What I saw in the Mirror of Erised

2020 is an extraordinarily magical year.

The rhythm of life in the first half of the year was completely disrupted by the epidemic. With the help of my colleagues, I finally opened the famous "Harry Potter" series of movies.

Honestly, I regret it.

Harry Potter is the childhood playmate of almost all the children born in the 1990s, but I don't know what I was doing when I was a child. I've heard the name 10,000 times, and I haven't seriously watched any movie or original book. After watching the entire series in one sitting, I couldn't help but ask myself, if you had seen this movie ten years ago, what would it have been like?

I imagined that when I was young, I would be amazed at the magical setting of the nine and three-quarters station, I would like the broomstick madly, I would have a crush on the handsome Senior Wood, and I would complain about the little idiot Ron to my friend, Will fantasize about being Harry or Hermione, who has a big responsibility, smart and brave.

But it all happened too late. When I met Harry Potter, I was already a boring adult. I was very superficially moved, and I couldn't help but regret my childhood.

Later, I saw in Rowling's interview that Rowling herself had encountered many difficult things at the beginning of her creation. Her relationship with her father was very bad, and she could not see her for the last time before her mother died. She is still abusing her repeatedly. But Rowling, who was so distressed, wrote such a strong story about love.

Perhaps Harry Potter, to the author and to the audience, is the Mirror of Erised for all of us.

Harry looked in front of the mirror and saw the reunion of his family of three. He was so small, and his hands and feet had the cowardice of entering an unfamiliar environment. He had already tasted death when he didn't even know what death was. pain caused.

Looking at little Harry in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but think of his violent uncle and aunt, who asked Harry to cook for them before Harry's stove was high.

Harry should have been so much pampered, if he could have stood with his biological parents. The Mirror of Erised does not lie, everyone has a beautiful world they want but cannot reach.

Just like me, like every one of us who stumbles and grows up, we also fantasize about magnificent adventures, close friends, and warm families. What we can't get, we can have in front of the mirror.

But the headmaster said, Harry, you can't indulge and be unreal, you have to move forward.

Yes, you have to move forward, just like Harry grew up with the thoughts of his parents all the way, those of us who are reading books outside the play, will one day realize that there is really no magic in this world. There is no other way than to move forward.

What I saw in the Mirror of Erised was my once pure and stubborn soul, a station I knew that I didn't pass through the wall, but I still wanted to believe that there is always a place in this world that is splendid that I don't understand.

    The first one is relatively mediocre and quite satisfactory in all aspects, while the play is relatively poor and protracted. What’s more amazing is that in such a long film length, there are still many details that are not perfect. This film can enjoy such a reputation. The original work is indispensable.
