| | |  Recovering Potter fan gets gifts from JK
Northampton Today reports that Lorna Dixon, 17, who is recovering from non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (a form of cancer), today received a visit from four Potter look-a-likes. She was also sent a range of presents from J.K.Rowling. Quote:
"Mum told me we were going to the hospital on the day so it was quite a surprise. I was overwhelmed. I really love the Harry Potter books and the films."
Quote:
Charity workers had originally hoped to set up a meeting between Lorna and film star Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy.
This was not possible due to the actor's school commitments but the charity then called in the lookalikes.
They are still trying to organise a family trip to the premier of the new Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
A picture of Lorna and the look-a-likes can be seen here.
The visit was courtesy of the national charity, When You Wish Upon A Star, which aims to make sick children's dreams come true.

Wow knowing that Harry Potter makes this girl feel better. I would do anything to help her. J.K. is prob the nicest person in the world.
Hope you feel better Lorna

They should have called her "JK the Lionheart". She helps so many people.
Get well soon Lorna!

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

That is just so sweet of them. Knowing that this girl was brought happiness by giving her a bunch of HP stuff is the coolest. Knows people actually care and JK is so nice.

I think its awesome that Harry Potter can help someone who must have gone through a lot. It was really nice of them to do that.

That was so incredibly sweet of JK and the organization to do. I'm sure that made Lorna's day, and I hope she gets well soon.
