So you see reading the novel gave me an excellent practice in using grammatical forms.
Besides my attention was attracted by a great number of lexical units the meaning of which I was trying to guess. Take for example:
He began to spoon soup into his mouth.
- to spoon (p. 227)
It wasn`t difficult for me to translate the sentence as everybody knows the noun “spoon”.
«Он занялся супом».
The same thing about the word “ trunk ” (p.227)
I know it as “хобот”. But look at this sentence
«It`s like they`re hoping we`ll march out carrying our school trunks and head off for the Hogwarts Express».
Here we speak not about an elephant but a person. So let`s try to use our imagination. Of course it`s nothing else but «рюкзак».
“ Похоже они надеются , что мы выйдем из дома со школьными чемоданами и побежим на “Хогвартс-экспресс”
So learning of the constructions like that added to my knowledge of English. I improved my grammar skills and the skills of translation.
The final part
The social importance of my research is our attempt
· To reveal the world of energetic, courageous heroes who have unbelievable endurance and a conquering attitude; who are ready to take risks, withstand challenges, sort out their own problems and tasks which are complicated to handle.
· to influence other people`s desire to take to reading and learning a foreign language.
The actual importance of the research is
· trying to make people learn a foreign language through reading. J. K. Rowling’s novel «Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows» is popular all over the world. It`s an interesting topic for discussion among both grown-ups and children. So why not use this excellent opportunity for just not chatting but also learning the language?
· The book under discussion is a wonderful way to combine both fun and usefulness.
Conclusion
So in our research we proved the hypothesis that reading books in a foreign language is one of the most effective ways of learning the language because it
· enlarges the reader’s vocabulary;
· provides the elementary translation skills.
All these things play an important role while learning the language and provoke interest in it.
We also tried
· to depict the most effective way of learning English;
· Follow the way the language is improving while reading J. K. Rowling’s «Harry Potter and deathly hallows».
While doing the research I learned

|
· to work with literary and Internet resources;
· to choose and analyze the necessary material;
· to make a medium presentation;
· to make a report in front of the audience.
The last but not the least I improved my debate skills and overcame the fear of speaking in front of the unknown people.
