Visually Impaired Girl Receives Braille Harry Potter Books On Christmas, Her Reaction Goes Viral

When the American minister and author Norman Vincent Peale remarked, "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.", we all genuinely felt it. Christmas is the time of the year when joy, brotherhood and love blossom just like poinsettias of floral displays in the festive season. The aura is filled with zeal, festivities and positivity. With lights glowing all around and the spirit of giving gifts to one another, the wholesomeness of the festival can't be described with just a few words.

There was a cherry on top of the 'cake of wholesomeness' in the on-going festive season, added by a video which went viral on social media. In the video, a girl who is visually impaired, received the braille books of Harry Potter as her Christmas gift. Her purest reaction to the gift left the netizens teary-eyed.

As she tries to read the braille book, she recognised that she received the first book of Harry Potter series, i.e. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. She was beyond happy. Then, she exclaimed, "Now I can read it!"
