What changes would you make to Harry Potter?

你會對《哈利波特》做出什麼改編？

如果我們可以改編《哈利波特》，你肯定有不少想法吧，看看下面這個回答是否戳中了你：

Harry ends up with Luna, not Ginny. With Ginny it’s too much of a cliché (damsel-in-distress ends up with her rescuer) plus Luna is awesome and seems to be the only person who truly understands Harry and is a good match / counterbalance for him. If I could just make one change, it would be this.

• 哈利波特和盧娜在一起，而非金妮。和金妮在一起有點“陳詞濫調”的感覺（受苦受難的少女和她的救命恩人在一起），而且盧娜很贊，似乎是唯一一個真正瞭解哈利的人，是哈利很好的配偶/平衡。如果只讓我做一個改變，那就改這個。

哈利波特和盧娜

• Neville ends up with Ginny. After being the victim of bullies for years and being clumsy in general, Neville undergoes some big changes in his 5th and 6th year at Hogwarts. He leads the D.A. in Harry’s absence in the 7th year and protects many of the students from being bullied by the Death Eater teachers. This earns him Ginny’s respect and she finally moves on from Harry and ends up happily with Neville.

  納威和金妮在一起。在霍格沃茨的五、六年級，被欺辱多年、笨手笨腳的納威最終經歷了一些大的變化。七年級時，在哈利·波特不在的情況下，納威領導D.A.（睿丁君：秋·張提議的“防禦協會”，因為簡稱：D.A.，被認可後同時解釋為鄧布利多軍，赫敏在名單頂端寫為：Dumbledore's Army）保護眾多學生不被食死徒老師殺死。這使得他贏得金妮的尊重，然而他最終移情哈利，和納威愉快分手。

• Fewer Horcruxes. Forget about the “magic number 7” (and Harry was an unexpected addition anyway). In the original story, there were too many Horcruxes and the last ones were too easily destroyed. It took six books to destroy one Horcrux (and find the fake locket from Regulus Black) and then all the remaining Horcruxes were destroyed in a couple of chapters in book 7. If there were only 5 Horcruxes (including Harry), the story would be better for it. That is: the diary, the locket, the ring, Nagini and Harry. I would remove Hufflepuff’s Cup and Ravenclaw’s Diadem. It never really made much sense to me anyway that Voldemort would hold those houses in such high esteem.

  魂器少一點。忘記“神奇的7”（而且哈利是一個意外的補充），在原故事裡，魂器很多而且最後一個太容易被銷燬了。它花了6本書來銷燬一個魂器（還有一個來自雷古勒斯·布萊克的假魂器），然後所有剩餘的婚期在第七本書的幾章裡面全部被銷燬。如果只有5個魂器（包括哈利），這個故事會更好。那就是：日記、項鍊、戒指、納吉尼（睿丁君：那條蛇），我會刪除赫奇帕奇的金盃和拉文克勞的王冠。在我看來，伏地魔對這些“房子”的推崇絕對沒有意義。

日記

• Love potions don’t actually work. Love is a common theme throughout all books and it is often emphasized how Voldemort doesn’t understand love and how love conquers all. Then how is it possible that love potions seem to actually work? Love potions are so powerful and dangerous that they should be in the same category as the Unforgiveable Curses. Even Voldemort was conceived as a result of someone using a love potion. This conception (partly) led to Voldemort being unable to love.

  愛情藥水並沒有用。愛是貫穿整本書的一個共同主題，而且經常強調伏地魔不懂愛，和愛如何征服一切。那麼愛情藥水又怎麼可能起作用？愛情藥水那麼強大、危險，應該和不可饒恕咒是一個量級的。甚至伏地魔的誕生也是因為某人用了愛情藥水（伏地魔的母親老湯姆·裡德爾使用了），這也（部分地）導致了伏地魔無法去愛。

• Provide a valid reason for the whole plot of Goblet of Fire and why it was necessary to let Harry win the Triwizard Tournament. For example, perhaps portkeys can only be created with help from the Ministry and this would make the Triwizard cup the only possible option.

  提供一個正當的理由，給整個火焰杯密謀案，以及哈利贏得三強爭霸賽的必要性原因。例如，可能門鑰匙只能在魔法部的幫助下創建，這使得三強杯成為唯一的選擇。

• More examples of good wizards/witches who were in Slytherin.

• Quidditch. At a minimum: introduce a maximum time limit, the Snitch should only be worth 50 points or so, introduce some kind of safety spell that protects participants who fall off their broom and finally make the playing field much smaller and give all the spectators Omnioculars.

  魁地奇。起碼地：有一個最低時間限制，金賊應該只值50分左右。（睿丁君：抓住金賊得150分，抓住基本就能贏確實很不合理），介紹一些安全咒語來保護那些從掃帚上掉落的人（睿丁君：不考慮安全也有違邏輯），然後場地小一點，給所有觀眾全景望遠鏡。

• Perhaps this will lead to disagreements, but I felt it was a huge coincidence that Harry managed to reach Snape in time for him to transfer his memory for the Pensieve. Instead, I would do the following: Snape already put the memory in a vial and stored it in a place with special meaning for him and Harry (e.g. the Astronomy Tower where Dumbledore died or simply the Headmaster’s Office). That way, if Snape died his portrait could have still told Harry about the vial. When Harry meets the dying Snape in the Shrieking Shack, he just tells him right away where to find it.

  這可能引戰，不過我覺得哈利及時找到斯內普並且把記憶轉移到冥想盆是個巨大的巧合。相反，我會按下面這樣做：斯內普早已把記憶放到玻璃瓶內然後把它藏在一個隊哈利和他都有特殊意義的地方（比如，鄧布利多死的那個天文塔，或者校長室），這樣的話，如果斯內普死了，它的肖像還可以告訴哈利這個瓶子。當哈利在尖叫棚遇到垂死的斯內普，他告訴他去哪找瓶子就行了。

在你看來，上面這些是否有更改的必要呢？如果是你，你有把故事變得更完美的改編嗎？
