(This is about some of the feelings of the entire Harry Potter series. It is written under one of my favorite movies. The reason why it is presented as a film review rather than a book review is because I have almost no sense of picture in reading books, and movies can bring Different experience. Write where you want, logic or something, it doesn’t exist.)
In my opinion, the Harry Potter series has three lines, each guided by three characters: Snape, Dumbledore, and Harry. Only when you fully understand these three characters can you understand this work. Snape is a dark line that connects the past grievances of his parents and the dark side of the story of his children. This character is shaped by narrative techniques. Rowling uses almost all of his portrayal to use narration, and the reader's understanding of him is always the same. Being led by the narrative, Snape was able to become the most thrilling reversal in the story. So in my opinion, the understanding of Snape should mainly focus on the role of the function. Only when I realize that this role is at the mercy of the author for the purpose of constructing the plot, can I truly realize Snape's tragic color—— In life that is up and down in fate, everything is involuntary, very brave, and very powerless. Dumbledore is half-bright and half-dark. He is like a mystery. I don't think I have solved this mystery yet. I hope I can understand it someday.
When I reread the Half-Blood Prince last year, I realized that Harry is the bright line in the book. It is our pair of eyes peeking into this magical world. Although the first-person narrative is not used in the book, I feel that it is basically the same as the first-person narrative, because the readers You can only see the inner thoughts of this character. In other words, Harry is completely transparent in our eyes, which will undoubtedly have a great impact on our understanding of Harry's role, because he has no sense of mystery in front of us. This solved my long-held doubt: Harry, as a well-formed protagonist, why I didn't like him at all in the first place. Recently I watched the documentary "The World of Harry Potter". Rowling and the screenwriter Clover talked about the characters in the book. Clover made it clear to Rowling that he did not like Harry. Rowling agreed and said she The favorite is Ron. She said that Ron and Hermione would be more likable than Harry because of their distinct personalities, which confirmed my guess-the reason Harry is not so likable is largely because he is too transparent. .
But I think this is not enough, because in my opinion, everyone, whether real or virtual, the ultimate understanding of him is to feel a fatal attraction, which leads to a cordial feeling. In my opinion, this attraction should come from the emotions behind the characters' stories. Only by experiencing this emotion from the narrative, can we realize the charm of the characters. Take Snape, for example. I think what attracts me the most is his incomprehensible sense of hesitation. Snape was hidden in the darkness for the rest of his life. Only Lily could bring him a gleam of light, so he was able to work hard for it. His dedication to Lily was not so much love, as it was to pursue the understanding and approval of others. His experience will happen to each of us, but the degree is different, so whether we agree with Snape or not, we will resonate with him. The reason why I find these three characters difficult to understand is because it is difficult for us to feel their emotions. Snape’s emotions are hidden by the author, Dumbledore is hidden by the characters themselves, and Harry’s emotions are expressed. Too straightforward, but more difficult to grasp than the previous two.
Back to the topic, I think this film is accurate and just right for Harry's emotions. It has provided a great help to my understanding of Harry and made me see the charm of the savior. First of all, at the uncle's house, Aunt Maggie rudely criticized Harry and his parents. Harry tried his best to keep calm and finally scolded her intolerably. The little wizard still can't fully control his magic, abnormal things will happen when emotions change, this kind of setting is simply a genius imagination. Emotional changes are a normal physiological phenomenon of people, but it is often difficult for others to detect except for themselves. The film externalizes it. Compared with the explosion of the wine glass in the book and Maggie being inflated into the sky, the flickering of the lights in the kitchen is added in the film. . I really like this detail added in the movie, it's like the rapid breathing when we try our best to endure anger. This is the first time I feel Harry’s outburst of anger towards his uncle’s family (the Philosopher’s Stone and the secret room only have grievances of Baba, of course, these can also explain the problem, but it’s not as strong as the prisoners), and suddenly I can’t help it. He began to imagine what Harry's life was like for more than a decade, only then discovered the preciousness of Harry's soul. After experiencing such an unimaginable childhood, Harry could still be kind to the world. At this moment I suddenly felt that Harry was shining. If such a child is not the savior, then who is it? The reason why we think Harry is mediocre is that he is simple, stubborn and poor in self-control, but these shortcomings have been magnified by the omniscience perspective. Only by contacting the two worlds of magic and Muggle did he know how difficult it was for Harry. Voldemort believed that Harry had a fame, and his achievements were based on luck and the sacrifices of others. I once agreed with this point of view, but now it seems that I want to say to Voldemort, sorry, the savior is your savior. The kindness in Harry's heart is hard to conceal. Although he also has a dark side, his smile is always clean and sincere, which is enough. There is too little light in this world, especially those brought by others. Harry can emit light from the darkness. He is the savior, because he first redeemed himself in the past.
Secondly, in Hagrid’s class, Harry was voluntarily (in the book is indeed voluntary, in order to take care of Hagrid’s feelings) to interact with Buckbeak. He was frightened at first and could only follow Hagrid’s instructions. , Step by step stiffly. Later, when he rode on Buckbeak's back and flew over the castle and the lake, he opened his arms and laughed freely. At this time, the surroundings were quiet and empty. Only Buckbeak carried him across the sky. This series of emotional changes is also an adaptation of the film. Director Alfonso said that this symbolizes growth and Harry began to realize his abilities and confidence. I suddenly thought of Harry when he first met the magical world. Facing this brand new world, he was also very at a loss when he was curious, especially so many people knew him and expressed kindness to him-this was in Muggle. Never before in the world. He has always been inferior and felt that he could not fit into the magical world. It was the first time Quidditch's talent gave him confidence. This talent is not so much the protagonist’s golden finger, as it is pure potential. Everyone must have some potential, but many times they may not be able to discover it. For Harry, the people in the Muggle world didn't approve of his character and abilities, so he was destined to be incompatible with that world, but the wizarding world would recognize him to accept him, but the sudden enthusiasm of the wizarding world made him at a loss. In fact, Harry was very inferior, and the praise around him made him very frightened, for fear that others would overestimate himself. It wasn’t until the order of the Phoenix students prepared to form Dumbledore’s Army that Hermione recounted Harry’s four years of fighting with Voldemort. Harry himself said something that sounded good, and I was surprised to discover that so many students did not. Will use disarming spells and coma spells. Harry was really good enough, but we were confused by his lack of self-confidence, and I would compare him with those geniuses, which misunderstood Harry's abilities. Because of this, I think Harry is actually the self that we are trying to reject and avoid. One thing Harry made me very kind was that I felt discomfort in the face of compliments and felt that I was not as good as others thought. This feeling was very real, so I would subconsciously believe in Harry’s ideas and mistakenly believe that Harry is. As he described it himself, just Harry. Especially in the first-person narrative, we know all of Harry's thoughts, this feeling becomes too real, so I will reject him unconsciously, just like rejecting the disliked side of my character. Realizing this, I suddenly discovered that life is also a first-person story. We cannot see others because we are unfamiliar, and we cannot see ourselves because of familiarity.
In addition, I really like the clips in the movie where Harry gets along with Lupin and Sirius (from the deep resentment for the translation of Sirius...). The relaxing feeling of Harry being with them is particularly beautiful. Lupin and Sirius were the ones who really connected the parent generation and the offspring, which Snape couldn't do, because he had a deep grievance with the parent generation, and the most powerful bond connecting the two generations was love rather than hate. I didn’t like Dumbledore’s conclusions about love before, thinking it was out of cliche, but now I begin to believe in the meaning of love. When you have gone through the stage when you have nothing to say with the people around you, you can truly appreciate the powerful force from behind. It is often invisible, but as long as you think of it, a smile will involuntarily open at the corner of your mouth. There is nothing to fear in an instant. Harry is a child in front of Lupin and Sirius. He will tell them everything about himself without reservation, and their concern for Harry is different from that of others. It is only out of family affection, not because he is Savior. Such unreserved and pure love makes people soft and reassuring, so only Lupin can teach Harry the patron saint curse, only Sirius can fully trust Harry (I think Dumbledore Can't do it, Harry is still afraid to tell Dumbledore something). At the end of the film, Sirius said to Harry when he bid farewell to him, The ones that love us never really leave us), this is the most impressive sentence in the Harry Potter series of films. I have always disliked Sirius, but this clip in the film touched me very much. I felt that I saw a Sirius who was completely different from the book, and suddenly began to imagine how dangerous he was taking revenge for his friend from Azka. Ban escaped, and how he was burdened with everyone's misunderstandings has been silently observing and protecting Harry in secret. I can't make up all the details of his previous experience, but I can be moved by the warmth flowing in his eyes at the moment. My feeling for Lupin is amazing. I don’t know why I knew he was a werewolf before I watched novels or movies, so it was relatively plain at first, but what I liked about him was that he first told Harry about his parents. . The director's positioning of Lupin is a kind uncle. Although we don't know the secret behind his uncle, he is indeed a good teacher and helpful friend who has grown up with us. Lu Ping is the person who connects the child generation with the parent generation. Before that, we didn't know anything about the parent generation, and Lu Ping talked about all this as a friend and felt very kind. Listening to friends (of course, in a sense, Lupin is also a relative) tells about his friends, it is an unspeakable feeling, especially his friends are your most familiar and unfamiliar relatives. In my eyes, the two new characters in the third part are all the beauty in this gradually darkening story. Uncles will always appear, godfather will always come, and the love and light in my heart will always dispel all fears and worries.
