Harry Potter has helped a Norwegian swimmer earn a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Beijing.
Sara Nordenstam puts her bronze medal in the women's 200 breaststroke down to J.K. Rowling's books about a teenage wizard which helped her to relax before her big moment.

"I was very nervous and needed something to calm me down and I listen to the Harry Potter books because your mind goes off to a magical world and it's great because I was able to keep my nerves in control," she is reported as telling the media.

"I have read them all, I have seen all the movies and I have listened to the audio books as well. It worked really well today," she said.
