读《哈利波特与魔法石》

文/菜星人

重温《哈利波特与魔法石》，哈利波特系列第一部，其情节跌宕起伏、扣人心弦，字里行间收获了太多感动。

01黄金三人组

一个是红发男孩罗恩，一个是学霸赫敏，一个是尚在襁褓之中就在魔法世界家喻户晓的哈利波特，三人在万圣节前夜合力打晕巨怪后，铁三角从此诞生：

But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.

在这个过程中，他们学会了为朋友挺身而出，哪怕是打破自己一贯遵循的规则：

Hermione was the last person to do anything against the rules, and here she was, pretending she had, to get them out of trouble. It was as if Snape had started handing out sweets.

当哈利决定只身前往阻止魔法石落入坏人之手时，罗恩和赫敏毅然决定与他同去，我想这才是真正的朋友，不只是风和日丽时一起欢笑嬉闹，而是即使在狂风骤雨来袭时也能不离不弃，愿意为对方两肋插刀，彼此相互独立，各有所长，团结在一起时能发挥一加一大于二的力量：

“I’ll use the Invisibility Cloak,” said Harry. “It’s just lucky I got it back.” “But will it cover all three of us?” said Ron. “All — all three of us?” “Oh, come off it, you don’t think we’d let you go alone?” “Of course not,” said Hermione briskly. “How do you think you’d get to the Stone without us? I’d better go and look through my books, there might be something useful. . . ”

罗恩在守护魔法石的巫师棋局中牺牲自己，帮助哈利继续前行：

 “Ready?” Ron called, his face pale but determined. “Here I go — now, don’t hang around once you’ve won.”

赫敏帮助哈利破解魔药关后，对哈利发自肺腑的肯定：

 Hermione’s lip trembled, and she suddenly dashed at Harry and threw her arms around him. “ Hermione!” “Harry — you’re a great wizard, you know.” 

朋友就是最懂你的人，当你给他们讲发生了什么时，他们总能在最恰当的时候表达与你的想法最契合的观点：

Harry told them everything: Quirrell; the mirror; the Stone; and Voldemort. Ron and Hermione were a very good audience; they gasped in all the right places, and when Harry told them what was under Quirrell’s turban, Hermione screamed out loud.

02阿不思·邓布利多

邓布利多是霍格沃茨魔法学校校长，被公认为当代最伟大的巫师，无论情况多么危急，看到邓布利多出场了，我就会觉得一阵心安。

真正伟大而可敬的人往往谦逊。邓布利多与麦格教授的对话：

 “I know you haven’t,” said Professor McGonagall, sounding half exasperated, half admiring. “But you’re different. Everyone knows you’re the only one You-Know- oh, all right, Voldemort, was frightened of.” “You flatter me,” said Dumbledore calmly. “Voldemort had powers I will never have.” “Only because you’re too — well — noble to use them.” “It’s lucky it’s dark. I haven’t blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs.” 

邓布利多给人的印象不是高高在上、遥不可及，而是这样一个可亲可爱的老爷爷：

“ Ah! Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans! I was unfortunate enough in my youth to come across a vomitflavored one, and since then I’m afraid I’ve rather lost my liking for them — but I think I’ll be safe with a nice toffee, don’t you?”He smiled and popped the golden-brown bean into his mouth. Then he choked and said, “Alas! Ear wax!” 

当哈利在校医院醒来后，邓布利多与哈利的对话：

 “I feared I might be too late.” “You nearly were, I couldn’t have kept him off the Stone much longer —” “Not the Stone, boy, you — the effort involved nearly killed you. For one terrible moment there, I was afraid it had. As for the Stone, it has been destroyed.” 

这段对话给我留下了深刻的印象，让这位伟大的巫师害怕的，不是魔法石落入坏人之手，而是他可能去得太迟、救不了哈利的性命，这般仁心和慈爱让人深深动容。

邓布利多充满了智慧，有时让人捉摸不透，似乎所有在魔法世界里进行的事他都知晓一些。当哈利问邓布利多，他在厄里斯魔镜里看到了什么时的一段对话：

“What do you see when you look in the mirror?” “I? I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks.” Harry stared. “One can never have enough socks,” said Dumbledore. “Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books.” 

读到这里总觉得作者的话有些深意，伟大的邓布利多为什么会看见自己拿着厚厚的羊毛袜呢？真的是这样吗？

03鲁伯·海格

海格是霍格沃茨的钥匙管理员，身高将近4米，疯狂热爱神奇生物，这个身形巨大、常常鲁莽大意的汉子其实也有温柔细腻的一面，当他和挪威脊背龙诺伯分别的时候，对诺伯说妈咪会永远记得你，这种反差萌让人读来忍不住扑哧一笑。

 “Bye-bye, Norbert!” Hagrid sobbed, as Harry and Hermione covered the crate with the Invisibility Cloak and stepped underneath it themselves. “Mommy will never forget you!” 

而海格的坦诚和对朋友的真心也令人为之动容，当他觉得因为自己大意害得哈利险些丧命时，这个巨汉在霍格沃茨校医院嚎啕大哭。

“Hagrid!” said Harry, shocked to see Hagrid shaking with grief and remorse, great tears leaking down into his beard.

邓布利多对海格的信任和关心，海格对邓布利多的尊敬和忠心，让我印象很深。

当麦格教授质疑邓布利多把这么重要的任务交给海格时：

  “You think it — wise — to trust Hagrid with something as important as this?” “I would trust Hagrid with my life,” said Dumbledore. 

当德思礼出言不逊时，暴怒的海格：

 Hagrid seized his umbrella and whirled it over his head, “NEVER —” he thundered, “— INSULT — ALBUS — DUMBLEDORE — IN — FRONT — OF — ME!” 

04韦斯莱一家

韦斯莱家族是古老的纯血统家族，他们都有一头红发，虽然经济并不宽裕，但十分有爱，是个充满温情的大家庭。

每年圣诞节，妈妈莫丽都会给一家人织毛衣，而当她听罗恩说哈利没有期待任何圣诞礼物时，贴心的莫丽给哈利也织了一件：

 “I think I know who that one’s from,” said Ron, turning a bit pink and pointing to a very lumpy parcel. “My mom. I told her you didn’t expect any presents and — oh, no,” he groaned, “she’s made you a Weasley sweater.” Harry had torn open the parcel to find a thick, hand-knitted sweater in emerald green and a large box of homemade fudge. “Every year she makes us a sweater,” said Ron, unwrapping his own, “and mine’s always maroon.”

05厄里斯魔镜

厄里斯魔镜能显示站在它面前的人深藏在心底的渴望，这一点在魔镜名中巧妙的暗示了，“Erised”倒过来看，其实是“Desire”（渴望）。

也因为这个特性，它被作为保护魔法石的最后一个道具，只有想找到而不想利用魔法石的人才能获得它。

在哈利意外发现厄里斯魔镜后，一度沉迷其中，于是有了邓布利多对哈利说的这一番话：

 However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible.

其中的哲理令人深思，纷繁尘世中，多少人沉溺于虚幻的渴望而忘记生活，而扪心自问，假如我站在厄里斯魔镜面前，我将看见什么？

06爱的力量

当哈利问邓布利多为什么奇洛不能触碰自己时，邓布利多告诉了他原因：

Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn’t realize that love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign . . . to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin.

不得不佩服J.K.罗琳的构思，爱才是这个世界上最伟大的力量，爱给人留下的印记不可磨灭，它不随个体的消失而消散，它可以驱散黑暗，战胜邪恶，给人勇气，点亮希望。
