     Along with the three actors, Harry Potter fans, now in their late teens, came of age with J.K. Rowling's
characters. For them, the last film isn't just a goodbye to a decade (十年) of magic, but the close of their
childhoods.
     "We are the Harry Potter generation," Canadian Andrea Hill, 19, told The Vancouver Sun. "We started
in elementary school, reading about a boy our age who was going through the same things we were going
through. We grew up, so did he."
     For Emmy Chahal, an 18-year-old student, the series has been an inspiring journey. "That first book
was what sparked (激發(fā)) my love of literature (文學(xué)). It was the catalyst (催化劑) for everything-really
teaching me to appreciate my friends, and to face difficulties with a sense of courage (勇氣)," she said.
"I have a sense of grief (傷心). The end of the movies is kind of the end of my childhood, too."
     Fortunately, to the delight of die-hard fans, there are many things that keep the boy wizard alive. For
example, in June this year, a Harry Potter theme park opened in Florida, US.
     Some schools in the US and UK also have Quidditch teams-players ride broomsticks (掃帚). "We're
not waiting anymore to see what happens to Harry next," Hill told The Vancouver Sun. She founded a
Quidditch club at Carleton University in Canada. "We're still engaged (投入) in that magical world."

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人稱的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁癥), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (懲罰 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (擺動) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
