A weak and introverted boy, he has no career ambitions. His interests and ideals since childhood were to grow something and raise something. When he grew up, he worked at the zoo, and he also had all kinds of troubles, big and small. The girl classmate who was a childhood sweetheart married her brother, and she just wanted to find the lost animal, but she was inexplicably involved in the factional struggle. value……
The whole zoo is packed in a carry-on case, and the magic wand in the pocket can open the door of the bank vault, and after chanting a spell, you can change shape in a second. But he was wearing a blue woolen coat and walking among the crowd. There was nothing special about him. The problems and troubles he encountered every day were not substantially different from mine. The magical world he lives in has the same strict logic and self-consistent system as the real world. There are strict rules and ethics here, and it cannot be above the human world. The white wizard is more concerned about fighting against evil forces and maintaining the normal order of these two parallel worlds. In this world, no matter what the villain is, if you want to do anything, you have to rely on talent, study, keep a low profile, support from peers, and upgrade and fight monsters step by step.
The traditional fantasy story routine is the opposite: the river god fishes out the golden axe, giving the kind-hearted boy a better life. Cinderella got the help of the magic godmother, and she has reached the pinnacle of her life since then. Superheroes show up at the most dangerous time and use their superpowers to save all mankind. But in the magical world built by Rowling, spells are just a skill, like speaking a foreign language, learning to drive or even fly a plane. This brings convenience and a lot of fresh experiences, but it will definitely not help you hang up and provide a shortcut to success.
Rowling's novel, the most charming place is here. If she puts aside the cloak of magic, her creations are realistic works, which can be ethical dramas, period dramas, or emotional dramas. The real thing is like what happens around you and me every day. Every sorcerer has flesh and blood, and no matter how high a rank is, there are worries in this world. Credence is a "silent" with great power, but he is also a displaced orphan, obsessed with his own life experience. As a baby, Harry had the power to frighten Voldemort, but he had to rely on others and be called by the Muggle aunt's family like a servant. The villain bosses, whose personal business ability is several blocks away from their comrades, all hold to their own noble pursuits, to be pure blood, and to destroy the human race, which is exactly the same as the dictators in human history. Even for righteous leaders, individual heroism doesn't work. Burdened with family secrets and the betrayal of his best friend, Dumbledore took care of everything by himself, assigning tasks to the freckled dull boy, and later the little boy with glasses, who were with a group of friends Slowly, bit by bit, thwarted the big conspiracy.
Because the fate of the characters is too real, I have had a strange feeling when I saw Rowling's works since I was a child. From more than 20 years ago to now, I have always firmly believed that the wizarding world is moving in time and space I don't know, Hogwarts must be somewhere on the map, Newt and Harry must also be traveling some corner of time. But today I suddenly want to understand, they are actually beside you and me, even you and me. Just like the characters in the story, I will be timid and withdraw, and have a little selfishness, but there are times when I want to persevere no matter what. There are some things that I want to do but cannot do for the time being, but there are also many goodbyes that I have to say. We each have some small skills and help a little, but when it comes to critical times, it seems that we are not omnipotent. There were people around me, some allied with me, some just drifting away, like the group around Freckles and Harry.
With the blessing of the protagonist's halo in real life, we will not necessarily win, but we will certainly not lose. Because Rowling told us that it is not the powerful boss who protects the world, but me and you who are always entangled with troubles.
