In 1997, british writer J.K. Rowling first showed people her magical world, and the Harry Potter series of stories has attracted countless people around the world to immerse themselves in that fantasy country.
Around 2000, Warner Bros. began to adapt "Harry Potter" into a series of films of the same name, and in the following decade, more intuitive and exciting magic stories were presented to the eyes of the world, and the interesting plot of the novel and the shocking scenes in the movie jointly captured a large number of hard-loyal Harry fans.
Subsequently, harry's senior, Newt Scamander, and his fantastic animal stories were also enthusiastically pursued by the audience.
"Harry Potter" has been around for 24 years, and its popularity has remained high.
Just in September this year, the six-year-old Universal Studios Beijing Resort finally began to open to visitors, and there are several major theme areas such as Transformers, Jurassic, Minions, Kung Fu Panda, etc., but all of these areas are not as popular as the ace attraction in the resort, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Universal Studios Beijing Resort has built a real diagon alley on Chinese soil, and there is a castle that is supposed to be located in Hokwaz, and its original equal proportions have made Harry fans crazy.
Almost every day, the most crowded area is the Harry Potter area, the longest queue of the project is also a Harry Potter related project, you can hardly imagine, even enter the shop to buy wands, have to queue for an hour or two, Harry, Hermione, Dumbledore and other popular magicians of the same wand, selling out is the norm.
Obviously, the opening of Universal Studios Beijing has earned Harry Potter a new wave of popularity in the Chinese.
People love Harry Potter to the point where it's perfect, so few people think about whether there are some plot flaws in such a classic other-world story.
For example, why did Voldemort have so many loyal followers?
In the Harry Potter spin-off series Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, there is also a villain who specializes in black magic and plagues the world, named Grindelwald.
Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore were classmates and best friends, and he was known as the first Dark Lord, but his blackening process was as unclear as Voldemort's, and he seemed to be just a traumatized child who studied magic at Hogwarts for several years, and instead of being cured, he turned into a murderous demon.
However, Grindelwald's character is slightly more plump than Voldemort's, at least after he became famous for black and evil, the film uses a considerable part of the plot to introduce his personal ability and demagogy, in addition to having powerful magic, those followers are willing to submit to him because his empathy ability is very strong, every three or two sentences can touch the bottom of people's hearts.
Grindelwald was like the founders of the real cults, using his original doctrines to gather groups of believers one after another.
It was as if the Death Eaters had instinctively shown loyalty to him from beginning to end, not succumbing to the forced obedience of powerful forces, but treating Voldemort like a god from the bottom of their hearts, even if they were despised, insulted, and oppressed by him, and did not change their original intentions (most of the Death Eaters were like this, the Malfoy family was a special case).
Could it be that the Death Eaters followed Voldemort because they had masochistic tendencies?
This is a kind of creative flaw in the author's artificial creation of Gods, and does not give a reasonable reason for the identity of the characters, but in the real situation, no matter what group leader wants the team members to be willing to follow, either eloquent or subdue people with virtue, it is impossible to really win people's hearts like Voldemort by force alone.
Or are there any senior Harry fans who can dig deeper into this issue?
