Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

原著比电影好看180条街，看完电影我的短评里有一句“罗恩和邓布利多有点像狂躁症”，看书时却觉得这是目前为止最精彩的一本。人物饱满立体（尤其喜欢对赫敏的刻画），伏笔回收流畅，开篇就矛盾重重冲突拉满，可以说是剧情转折之作——“Decent people are so easy to manipulate”，小巴蒂说的这句话其实比邓布利多对塞德里克的悼词更让我觉得冲击、难忘。 我们想去相信正直与善良有力量，事实是与邪恶抗争时，它常常黯淡退场。不管是我还是哈利，见过这种退场后就难保天真了。

“Voldemort is back！” 故事开头，明明还是一个魔法学校间举办交流联谊会的展开，行至结尾，却发现这个争霸赛从头至尾都是伏地魔的阴谋，在魔法部、魔法学校、预言家日报等机构中相关人物各怀鬼胎的推波助澜下，哈利就这样被一步步推进陷阱中，为魔王的再次回归贡献了一血。最为讽刺的是，结尾处魔法部部长康奈利•福吉为了保全自己的职位，逃避伏地魔回归的事实，竭力粉饰太平，不惜与邓布利多决裂—— 面对麦格教授盛怒之下陈述的伏地魔回归并杀死学生塞德里克的事实，福吉竭力否认并声称霍格沃茨在故意散布恐慌： “I see no evidence to the contrary! " shouted Fudge, now matching her anger, his face purpling. " It seems to me that you are all determined to start a panic that will destabilize everything we have worked for these last thirteen years 面对邓布利多联合巨人以共同对抗伏地魔的提议，福吉却因为害怕公众指责而威胁自己的官位而断然拒绝： “If the magical community got wind that I had approached the giants -people hate them, Dumbledore - end of my career -" 邓布利多也深知福吉并不是一个领导者，而只是一个政客，所以动之以情 晓之以理，甚至诉诸了荣誉和恐惧来规劝福吉： "You are blinded, " said Dumbledore, his voice rising now, the aura of power around him palpable, his eyes blazing once more, " by the love of the office you hold, Cornelius” “I tell you now-take the steps I have suggested, and you will be remembered, in office or out, as one of the bravest and greatest Ministers of Magic we have ever known.Fail to act - and history will remember you as the man who stepped aside and allowed Voldemort a second chance to destroy the world we have tried to rebuild” 但最终魔王回归的事实和邓布利多的规劝仍然没有让福吉转变态度，他与邓布利多决裂了，以魔法部为代表的政府彻底退回到龟缩的保守状态，成为坐视伏地魔势力壮大的帮凶。这一个设定很明显在暗示二战时初期英法政府对纳粹的绥靖政策，但放到全球疫情肆虐的今天，依然毫不过时，照出了许多国家和政府面对危机时的丑恶嘴脸。 最后，按照惯例，还是需要“踩”一下电影版，真的省略了很多丰富的情结，而这种省略造成了故事逻辑的不通顺、人物形象的扁平化和核心思想的缺憾，比如克劳奇父子故事线的删减大大降低了对魔法部的官僚主义批判力度，小天狼星戏份的删减使得这个人物的魅力和他与哈利之间亦父亦友的感情的褪色，最让人不能接受的是，赫敏帮助家养小精灵获得自由的努力则被全盘砍掉，而只是沦为了一个围在主角哈利身边提供关心和建议的工具人，这完全违背了作者创造这个人物出来以代表女性主义崛起的初衷。 所以，再说一遍，书远远比电影要精彩！

我承认这一部前面的魁地奇世界杯让我一度想放弃，但慢慢看下去才知道世界杯要引出的是怎样一场阴谋。火焰杯是目前最精彩的一部（但也是最长的一部），伏地魔的崛起是十几年的精心策划，等待哈利的又是什么困难呢？ I'll admit it—the opening chapters at the Quidditch World Cup nearly made me want to give up. The long descriptions of tents, leprechauns, and the match itself felt oddly slow for a Harry Potter book. But as I pushed through, I realized the World Cup wasn't filler at all. It was the first piece of a much darker puzzle. The Goblet of Fire is by far the most exciting book in the series so far, even though it's also the longest. Once the Triwizard Tournament begins, the pace never lets up. The three tasks are thrilling and dangerous, and the mystery of who put Harry's name in the Goblet keeps you guessing until the very end. But the real shock comes in the final chapters. The resurrection of Voldemort isn't some sudden event—it's the result of over a decade of careful planning. From his hiding place in Albania to Wormtail's betrayal to Barty Crouch Jr. impersonating Mad-Eye Moody, every detail has been orchestrated. Voldemort didn't just want to return; he wanted to do so using Harry's blood, so he could finally touch the boy who defeated him. The final scene, with Harry clinging to Cedric's body as he returns to Hogwarts, marks a turning point. The childhood magic is over. What awaits Harry is not just more adventures, but a real war. And that is both terrifying and impossible to look away from.

上一本感觉严肃了起来，这本一开始就恐怖了起来… 小时候看自动代入女巫的角色，现在看自动带入麻瓜的角色，参加过战争的老园丁偷听到了伏地魔预谋杀人，他是个孤僻固执、腿脚不便的老头，但他也想要去报警保护那个可能要被杀的男孩，可是他被发现了，他急中生智地虚张声势，但是伏地魔抬手就是一个阿瓦达啃大瓜！唉…… 赫敏一如既往地机敏勇敢聪慧，甚至主动成立了为家养小精灵维权的组织！虽然只有哈利和罗恩（不情愿地）加入了，但是赫敏的共情力和行动力真是绝绝子。 虽然哈利成为了三强争霸赛的选手之一，但是赫敏陪他练习、帮他找方法、当他被谣言攻击（赫敏也被攻击）的时候劝他无视，还在罗恩跟哈利闹脾气的时候多次给双方说好话找台阶（我就想问问哈利罗恩你们还记得去年你们是咋对她的吗？）不过书里能看到哈利努力地学习、练习、为三强争霸赛做准备，虽然有贵人，多比和桃金娘（哈利之后给多比买了袜子，可是桃金娘呢？完全没有去盥洗室看她啊！）和小巴蒂（也算吧），自己也是坚持找解法、练习到最后一刻。突然明白下一部凤凰社他能教大家黑魔法防御术了，之前看电影会觉得是主角光环。 有一个新的感悟是书里追求噱头的女记者丽塔和她的速记羽毛笔，这不就是现在的AI吗？随便就能写一个夺人眼球的故事，还能调整语气是阴阳怪气还是刻薄伤人。虽然故事发生在魔法世界，但和现实世界无比相似，所以更觉得黑暗。但同时，也会觉得书里传递的能量有很真实的分量。 伏地魔回来了，海格说：”No good sittin worryin about it. What's comin will come, an we'll meet it when it does."

19.1万词，34小时44分钟，91.5词/分钟 感觉读了有一辈子 🥹 故事到了这一本才算真正拉开序幕，前面3本完全乌托邦式童话。 依旧在故事开头就被剧透了伪装者的真实身份，探秘体验大打折扣。虽然也早早被剧透了虐点，但在虐点真正到来的时候，本泪点无下限人士还是哭懵了，J.K.罗琳你好狠的心👋 “What would come, would come... and he would have to meet it when it did.”

不知不觉已经读完第四部。读魔法石时每一页都有看不懂的单词和语句，但是到了火焰杯阅读速度快了很多，英语语感确实有进步！ 至于小说本身，最让我意难平的是Cedric,朴实，善良，忠诚的大男孩轻易被Lord Dark夺走，谁让你不是主角呢？这就让我想起冰与火之歌里面的主角，纷纷在让人意想不到的情境中下线，没有绝对的善与恶，只有权力的博弈和绞杀。 Lord Voldemort 和他的supporters-The Death Eaters很像希特勒和他的纳粹组织，抑或像别的Great leader 和他的faithful gangs.当它们席卷文明世界时，其结果绝对不会是魔法世界中正义战胜邪恶，有的只是文明被野蛮摧毁。 本书中最让我感动的是赫敏帮助家养小精灵，发起SPEW行动（Stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare）。也只有处在文明世界经过现代议事训练才能有这样的举动。为弱势群体发声似乎在东方某国是个比较作死的行为…… 还有Council,也只有文明世界才会出现。从霍格沃茨校长到魔法部长一律要经council 选举产生。 到此为止，五星推荐！ 赶紧去读下一部去也！

哈利波特系列最喜欢的一本（不管是剧情反转还是人物刻画）！也是初中时看的第一本，当时是碰巧看到表姐家有这本书就借来看了，火焰杯让我结缘魔法世界，此后一发不可收拾，熬夜打着手电在被窝里看哈哈哈哈。剩下的六本都是东拼西凑借的同学的，也断断续续补完了八部电影，现在又在一本一本啃原著，这学期还去了环球影城，我真的愿意相信这个魔法世界的存在，虚构比现实更加真实！不管看多少遍，哈利波特总能让我发现新的细节，给我带来新的惊喜！

HARRY POTTER is a modern story, which tells us how to fight against the ugly world by imagination and hardwork. It's not about the magic things wroten in the books only, but some useful information and suggestions both will help us get absorbed into a creative society from our now living one. Ancient story keeps talking about extraordinary things far away form us, leaving nothing but some pleasures after the quick reading. However, HARRY POTTER is not the type like others, because it has an ambition to include the normal society into the magic one, gives us a close feeling about the characters, makes us think hard as much as the characters did, especially to some certain urging situations. Thus, I'd like to say to readers, read more modern stories, and get our brain armed for the rapidly changed society, maybe there's also a big war waiting for us to battle between justice and evil. As for the characters, we all know Harry is a most bravery guy in the book, and we honor him very much. J.K. Rowling really made a significant success in creating one boy like Harry. But I want to emphasize that the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, is a most respectable man in the book, not only his great mind to help more and more races communicate with each others, but also show a magnificent leadership when Voldemort has risen from the hidden place. We can even draw a conlusion if the good wizards don't have Dumbledore as a leader, there is no chance to win again. So, let's give our gratitudes to Rowling once more for her second successfully creation, an old but full of wisdom man. ps: This is the most thickest book I've ever read. I will keep trying my best patience to conqure the next book of HARRY POTTER series. Thanks to Rowling's persistence, which helped her to finish writing all of the seven beautiful books.

纸书734页……真是一段酣畅淋漓的阅读体验！ 最引起我注意的其实是，后来那么多学生说，如果不是一个疯狂的食死徒的话，小巴蒂克劳奇真是一个很好的老师、黑魔法防御术老师。如果说，小巴蒂克劳奇是一个很好的老师，是因为他是一个疯狂的食死徒呢？他的信仰的确很坚定，就是有点太疯狂、太哥特了。 整个一本书的写作上，罗琳运用了大量的不可靠叙述、大量的伏笔并回收他们。不论是承接上一部《阿兹卡班的囚徒》（小矮星彼得走投无路，除了投奔伏地魔以外别无选择），还是开启下一部《凤凰社》（福吉与邓布利多分道扬镳）。 如果做话语分析的话，《食死徒》那一章伏地魔的、《吐真剂》那一章小巴蒂克劳奇的大量独白，以及最后离校宴会邓布利多的演说会是不错的选择。罗琳同样擅长刻画各种各样的人物，尤其是小巴蒂克劳奇与伏地魔之间的张力，源自于对替代性父权的去个体化的自我投射。 最终，我们还是要记得the choice between what is right and what is easy.

《哈利波特与火焰杯》 之前就听说，第四部的故事情节脱离童书的设定，很是精彩，细细读来，果然如此。在这部小说中，随着故事情节的发展，人物增加了很多，悬疑色彩也增加了很多，最后的结局令人感到不可思议，没想到魔法世界也有“狸猫换太子”事件。 在书中感受哈利波特的勇敢和善良，感受罗恩在羡慕嫉妒好友的同时还是忍不住要帮助好友度过难关，感受赫敏对好朋友的全身心付出。当然，也感受到了黑魔法势力的猖獗，看着黑魔法势力的崛起，以及一些本已改邪归正的黑巫师再次回归到伏地魔的麾下，令人着急而担忧。 小说中的细节描写很到位，常常跟着魁地奇比赛兴奋揪心，跟着三强争霸赛担忧选手的安危，跟着每一位主人公进入他们的小世界体验魔法世界的乐趣。 当然，在这本中，明显捡回了丢失多年的英语，看原文越发流畅了，这种感觉很棒。
