What changes would you make to Harry Potter?

你会对《哈利波特》做出什么改编？

如果我们可以改编《哈利波特》，你肯定有不少想法吧，看看下面这个回答是否戳中了你：

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.

• 哈利波特和卢娜在一起，而非金妮。和金妮在一起有点“陈词滥调”的感觉（受苦受难的少女和她的救命恩人在一起），而且卢娜很赞，似乎是唯一一个真正了解哈利的人，是哈利很好的配偶/平衡。如果只让我做一个改变，那就改这个。

哈利波特和卢娜

• 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.

  纳威和金妮在一起。在霍格沃茨的五、六年级，被欺辱多年、笨手笨脚的纳威最终经历了一些大的变化。七年级时，在哈利·波特不在的情况下，纳威领导D.A.（睿丁君：秋·张提议的“防御协会”，因为简称：D.A.，被认可后同时解释为邓布利多军，赫敏在名单顶端写为：Dumbledore's Army）保护众多学生不被食死徒老师杀死。这使得他赢得金妮的尊重，然而他最终移情哈利，和纳威愉快分手。

• 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.

  魂器少一点。忘记“神奇的7”（而且哈利是一个意外的补充），在原故事里，魂器很多而且最后一个太容易被销毁了。它花了6本书来销毁一个魂器（还有一个来自雷古勒斯·布莱克的假魂器），然后所有剩余的婚期在第七本书的几章里面全部被销毁。如果只有5个魂器（包括哈利），这个故事会更好。那就是：日记、项链、戒指、纳吉尼（睿丁君：那条蛇），我会删除赫奇帕奇的金杯和拉文克劳的王冠。在我看来，伏地魔对这些“房子”的推崇绝对没有意义。

• 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.

  爱情药水并没有用。爱是贯穿整本书的一个共同主题，而且经常强调伏地魔不懂爱，和爱如何征服一切。那么爱情药水又怎么可能起作用？爱情药水那么强大、危险，应该和不可饶恕咒是一个量级的。甚至伏地魔的诞生也是因为某人用了爱情药水（伏地魔的母亲老汤姆·里德尔使用了），这也（部分地）导致了伏地魔无法去爱。

• 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.

  提供一个正当的理由，给整个火焰杯密谋案，以及哈利赢得三强争霸赛的必要性原因。例如，可能门钥匙只能在魔法部的帮助下创建，这使得三强杯成为唯一的选择。

• 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。起码地：有一个最低时间限制，金贼应该只值50分左右。（睿丁君：抓住金贼得150分，抓住基本就能赢确实很不合理），介绍一些安全咒语来保护那些从扫帚上掉落的人（睿丁君：不考虑安全也有违逻辑），然后场地小一点，给所有观众全景望远镜。

• 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.

  这可能引战，不过我觉得哈利及时找到斯内普并且把记忆转移到冥想盆是个巨大的巧合。相反，我会按下面这样做：斯内普早已把记忆放到玻璃瓶内然后把它藏在一个队哈利和他都有特殊意义的地方（比如，邓布利多死的那个天文塔，或者校长室），这样的话，如果斯内普死了，它的肖像还可以告诉哈利这个瓶子。当哈利在尖叫棚遇到垂死的斯内普，他告诉他去哪找瓶子就行了。

在你看来，上面这些是否有更改的必要呢？如果是你，你有把故事变得更完美的改编吗？
