Harry Potter author JK Rowling was reduced to tears after receiving a message from a fan on Twitter.
Fan of the books Emma Harris shared the heartbreaking impact the authors novel had on her childhood experience.
Emma sadly lost her sister at the young age of five and was so distraught she says that she didn't speak again until she was seven years old.
And in her tweet, Emma revealed that when she was finally able to say something it was the first line from the Philosophers Stone- the first book in the Harry Potter series.
When author Rowling noticed Emma's tweet she said she immediately burst into tears.
She wrote: "Nothing like logging into Twitter and immediately bursting into tears. Emma, I'm so very sorry to hear about your sister and so pleased to know Harry helped."

Ms Harris later clarified her message by saying: "It is the first line of the philosopher's stone book. This is the first words, I spoke after 2 years. Hope that helps."
