Cute Oprah/CoS related story

I wasn't sure if this belongs on OT or here, but since it involves 
the CoS/Oprah show, this list seems to be the better match.

I taped the Oprah show on Tuesday, since my kids and I were too busy 
to watch it when broadcast.  I mentioned it to a friend of mine 
whose kids are also Harry fans and she asked to borrow the tape, 
since they had missed it. I'd planned on giving it to her next week 
when I normally see her, but since I was passing near her house 
yesterday, I just dropped it off then.

I just ran into her at the grocery store this afternoon and she told 
me that she and her family watched the tape on Saturday night.  They 
all went to church this morning, and when mass was over her 5 year 
old daughter said, "look mom, there's that boy from the show."  Sure 
enough, Maddy (or is it Matty?) was sitting there in his wheelchair 
next to his mom. Janet and her daughter went over to him and asked 
him if he was the boy on the Oprah Winfrey HP show, and he said he 
was and then HE BROUGHT OUT *THE WAND*! He let the kids hold it and 
was very sweet and the kids were thrilled to bits.
Small world, huh?

Jo Serenadust, slightly embarrassed to admit that I asked the 5 year 
old if I could touch the hand which held the wand (Even more 
embarrassed that I'm slightly jealous of a 5 year old girl)
