J.K. Rowling sends 'Harry Potter' books to girl in Syrian war zone
LONDON -- On Monday, J.K. Rowling had an exchange on Twitter with the mother of Bana Alabed, the 7-year-old girl who's been tweeting from Aleppo, Syria.
Bana had seen a Harry Potter film with her mother and wanted to know how she could read the books, too.
"She wants to but we don't have it here," Bana's mother Fatemah tweeted. "We watched the movie before. How do we get?"
