[borda1]http://cdn.potterish.com/wp-content/2016/04/21110533/rowling-robert-not%C3%ADcias-capa.jpg[meio][J.K. Rowling] talked this week, via Twitter, with a young fan and her mother who live in Aleppo, Syria. The family reads together to try to distract themselves from the war around them.
Bana, 7 years old, lives in eastern Aleppo, which has been at the center of the ongoing Syrian civil war. On Monday, Bana’s mother, who manages her daughter’s Twitter account, sent a public message to Rowling asking if there was any way to receive the Harry Potter novels.
The two of them exchanged some messages, trying to find a way to do it, as it is difficult to send goods and make sure they arrive at the war-torn city of Aleppo.
Check below the messages exchanged between Rowling and Bana’s mother:
Bana, I hope you do read the book, because I think you'd like it. Sending you lots and lots of love xxx

she wants to but we don't have it here. We watched the movie before. How do we get?

Bana, I work for Jo. Would you be able to read an eBook? If so I'd be happy to get a copy over to you.
