Recently, I planned to share my previous articles in the headlines, starting with the 2010 article "Those Things About Me and Harry Potter". Think about this decade I am really a little lazy up, the original enthusiasm to participate in free movie activities, but also write long articles, in recent years the social platform has changed, often filled with nine squares, write a sentence to feel like a grimace, just too lazy to say it again. This year, I plan to continue to write some articles about movies, but the position is changed here, after all, it has reached the era of self-media.
Chose to publish today because on this day in 2016, Prof. Snape actor Alan Rickm passed away. Even after another decade, I saw Snape say "Always!" on TV. Then my eyes got wet again.
Here's what the original text is, but as a reminder, there are spoilers! If you have not seen the small partners, if you feel that there is a risk, quickly click the fork in the upper left corner!
The first time I heard the name "Harry Potter" was from the TV, watching foreign children frantically snapping up a book, curious to read it one day.
Gradually, I learned that the story is probably about a magical world, and the author is a single mother.
At that time, I was learning English, and finally one day, I plucked up enough courage to rush into the foreign bookstore and buy back 1-4 harry potters.
I don't remember how long it took to read them, I just remember looking at the first book, I was still looking up the dictionary, and by the time of the second book, I was too lazy to look it up, and the words I didn't know were skipped directly, oh, the first word I learned and remembered from the HP book should be WAND.
The joy of reading lies in not knowing what will happen on the next page. When I read the first book, I was attracted to the character of Snape, and from the moment I learned that Snape was saving HP by chanting a spell during the game, I began to believe that Snape was a good person, but sometimes he was not good at expressing it, huh.
Another person I admire the most is Professor McGonagall, an amiable grandmother who also gave HP the first "broom".
Later, I finally watched the live-action version of HP, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd parts did not go to the cinema to see, but bought back the disc to watch at home, and I don't remember that the cinema was not on it at that time...
Later, when the author released the fifth Book of the Phoenix, we were finally able to grab the latest one that had just been released like other children in the world. I remember that there were already advertisements in the bookstore several days in advance. Of course, I did not miss this opportunity, the day after the release, I went home with a thick Phoenix, it seems to have spent more than 200 yuan, and now I think about it is really painful...
When I watched the Order of the Phoenix, it was too thick, every time I finished reading Chapter 1, I put it down, and when I picked it up and read it, it had been many months, And Chapter 1 was about forgetting everything, so I had to read it from the beginning, and then I put it down again... Back and forth, I read Chapter 1 several times, but I never read it any further.
At that time, in order to prepare for studying abroad, I was learning a language, and I needed an English name, so I went to ask one of our American uncles, what name should I take? The uncle asked me back, what do you like? Reading a book, I replied, and he asked, what book to read? I said, like Harry Potter, the kind with magic. The uncle thought about it and replied, Well, recently there was a TV series on TV, about a little girl who can magic, Sabrina, what about the name? Well, Sabrina, that name I've heard, there used to be a movie called Sabrina, so I used that name as my English name, and I use it to this day.
I was already in Melbourne for the fourth Goblet of Fire movie, and my main entertainment was to go to the movie every Tuesday, and although there were no subtitles and the English tone that I wasn't used to listening to, I still wanted to see how the director interpreted this imaginary magical world. Remember that there were very few people, the boy who accompanied me looked at it and fell asleep, alas, who told him that he had never seen any of the HP parts, and went to see the 4th part at once, it was more difficult, huh.
By the time the 5th movie was released, I had already returned to China, and the book was finally knocked down by me, and I participated in a free movie viewing event, saying that it was the premiere at 12:00 a.m., in fact, it had been released abroad for several months, alas... I remember that the cinema is Wanda of Dawanglu, arrived nearly 2 hours in advance, there is a game hall next to it, I want to buy a few coins, play games, kill time, but after a while, 100 yuan of game coins were consumed by me... Before the opening of the movie, I also saw a lot of performers imitating HP, although the image is still different, but it is still surrounded by a large group of people to take pictures, I also grabbed a few photos, the photos do not know hidden under the folder, if you find it, turn around and make up. Movie... Chinese dubbing, so thick a book has been cut off by many scenes that I personally think are still important. At the end of the movie, as soon as I got out of the movie theater, I turned around, walked for half a day to get on the car, it was almost 3 a.m., as soon as I got on the car, the driver came to a U-turn, and I realized that I had been walking in the opposite direction of home, and I was almost in Tongxian (this is what the driver said). A free movie, plus a taxi fare, that premiere cost $150...
Reading Part 6, the Half-Blood Prince, who dislikes Harry Potter more and more, thinks that he is always targeting Snape, until finally Snape kills the old headmaster, I firmly believe that this is all fake, the old headmaster is pretending to be dead...
Finally, the last one came, of course, I still bought the original version to read as soon as it was released, I remember that at that time, on TV, on the radio, in people's dialogue, as long as you pay attention to listening, you can hear and see someone talking about the ending of HP, I don't listen to anything, I don't look at anything, I am a strong reading, afraid of being "spoiled" before reading the ending. But one day, just as I was reading 1/2, one of our co-workers, suddenly asked me out loud, Ginny ended up marrying HP, right---!!!
In the last part, every time I saw Thatpe finally sink into the snow, when I saw Harry Potter say to Voldemort that Snape had loved Lily since he was a child, and when I saw Harry Potter sending his children to school and telling my son the origin of his name, I had the urge to cry.
When I turned the last page, I was still recalling the perfect ending that the author had dedicated to us, and I felt that if there was a loss, after all, the Harry Potter series did not only accompany me for 1 year, 2 years, but nearly 10 years of time, I don't remember where to start, but a little bit of discovery is almost to say goodbye, now the mood is a bit contradictory, and I want to see the lower part of HP and the Deathly Hallows, but there is a million unwillingness.
It's not just the children of the School of Magic who have gone from youth to maturity and grown together, but also, you, me, she/he/it
Finally, I would like to attach a poem written at this time 4 years ago to remember the years when Alan Rickman walked with me through the movie:
The first sight of the tiger's boldness
The cloaked bandits held the gun
Rational and emotional temperament change
Colonel Sven weaves
Lost love wash cut blow
Uninjusted yin and yang people ghost love
Galactic comic game play
Russian demon monks cursed the court
Old father anti-daughter perfume
Humiliated Todd and lost his life
Miracle medicine became Bole
During the snow season, visitors warm their hearts
Since Harry Potter
Love Apothecary Magician
Sacrifice for love with tyrants
Yonghua Elk Protects Orphan Nephew
