星期天晚上逛了三間 Shoppers 才買到書，星期一開始讀，花了兩個晚上的時候，終於在星期二完成了！！！原來這本書跟上一本已經隔了兩年，我都不覺有這麼久啊！！！
先來重溫一下我對 Book 6 的看法：
| Thursday, July 21, 2005 Harry Potter 6: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Finished reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince early this morning. (Well, yea... I sorta pulled an all-nighter.) It was a bit of a disappointment. The whole 600 pages served more as a prologue to Book 7 than being a story of its own. There weren't many actions but a lot of talk, in fact it was the last 50 pages where all the actions took place. But the plot is intriguing, despite the fact that this book is very wordy. JK Rowling lingered too long at some "unimportant" places, such as the romance between Ron and Lavender, or the boring, long, opening conversation between the Muggle Prime Minister and the now former-Minister of Magic Conelius Fudge. I would like to see some scenes/chapters to be more developed, like Harry wasn't really learning any complex charms or magic in this book. I'm not sure how he's going to face Lord Voldermort in the book coming ahead. I am expecting a lot more from Book 7. It should be full of adventures. ^^ |
相比起跟青少年一般焦躁的 Order of Phoenix (Book 5) 和冗悶的 Half Blood Prince (Book 6)，Harry Potter 7 真的是非常好看！！！蓋上書的一刻，有種很失落的感覺。每一年，我都殷切期盼新的 Harry Potter 書和電影。這以後，what am I going to pine for and obsess with? The feeling of good and satisfied isn't as sad as saying bye.
令我最佩服的是 Harry Potter 的佈局都非常細緻，不要少看每個一細節和伏線，因為他們有千絲萬縷的關係。尤其在大結局一切的迷團都會解開，一邊看一邊驚喜，有「原來係咁」的驚嘆。因為他的 twist 是絕對令人意想不到，但是又合理得天衣無縫。看完後，我有將全套書重溫一次，找出每個 clue 的慾望。=P
Harry Potter 引人入勝之處，在於 JK Rowling 構造出一個完整的魔法世界，這個世界是人性善美惡和 fantasy 的融會。看 Harry Potter 7 時令我最 uneasy 的，不是有人死掉，而是這個魔幻世界中發生的事情，不就正正是納粹黨對付猶太人的經歷、又或者歷史上其他 unjust 的屠殺或慘劇嗎？
這些慘劇不斷的發生，是不是因為我們每個人或每個種族自身的優越感成為我們去愛、去包容的籬牆？可怕的是籬牆成為根深柢固的恨，而居於上位的一方，利用他們的 power 和武器 (魔法) 去宣揚這份優越感，剷除異己。
Harry Potter 的魔法世界，其實就是我們這個世界已經發生了，或正在發生的事情。
把這些慘劇投射在虛構的世界中，會否令我們多一點希望、少一點罪惡感？
