哈利波特迷最靠譜的腦洞（上）
The Craziest Harry Potter Fan Theories That Could Be True Part 1
哈利波特迷最靠譜的腦洞（上）
There’s nothing like a batch of Harry Potter fan theories straight out of the piping hot cauldron of the internet to make the day seem brighter. The Potter books and films are seemingly made for fan theories, with new ones popping up daily. Rowling’s (or should we call her Rita?) vibrant world is dissected all the time despite the fact that the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was published in 1997. Even Rowling enjoys Harry Potter universe theories. She particularly likes the one about Dumbledore being Death in the Deathly Hallows story of the Peverell brothers. She said, “It fits.”
沒有什麼能比一羣哈利波特迷從火熱的互聯網坩堝裏腦補出的理論更能給日子增添色彩了。《哈利·波特》系列叢書和電影似乎就是爲粉絲的腦洞創作的，每天都有全新的腦洞出現。儘管該系列第一部《哈利·波特與魔法石》於1997年出版，但每時每刻人們都在分析羅琳（或者我們應該稱她《預言家日報》的Rita？）筆下的魔法世界。甚至連羅琳本人也很喜歡哈利波特宇宙的各種說法。她特別喜歡的腦洞是鄧布利多是《哈利·波特與死亡聖器》佩弗利爾三兄弟故事中的死神。她認爲：“很有道理。”
But does the fan theory that Ginny slipped Harry a magical love roofie fit? Because for the longest time, it seemed like she was the only one carrying a torch, and Harry couldn’t have cared less. How about this one: Dumbledore is actually Ron? And George Weasley is Willy Wonka? Yep, there are some pretty wild, yet fun, Harry Potter theories out there.
但是，金妮偷偷給哈利下了迷情藥的粉絲腦洞合理嗎？因爲在很長一段時間裏，似乎只有她單戀着哈利，而哈利根本不理睬她。那這個呢？鄧布利多的真實身份是羅恩？喬治·韋斯萊是來自巧克力工廠的威利·旺卡？確實，有各種各樣的瘋狂但很有趣的哈利波特腦洞。
Which Harry Potter fan theory makes the most sense? Point your wand at the ones you think are most likely to be true.
哪個腦洞最合理、最像回事？拿起你的魔杖，選擇你認爲最靠譜的那一個吧。
1. Neville Longbottom Uses The Wrong Wand
納威·隆巴頓用了錯誤的魔杖
Because he chose his father's wand, Neville didn’t let the wand choose him. This explains the constant misfires, but it worked well enough because it was his dad’s. When Neville’s wand is broken at the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, he gets a new one at Ollivander’s. This time, the wand chose him and helped him become the leader of Dumbledore’s Army in his seventh year.
因爲納威選擇的是父親的魔杖，他並沒有讓魔杖選擇自己的主人。這就解釋了爲什麼他會經常失手，但因爲魔杖是他爸爸的，所以也足以日常使用。當納威的魔杖在神祕事務司大戰中折斷了後，他在奧利凡德店裏得到了一根新魔杖。這一次魔杖選擇了他，這也使他在七年級成爲了鄧布利多軍的領袖。
2. Trelawney Was Right About Harry’s Birth Date
占卜課特里勞妮教授對哈利出生日期的判斷是正確的
Even though Harry was born in July, Trelawney tells Harry he was born in midwinter.
儘管哈利出生在七月，但占卜課的特里勞妮教授告訴哈利他出生於隆冬。
That’s because a part of Voldemort’s soul was inside Harry, and Tom Riddle was born on December 31, smack in the middle of the winter season.
那是因爲伏地魔的一部分靈魂在哈利的體內，而湯姆·裏德爾（伏地魔真名）出生於12月31日，正好就是冬季中旬。
3. Voldemort, Harry, And Snape Are The Three Brothers And Dumbledore Is Death
伏地魔、哈利·波特和斯內普是三兄弟，鄧布利多是死神
This fan theory states that the three characters are the three brothers from the "Tale of Three Brothers" story in Deathly Hallows and that Dumbledore is Death. The story goes that the brothers meet Death on the road. Death offers them their deepest desires in exchange for their souls. The first wishes for a powerful weapon and is given the Elder Wand. The second asks Death to bring back his wife and receives the Resurrection Stone. The third brother cleverly asks for a way to hide from Death and is given the Cloak of Invisibility. Voldemort dies for power, Severus dies for love, and Harry speaks to his old friend, Dumbledore/Death, in the afterlife.
這個粉絲腦洞認爲，這三個人物是《哈利·波特與死亡聖器》中“三兄弟故事”中的三兄弟，而鄧布利多就是死神。故事是這樣的，三兄弟在路上遇到了死神，死神讓他們交出自己的靈魂，以換取實現內心最深的渴望。老大的願望是得到一件強大的武器，他拿到了老魔杖。老二要求死神復活他的妻子，他得到了復活石。老三聰明地想找個辦法躲避死神，於是得到了一件隱形斗篷。而相應地，伏地魔爲權力而死，斯內普爲愛情而死，而哈利在來世與他的老朋友鄧布利多（即死神）對話。
Rowling loves the Dumbledore theory, tweeting, “Dumbledore as death. It's a beautiful theory and it fits.”
羅琳很喜歡這個關於鄧布利多的腦洞，她在推特上寫道：“鄧布利多是死神，這是一個不錯的想法，它很有道理。”
Further, Dumbledore represents all three brothers. When he was young, he sought power. He lost his sister and might have longed to see her again. And he wasn’t afraid to die, greeting it “like an old friend.”
此外，鄧布利多本人也代表着三兄弟。在年輕時，他追求權力。失去了妹妹後，他也許很想再見到她。而且他並不害怕死亡，“像老朋友一樣”迎接死亡。
