2、对同人写作有用的罗琳访谈 ...
Jaclyn: Did Lily ever have feelings back for Snape
J.K. Rowling: Yes. She might even have grown to love him romantically(she certainly loved him as a friend) if he had not loved Dark Magic so much, and been drawn to such loathesome people and acts.
莉莉喜欢过斯内普吗？
是的，她可能会爱上他，她肯定以爱朋友的方式爱他。
前提是如果斯内普不那么喜欢黑魔法。不和那些莉莉讨厌的人在一起。
====================================================================================
Lechicaneuronline: Do you think Snape is a hero
J.K. Rowling: Yes, I do; though a very flawed hero. An anti-hero, perhaps. He is not a particularly likeable man in many ways. He remains rather cruel, a bully, riddled with bitterness and insecurity — and yet he loved, and showed loyalty to that love and, ultimately, laid down his life because of it. That’s pretty heroic!
你觉得斯内普是个英雄吗。
我是这样觉得的，但他是一个非常有缺陷的英雄，一个反英雄，或许，他在很多发面都无法让人喜欢，他依然冷酷，爱欺负人，环绕着恶毒，不安全，但他爱过，和展现了他对爱的忠诚，最终，他也因此倒在生命的尽头。这真应该是个英雄了。
【林之：另一种翻译】
问：你认为斯内普是英雄吗？
答：是，他是。但他并不是没有缺点。他在很多方面并不招人喜欢，他一直很冷酷，有些残忍，总处在痛苦与缺乏安全感的纠结中，但他有爱，并对他爱的人显示了忠诚，并为此付出了生命，从这一点说，他是一个真正的英雄。
========================================================================================
“Lupin was very fond of Lily” but he did not compete with James for her. [Read the entire quote from the Leaky Cauldron, 2005]
卢平曾经非常爱莉莉,不过他没有和詹姆竞争
=======================================================================================
Nithya: Lily detested Mulciber Avery. If snape really loved her,why didn't he sacrifice their company for her sake
J.K. Rowling: Well, that is Snape’s tragedy. Given his time over again he would not have become a Death Eater, but like many insecure, vulnerable people (like Wormtail) he craved membership of something big and powerful, something impressive. He wanted Lily and he wanted Mulciber too. He never really understood Lily’s aversion; he was so blinded by his attraction to the dark side he thought she would find him impressive if he became a real Death Eater.
莉莉厌恶Mulciber Avery,如果斯内普真的爱她，为什么他不为了她而牺牲他的那些同伴的友谊？
JK:这就斯内普的悲剧，给了他一次又一次的机会让他不成为食尸徒。不过，他和许多和许多安全感缺失，容易被攻击的人一样（像虫尾巴）他依靠于那些强，有能力的，让人印象深刻的人，他想要莉莉，他也想要MULCIBER，他从来没有真正理解莉莉讨厌的人，他盲目了，他对黑魔法的着迷，还有以为可以用变成食尸徒的方式真正感动她。
=========================================================================================
基本上,我看到魔杖是类似有感觉的生物.你知道吗,他们会像别的生物一样被唤醒,他们不完全是动物,不过差不多是动物了魔杖是你可以找到最类似动物的东西.因为他们携带了太多魔法.这个就是魔杖的要点了,现在,不同的魔杖会其不同的反应.长老魔杖是最不懂感情,最冷静残忍的魔杖,它只会考虑能力.别的魔杖会对一个人有一定的忠诚度,所以哪怕你被使用"除你武器"了,但是还继续拿着那魔杖,哪怕你在战争中失败了,但还拿着那魔杖,那魔杖还会为你服务.他们不会那么轻易的放弃魔杖的主人,如果.一个魔杖是在一个正式的成人的决斗中赢回来的,这个魔杖或许会交换主人,而且它会让新主人得心应手.所以当哈利拿了德拉科的魔杖.那就发生了(魔杖转换主人的事件)不过你知道我是什么意思.哦,罗恩,李木魔杖在别人手里抢来,所以魔杖可以共用（这个魔杖可以为虫尾巴好好服务同样可以为罗恩好好服务）,如果一个魔杖选择一个有能力的人.它们会更喜欢魔杖所选的主人,但是.长老魔杖只对能力有忠诚.所以他是完全没有情感的.它随着力量走.所以如果你赢了.那么你就赢了魔杖,所以你不需要杀(原来的主人去得到).不过我从书里指出.除了邓布利多
.长老魔杖拥有无限的魔法.几乎是无可免地发生（杀戮）,巫师为了得到魔杖在决斗中都准备好了被谋杀.杀人或被杀.这个魔杖吸引伏地魔的时候,伏地魔弄糊涂了,而且准备用力量去谋杀(从而赢得魔杖)
罗琳指出，2年级的决斗俱乐部只是练习，双方在思想上没有要杀对方。也没有要从对方手里抢魔杖，所以魔杖没有交换主人
=======================================================================================
MV: Was Snape always intended to be a hero
JKR: [sharp intake of breath] Is he a hero You see I don't see him really as a hero.
MV: Really
JKR: Yeh. He's spiteful. He's a bully. All these things are still true of Snape, even at the end of this book. But, was he brave Yes, immensely.
Greta, 8: If Snape didn't love Lily, would he have still tried to protect Harry
JKR: No. He Definitely wouldn't have done. He wouldn't have been remotely interested in what happened to this boy.
MV：斯内普是不是一直都计划好了成为英雄
罗琳.深呼吸,他是英雄吗你看我没有真正看出他是英雄.
MV：真的吗
罗琳：是,他是怀有恶意的,他是个欺负弱小的,这些东西仍然是斯内普真实的一面,哪怕到书的结局,但是,他勇敢吗.是的，非常勇敢。
GRETA八岁：如果斯内普没有爱上莉莉.他会依然尝试着保护哈利吗
罗琳：不,他肯定不会这么做.他不会对对这个男孩的事情有任何兴趣.
======================================================================================
关于第五本中神秘司中的"爱的房间"罗琳的解释.
MA: It wasn't called the Love Room.
JKR: Well, there was that mysterious room, we don't know what it is in the Love Room. Yet it was the--(laughter, overtalk) What's in the Love Room. It's the place where they study what Love means. So that room, I believe, would have at its center, a kind of fountain or well containing a love potion, a very powerful love potion. You know that the first time they ever enter Slughorn's Potions class, and he starts talking about Amortentia, the Love Potion, and he says it's the most dangerous one in the room. That's what they would've found in the Love Room. So you would see wizards and witches taking it, they would study the effects. The room, of course, has to be locked. And you know, again, there's this thread running through the books, what Love does, and it raises people to the heights of absolute heroism, as in Lily, Harry, Neville. And it also leads them into acts of foolishness and even evil, which is Bellatrix and also Dumbledore. He became foolish. He lost his center, his moral center, when he became infatuated. So that's what it does, that's what makes it dangerous. And Bellatrix, was, as I think is clear--you know, I doubt that people will be particularly shocked to hear, 'cause I'm sure they've deduced, that Bellatrix is madly, romantically in love with Voldemort. This is--you know, that's the obsession of her life. And I believe that Helena Bonham Carter had to be asked to tone it down after she--(laughs) The producer called me and said,you know, give me some background on Bellatrix so we can tell Helena about it. And I said, well of course, it's a sexual attraction. She's madly in love with this man, and obsessed by him.(laughs) Apparently, they had to ask her to bring it down because she was being a bit too sexy.
MA：那不叫爱情房间..
JKR： 恩那是个神秘的房间.我们不知道爱情房间里到底有什么,是,它是(笑)...什么放在爱情房间里,是一个地方他们学习爱的定义,所以那间房间,我相信,会有它自己的中心,会有一种喷泉含有爱情药水.是一个非常强的爱情药.你们记得他们第一次到SLUGHORN(就是那个6年级新来的魔药老师)的魔药课.和他开始说爱情药.和他说那时房间里最危险的药.,那爱情药就会在爱情房间里找到.所以你看见巫师和女巫说过,在那间房间里,他们会学习爱情药的功效.当然,那房间是要被上锁的.你知道.爱,是一个线索穿越整本书.爱可以做什么,可以让人们提高到完全的英雄主义,像莉莉,哈利和纳威.还有当然会引导他们去愚蠢主义.甚至恶魔,就像BELLATRIX(纳西莎姐姐,中文部知道咋翻译)当然还有邓布利多.他因此变愚蠢了,他失去了他的中心,他的道德中心,他变得昏头昏脑的.所以那就是爱的作用,它可以使人变得危险.BELLATRIX就是如此,我想这个应该是明确的,但是你知道,我怀疑有些人听到会特别吃惊,我确定他们能推导出来.BELLATRIX已经疯狂的爱上了伏地魔,这是你知道,她人生中的困扰,.还有我相信HALENA BONHAN(电影中BELLATRIX扮演者)要把她弄含蓄一点,那个电影制作人者问我,说给点BELLATRIX的背景资料.然后我们可以告诉HALENA.然后我说,那时一种异性相吸.她是疯狂的爱上哪个男的.而且被他困扰了(笑).显然,他们问她要把她弄垮台,因为她太性感了.
==============================================================================
SU: That's so awesome. You know,you mentioned the movies. Somebody who's most amazing in those movies is Alan Rickman as Snape.
JKR: Yeah, definitely.
SU: He's so good. How soon did you tell him about his character How much did he know JKR: He knew very early on that he'd been in love with Lily. 'Cause I told him so. We needed to have a conversation early on. He needed to understand, I think, and does completely understand and did completely understand where this bitterness towards this boy, who's living proof of her preference for another man, came from. Yeah, I told him that. He was the only person who knew that for a long, long time.
SU.那真棒,你知道吗.你提到了电影,有个人在电影里最让人惊叹的.就是ALANRICKMAN 扮演斯内普.
JKR 是,毫无疑问的.
SU.他真棒,你多早的时候告诉他了,他知道多少
JKR: 他很早就知道他喜欢上莉莉了,因为我告诉他了,我们需要一个提前的沟通,他需要理解,我想,和他完全能理解了,他对那个孩子的苦涩和怨恨,他的存在证明了莉莉选择了另一个男人.是,我告诉他了,他是在一个很长时间里唯一一个知道他爱上莉莉的人.
====================================================================================
SU: Snape is so amazing. Was he truly meant to be in Slytherin Snape
JKR: Yes! God,yes! Definitely! At the time when he was sorted-- I believe what Dumbledore believes when he says to Snape in the very last book, "Sometimes I think we sort too soon." To judge someone at the age of 11, to judge them, to set their future course so young, seems to me to be a very harsh thing to do. And it doesn't take into account the fact that we do change and evolve. A lot of people are, at 40, what they were at 11, having said that. So I think the Sorting Hat is shrewd. But Snape does redeem himself and it fails to take that into account. But then again,you can turn that on its head and say, "but maybe, with these people being sorted into Slytherin, someone with the capacity to change themselves also has the capacity to change Slytherin."
JN: And how much is it that being sorted into Slytherin is sorted into good guys and bad guys...
JKR: They're not all bad. I know I've said this before. I think I said it to Emerson - they are not all bad and-- well, far from it, as we know, at the end-- they may have a slightly more highly developed sense of preservation than other people, because-- A part of the final battle that made me smile was Slughorn galloping back with Slytherins. But they've gone off to get reinforcements first,you know what I'm saying So yes, they came back, they came back to fight. But I'm sure many people would say, well that's common sense, isn't it Isn't that smart, to get out, get more people and come back with them It's the old saying, there is no truth, there are only points of view.
SU: 斯内普太让人惊叹了,他真的应该被分配到斯莱哲林吗
JKR: 是,天啊,是,绝对的,当他被分配到斯莱哲林的时候,我相信邓布利多相信的,在最后一本书里,他告诉斯内普,有时候我们分院帽分配得太快了.以11岁的年龄去判断一个人,这么早把他们的未来分类好.看上去是一件很残忍的事情.可是当我们成长的时候.我们还是会转变.很多人在40岁的时候,和他们在11岁的时候一样,我说过这话.所以我想.分院帽是精明的.不过斯内普的确赎回他自己的罪过这个应该计算在内的.但是你也可以转过身来说.不过.可能有些人有能力转变自己,同样有能力转变斯莱哲林.
JN:怎么看待分配到斯莱哲林就是给好孩子与坏孩子分类.
JKR:他们不是都是坏的.我记得我说过.我想我和EMERSOn说了,他们不是都是坏的,不过,从长远来说.在最后一本书里.他们可能会比别的人更有自我保护意识.因为.在"最后的战争"里有一部分让我微笑,是SLUGHORN带着斯莱哲林返回到战斗现场.但是他们先去寻找援军了,你知道我在说什么吧,所以是的,他们回来了,他们回来去战斗.不过我确定有些人会说.那是基本常理.那不是更聪明吗,去找更多的人回来.像以前说的,其实那不是的,那只是部分的观点.
========================================================================================
MA：那反映实在是强大了。。
JKR 恩，我以前告诉过你。MELISSA。以前我想，对于我来说，不诚实的回答一个问题是不对的。我只是觉得那样不道德，我是被一个年轻的女性在CARNEGIE HALL问到的，她问问题的时候先说哈里波特这些书帮助我找回我自己，恩，我的意思是，这个回答是收到所有回答中最好的回答了，然后他她问。邓不利多曾经爱过人吗，所以我就以最真诚的方式告诉她我对这个人物的看法，我总是想着邓不利多是一个同性恋，这个与书有多大的联系？恩。它与书有联系，在第7本中揭露。如果你把他对GRINDELWALD的感情当成一种醉心的迷恋而不是一个直接的朋友关系，这就是我想法，事实上，我知道有些，可能比较敏感的成人读者已经发现了。我不觉得这消息会让他们觉得吃惊。我想孩子会看到一种友谊，一种发展得很深的友谊，但是这些事情毕竟发生了，所以。这对书里有什么联系，对与我来说邓不利多是一个站在爱的立场上，为爱说话的人，他诚挚的相信，在宇宙中，爱是最伟大，最有力量的物质。他因为爱而边的愚昧了吗，这个对我来说才是最有趣的要点，在他年轻的时候，他是，他被迷惑了，他被一个男的，这个男的几乎成了邓不利多的影子，是他内心邪恶的一面（我不知道这样解释DARK TWINS 合不合理，但我觉得还是以意思解释还好，不能用字面解释，请朋友纠正，）他是极其聪明的，几乎为此而道德破产了，而且邓不利多失去了他的道德指南。他希望去相信GRINDELWALD所相信的。所以我想，尤其是一个年轻人爱的驾驭他去做事情，我们把自己的性格做成一张纸，然后填上我们所爱的人想要有的美德与性格。所以邓不利多是犯了错误。他的判断力在那段时间里完全--是非常迷惑的。当然。那不仅仅是被迷惑了，GRINDELWALD给邓不利多一个结论。邓不利多处于进退维谷的结论。我的意思是。邓不利多被隔离了，他是觉得作为一个照顾者是丢脸的，他被照顾者这个头衔所隔离了，从而不能去外面的世界成为一个闪耀的人。他知道他自己，而且他为此而感到惭愧。所以那是个复杂的结果，所以，是，这个就是我一直都是这样看待邓不利多的。对我来说（邓不利多是同性恋）不特别重要，而且我从来，没有被问过邓不利多的爱情生涯，我被问其他问题，当死亡圣器出版的时候。人们对铁三角的未来事情更感兴趣，还有邓不利多的背景故事，事实上，我记得MELISSA 当你和EMERSON在混血王子出版后采访我。我们谈到有什么问题是粉丝们应该问的。我说邓不利多的家庭，我不想说邓不利多的过去，不过你知道。邓不利多的家庭会是一个值得探索的问题，（PROFITABLE LINE OF INQUIRY这个我结合前文翻译，不知道对不对）因为我总是知道他少年时候（LATE TEENS应该是15-20岁）有这一段悲剧故事，这是一个长答案。
===========================================================================================
Edward Hollet的代表W H Smith：如果伏地魔看到博格特，那博格特会变成什么呢？
JK罗琳：伏地魔最害怕的莫过于死亡了。他一直在寻求对抗死亡的方法，所以我们会看到他躺在地上死掉了。
==================================================================================
时代教育周刊的Bethan Roberts：在HP2中，当你戴着眼镜看到蛇怪会怎么样？它能保护你吗？如果能的话那桃金娘怎么死了？如果不能，那为什么不能？
JK罗琳：很棒的问题。这个问题曾经有人问过我。眼镜是不能保护你的。很明显，霍格沃兹有很多人戴眼镜，所以这会对我的情节发展产生影响，所以我决定让眼镜不能保护你。但就像你们说的，贾斯廷（个人认为此处应该是科林•科里维——译者注）被摄象机镜头保护而得以保命，所以我得接受大家的批评，但在这个地方我做过解释，他是通过镜头看到的而不是直视。在这个问题上你可以跟我争辩，我不会责备你，但我已经解释了理由。
==========================================================================================
苏格兰报Kirsten Weir：很多人都在思考这样一个问题——哈利波特是好还是不好。你认为哈利波特对这一代人来说是个好榜样吗？
JK罗琳：我认为哈利就像努力上进的很多人一样，谁都犯过错，谁也可以扮演与自己年龄不相称的角色，但谁能如此忠诚如此勇敢。所以对于他人格这方面，我非常钦佩，我要说他是个好榜样。但这不代表说他是完美的，坦白说，有谁是完美的？但我想如果你注意哈利的生活，你会发现他是极富有同情心的，他努力去做自己该做的事，我觉得这值得人们赞誉。
=========================================================================================
时代周刊George Moore：邓不利多多少岁了？
JK罗琳：我想他大概150岁了。邓不利多跟Flamel不是同龄人，Flamel活了600岁，他跟邓不利多一直是好朋友，但他们不是少年时期的好友。邓不利多的寿命长，也有点罕见。
那他多大？
JK罗琳：150岁。
=======================================================================================
The Sun的 Zoe Brennan – 如果你能选择成为历史上的任何一个人，你会选谁？为什么？
JK Rowling:历史上的任何一个人？
是的。
JK Rowling: 哦唉!你知道，我仰慕很多人，像 Jane Austen，我不认为是快乐的生活，所以我不想过他们的生活。你可能会自私，选择像为享乐而活的亨利8世，我不想成为他们中的任何一个。跟你说实话，我是一个十分快乐的人，我想不到能成为那时代的任何人。
======================================================================================
ITV的Helen Carron：我最喜欢的角色是双胞胎，因为他们很有意思，我也很喜欢他们的发明创造，而我最喜欢的就是他们的伸缩耳。他们魔法笑料店中的哪种发明你最喜欢呢？
JK罗琳：在他们的魔法笑料店中我最喜欢的是白日做梦魔咒（译者没看HP6，不知道译的对不对），你会进入白日梦中，从枯燥无味的课程中摆脱出来。这个产品十分简单，容易操作，它可以带你进入幻想逃避枯燥的课程。我最喜欢这个。
===========================================================================================
卫报的Lizzy Atkinson：哈利的父母已经过世了，但他可以从厄里斯魔镜中看到他们而得到安慰。现在小天狼星也死了，但哈利没有看到他的希望了，这部书越来越黑暗越来越接近现实生活了吗？
JK罗琳：在某种意义上来说，它的确反映出了现实生活，因为哈利长大了，对于失去他有了更深的理解，年轻人可能会被麻醉，但这并不代表他不会感受到痛苦，但因为他们年轻而有更多获得安慰的机会。哈利现在非常孤单。人们说整部书越来越黑暗，我感到略微有点吃惊。在魔法石就开始了双重谋杀，我觉得这是个很可怕的比喻，我依然认为就像我写的那样，奇洛的脑袋后面是一种东西（而不是一个人），我认为第一部没有避开黑暗势力。
=======================================================================================
Publishing News的Sorley Richardson：你为什么要杀死小天狼星？他的出现是哈利最快乐的事。
JK罗琳：大家都坚持说我是杀人凶手，不是吗？这个问题人们问过好多次了。我也说过小天狼星是我最喜欢的角色，至于为什么要他死，你可以想象一下我是什么感觉。事实上，在我杀死小天狼星后，我发现有个小天狼星迷的网站，而我却在过去的48小时杀死了他，那感觉并不好受。
我想在你们读到第七部书就会明白一切了。不能单凭这些就武断的回答，这个以前我说过。我觉得读者应该对我的回答满意，如果我们的英雄必须要走，那就支持他，让他潇洒的走吧。对不起。
==========================================================================================
ITV的Owen Jones：乌姆里奇发生了什么事什么？
JK罗琳：我们都想知道她遇到什么可怕的事，但事实是她还活着，还在魔法部工作。
为什么她会因试图使用不可饶恕咒的罪名而被逮捕？
JK罗琳：她跟魔法部的关系很好。她总是执着于各种法律法规，这种人在现实生活中确实也存在。她总是相信权威不会出错，所以从不质疑，我必须说无论发生了什么，无论谁带走她做过些什么，她都会留在魔法部，她喜欢权力。她将会跟那些能够给她权力的人站在一起。
============================================================================================
Woolworths的Stephanie Chapman—如果你被选入一个学院，会是哪个，为什么？
JK罗琳：我想进格兰芬多，而我想进格兰芬多的理由是因为我在各种方面都有勇气。比起其他的美德我更看中这一点，我的意思是不仅是身体上的勇气和瞬间的勇气，还有精神上的勇气。
我把这点体现在第一部书中的纳威身上，因为纳威没有显示出哈利在打魁地奇时显出的强壮男子所有的勇气。但是在最后，在魔法石的最后纳威冒着被他们讨厌的危险反对他的朋友们，证明了伟大的勇气，所以我想进格兰芬多。但那并不是说我会在那。我想赫奇帕奇对我来说比较适合。
我想知道，当你杀了小天狼星时我听说你哭了，在这本书的最后你会哭吗？
JK罗琳：对小天狼星我是流了些泪，但在这本书的最后我会更不安。
====================================================================================
南非Sunday Times的Danielle Hayman—当你开始写书的时候，你一直计划哈利波特成为傲罗，还是其他的？
JK罗琳：我一直就计划让他成为傲罗，但是在早些的书中他还没有这个志向，因为他从来都没接触过他们，等他发现他们是什么而且开始构想这个志向时，这就变得更有趣了。
在早些的书中我还没有傲罗这个名字。我一直想做，在第7本书中，进入魔法部然后战斗，那时他感觉到他不能实现这个志向，但是……
============================================================================================
加拿大Raincoast.com的Eun Ji An：我在想为什么哈利有眼镜？
JK罗琳：因为我童年时一直戴眼镜，而且我很厌恶某些书中的说法：戴眼镜的人总是很有头脑。这确实让我很烦恼。我想看到一个戴眼镜的英雄。
眼镜同时也起到象征作用。哈利是书的中心，眼镜一直象征着哈利对世界的看法。这也是，你知道，他戴眼镜的另一个原因.
==========================================================================================
问：在听到的关于哈里•波特说法中，你最得意的是什么？
答：我最喜欢一个１２岁苏格兰小姑娘的话，她到爱丁堡图书节听过我的朗读。门票已经脱销，等待签名的队伍排得很长。等到那个女孩终于站到我面前时，她说，“我不希望人这么多，因为它是我的书！”这正是我对自己最心爱图书的感受——旁人无权知道，更别说也喜欢！
========================================================================================
问：你小时读什么书和作家？谁对你影响最大？
答：我最崇拜Ｅ•奈斯比特，保罗•加里科和Ｃ•Ｓ•刘易斯。我小时最爱读伊丽莎白•古奇的《小白马》。
===========================================================================================
大结局后的发展，罗琳也说出她的想象：伏地魔被消灭后，世界变得更光明快乐，一直想当正气师的波特如愿以偿，出任傲罗部部长，这个部门隶属于他与朋友兼同盟金斯莱.沙克尔领导的新的巫师政府。
波特的妻子金妮.威斯利秉持对运动的热爱，加入女子魁地奇球队，后来离队，专心照顾她和波特的3个子女詹姆士、欧巴斯与莉莉，并成为魔法界报纸《预言家日报》报道魁地奇球队赛事的资深记者。
哈利的挚友罗恩与哥哥乔治合伙，共同经营生意兴隆的卫氏巫师法宝商店。赫敏嫁给罗恩后，进入魔法部奇兽管控部工作，继续为家庭小精灵等受奴役的魔法界生物争取权益，后来转入魔法执法部。赫敏和罗恩育有一对子女雨果和罗丝。
波特的好友露娜.罗古德成为著名的魔法界自然学家，后来嫁给《怪兽与它们的产地》作者卡曼德的孙子。
==========================================================================================
如果要在魔法界历来最杰出巫师邓布利多的葬礼上演奏完全不懂魔法的麻瓜界音乐，罗琳会选哪首曲子？答案是法兰克.辛纳屈的经典名曲《MyWay》
============================================================================================
罗琳女士，非常感谢你为我们带来了这么棒的书。我有一个问题，我很想知道罗恩、赫敏和金妮名字的中间字？
罗琳：我很高兴回答你的问题：金妮名字的中间字是莫莉(molly)，赫敏的是简(jane)，而罗恩这个可怜的孩子的中间字是比琉斯(bilius)。
=========================================================================================
请问卢平教授全名中间的缩写字母j是什么意思？
罗琳：约翰(john)。听起来没有什么新意！
===========================================================================================
虫尾巴是不是用伏地魔的魔杖杀死塞德里克的？这就是塞德里克从伏地魔的魔杖里飘出来的原因，虽然杀死他的人是虫尾巴。
罗琳：非常正确！
==========================================================================================
伏地魔是天生就这么坏吗？
罗琳：我不相信“性本恶”之说。在下一本书里你会对伏地魔成长的环境有更多的了解。
========================================================================================
海格的魔力有多强？
罗琳：不是非常强！他可以施展出很标准的初级水平的魔法，往往也会国为施展出了令人深刻印象的魔法而让所有人惊讶（其中还包括他自己）。还有，他的魔杖因为被弄断了所以不得不伪装成一把伞，这对他施展魔法也产生了一定的妨碍。
=========================================================================================
分院帽说的一切都可以相信吗？
罗琳：分院帽的确是非常诚信的。
=========================================================================================
特里劳妮的中间名是什么（p打头的那个）？
罗琳：帕特丽夏
===========================================================================================
我注意到布莱克家谱上的所有人都是以星星命名的，这是故意的吗？有没有什么特殊的含义？
罗琳：这只是一种家族传统，虽然纳西莎打破了这种传统。我一直把她想成“纳西莎”（这个名字来自古希腊神话中那个自恋的美少年，后变成水仙），所以当我想其起家族其他人的名字时，我决定不改动她的名字来迁就其他人。一直有很多人在说她在某些方面和莉莉、佩妮有关系，因为她们的名字都属于花系列（lily是百合、petunia是喇叭花），但是我想谣言可以终止了：她和她们没关系。
=========================================================================================
如果一个麻瓜来到霍格沃茨，他会看到什么？
罗琳：他们只能看到一个破旧的城堡，上面写着大字“危险建筑，请远离”
=========================================================================================
你怎么想出“麻瓜”这个词的？
罗琳：我当时在找一个可以同时传达出“愚蠢”和“可爱”两个意思的词。“mug”这个词出现在了我的脑海，它的意思是容易上当的人，然后我把这个词的意思软化了。我觉得“麻瓜”听起来更亲切。我当时并不知道“麻瓜”这个词还被当作跟毒品有关的俚语……就这样
=========================================================================================
罗琳对邓布利多校长的评价：
我把他看作一个非常聪明、才华横溢、且早熟的人，因为他的选择，他的情感生活明显被理性生活所抑制，然后他初次涉足情感的世界（指格林沃德）是灾难性的，这将永远使他的那部分生活变得麻木，变得愚笨。而他将走上自己选的路。我就是这样看待邓布利多的过去的，而且我也是一直这样看的。他用幽默在别人和自己间建起一道鸿沟，这是一种分隔，一种轻薄的方式。但是，他同样被自己的大脑所孤立。他被自己知道的，猜测的，那些正确的猜测所孤立。他必须守口如瓶，因为他不想伏地魔知道他所察觉的事情。成为邓布利多这样的人很可悲，真的，到最后，他必须安排好一切，却只能祈求万事顺利。
因为他布下了一个庞大的棋局，老魔杖的传承都在他不动声色的掌控中顺利完成
I see him as fundamentally a very intellectual, brilliant and precocious person whose emotional life was absolutely subjugated to the life of the mind - by his choice - and then his first foray into the world of emotion is catastrophic and I think that would forevermore stun that part of his life and leave it stultified and he would be, what he becomes. That's what I saw as Dumbledore's past. That's always what I saw was in his past. And he keeps a distance between himself and others through humour, a certain detachment and a frivolity of manner.
But he's also isolated by his brain. He's isolated by the fact he knows so much, guesses so much, guesses correctly. He has to play his cards close to his chest because he doesn't want Voldemort to know what he suspects. Terrible to be Dumbledore, really, by the end he must have thought it would be quite nice to check out and just hope that everything works out well. [Laughter.]
Because he's set up this massive chess game ，Ultimately it just came down to that, a little scuffle and fistfight in the corner and pulling a wand away
============================================================================================
罗琳对邓格关系评价：
我认为他（指格林德沃）善于利用，而且有点自恋。我想像他这样的人懂得利用，懂得利用追随者。尽管他和邓布利多都对彼此赞赏，我不认为他会以这种方式回报，因为他会说：“天哪，我从没想过有人会和我一样如此聪明，如此有才华，如此强大。我们合作，必定势不可挡！”所以我想他会从邓布利多身上得到些什么好让他和自己是一方。
记者说：格林沃德给他感觉像路西法
罗琳继续说所以你可以称之为兄契约，但是我想这样会让邓布利多显得更可悲，而且这会使邓布利多少受一些责备。
re: Grindelwald] I think he was a user and a narcissist and I think someone like that would use it, would use the infatuation. I don't think that he would reciprocate in that way, although he would be as dazzled by Dumbledore as Dumbledore was by him, because he would see in Dumbledore, 'My God, I never knew there was someone as brilliant as me, as talented as me, as powerful as me. Together, we are unstoppable!' So I think he would take anything from Dumbledore to have him on his side.
I wanted to ask you about that, because Grindelwald resembles - the golden curls, the first person I thought of was Lucifer.
JKR: Mm-hm. So you can call it a fraternal bond, but I think it makes it more tragic for Dumbledore. I also think it makes Dumbledore a little less culpable.

问：赫敏是否还致力于家养小精灵保护协会的工作？
答：赫敏离开学校后的职业生涯就起步于魔法部的神奇动物管理控制司。她为改善家养小精灵和其他
弱势动物的待遇发挥了重要的作用。之后，她转到了魔法法律执行司，她的积极的声音为废除那些有偏见的，支持纯血统论的法律起到了推动作用。
===========================================================================================
问：卢平和唐克斯的儿子Teddy后来和外婆生活在一起吗？
答：是，Teddy后来由唐克斯的母亲Andromeda抚养长大，但和纳威不同，Teddy有他的教父哈利和卢平的凤凰社朋友们的关照和爱护。他们经常来看他。
=======================================================================================
问：哈利，罗恩和其他人的命运如何？
答：刚才我说过赫敏了，其他人的事业是这样的。金斯利成为了新一任的魔法部长，他诚邀哈利担任傲罗司的司长。虽然伏地魔已死，但并不意味着没有黑巫师,哈利接受了邀请。罗恩则加入了乔治的商店，商店的生意蒸蒸日上。金妮进一步发展了自己的运动生涯，成为了Holyhead Harpies球队的著名球手，之后，她退役成家，并担任了《预言家日报》的魁地奇专题记者。
===========================================================================================
问：斯内普的画像没有出现了校长室里是无意还是故意的疏忽？
答：是故意这样处理的，因为斯内普临死前已经放弃了校长职务，所以他的画像没有出现在校长室。不过，我相信哈利会通过自己的影响力，最终在不久后实现让斯内普的画像出现在校长殿堂中。
=========================================================================================
问：斯内普是唯一一个能变成守护兽的食死徒吗？
答：是，因为守护兽和食死徒的行为和盟友摄鬼怪是对立的，所以食死徒从不需要守护兽。
=========================================================================================
问：珀西后来如何了？
答：珀西改邪归正后，他成为了金斯利（魔法部长）手下的一名高级官员。
==========================================================================================
问：乔治在失去双胞胎兄弟后将如何度过？
答：Fred的死会让乔治非常伤心。不过，他给自己的第一个儿子起名叫Fred，之后在罗恩的帮助下，他的事业越来越成功。
============================================================================================
问：哈利的活点地图会传给谁？
答：我感觉他不会传给任何人，但他的儿子JAMES可能会某一天偷偷从父亲的房间中把它翻出来。
===========================================================================================
问：当哈利不再是一个魂器时，他还会说蛇佬腔吗？
答：不会了，他丧失了这项能力。但他会乐于没有这项能力。
======================================================================================
问：克鲁姆最后找到真爱了吗？
答：当然，不过他要回到保加利亚才能找到了。
========================================================================================
问：在国王十字一章中，哈利是进入了一个虚幻世界还是一个介于现实和虚幻之间的世界？
答：每个人都可以发挥自己的想象，但我想哈利是进入了一个生和死之间的状态。
=========================================================================================
问：书中说Deathly Harrows是来自Peverell家族，不知哈利和伏地魔的祖先是否都是有亲属关系的？
答：是，追溯历史，哈利和伏地魔都是Peverell家族的后代。当然，如果你追根溯源，许多巫师家庭在历史上都有亲戚关系。在哈七中也有明确表述，Peverell的血脉延伸到了众多的巫师家庭。
=======================================================================================
问：到底是谁杀死了唐克斯和卢平？
答：对不起，我没有写。我在首发式当天还遇到了几个模仿他们俩个的哈迷，我觉得签字时有些内疚。卢平是多洛霍夫杀死的，杀唐克斯的凶手是贝拉。
==========================================================================================
问：如果是魔杖选择巫师，为何还有儿子继承父亲的魔杖，如纳威？
答：奥利凡德说过，巫师其实任何魔杖皆可用，如果是由魔杖选择巫师，威力会更强。如果有家庭的关联，传给孩子的魔杖会比随意选择的魔杖更好用些！
===========================================================================================
问：乌姆里奇为何可以抵抗住魂器项链的邪恶力量同时还能变出守护兽？
答：因为她本人很人渣。她对可怕的魂器项链很珍爱，所以可以抵抗它的伤害。
===========================================================================================
问：纳威如何最后拿到格兰芬多的剑的？是与分院帽有关吧？
答：是的，确实有关联。纳威是一个真正的格兰芬多勇士，他在寻求帮助的时候呼唤出了格兰芬多剑，就象在魔法石一书中，哈利从分院帽中抽出了格兰芬多剑一样。分院帽原本就属于格兰芬多，大家都知道的。
精灵Griphook是错误的。格兰芬多并没有偷这把剑，只有支持精灵的死忠分子才会认为精灵制造的东西只能属于制作者。
===========================================================================================
问：邓不利多在厄里斯魔镜里会看到什么？
答：他会看到自己全家重新幸福地生活在一起。Ariana（妹妹）, Percival（父亲）和Kendra（母亲）都回到他身边，弟弟Aberforth也可以宽恕他。
===========================================================================================
问：伏地魔从来没有告诉过别人魂器的事情，RAB如何知道他的秘密的？
答：魂器的魔力并不是伏地魔的创造，其他巫师也实现过，只是没人能分到六个。其实伏地魔也无意中流露过线索，但正是因为他的孤傲自大，他不相信别人能够参透他。他在坟地一章中，面对哈利时说过，因为伏地魔如此相信他自己不会死，他在这样做时RAB做出了正确的猜测。
==========================================================================================
问：什么是死亡的主宰者？
答：如邓不利多所说，真正的死亡的主宰者是接受自己必死的现实，并相信现实世界上有许多更糟的事。生命的意义不在追求长生，而在接受死亡。
=========================================================================================
问：小天狼星的双面镜怎么到了邓不利多弟弟手中？
答：邓不利多弟弟遇到过蒙顿格斯，后者从格列莫广场盗出了小天狼星的镜子，正好让邓不利多弟弟买下。
============================================================================================
问：如果魔法石没有找回来，会不会被别人捡到？
答：我认为不会。石头是在混乱中被打到地上的，之后迅速被埋起来了。
============================================================================================
问：为何伏地魔在哈七中不再操纵哈利的思维了？
答：他失去了控制力，他不能阻止哈利进入他的思维，但他们之间的关系伏地魔并没有查觉，他也不知哈利是一个魂器。
========================================================================================
问：为何伏地魔不知道自家的戒指是个HALLOW？
答：戴上戒指本身并不能让魔法石启动。复活石独立于戒指之外，如果要使用，必须在手上转三次。
========================================================================================
问：如果格列莫广场对斯内普有机关，他是怎么进去拿到下半部分的信的？
答：他在邓不利多死后马上去的，当时穆迪还没有设机关。
===========================================================================================
问：七大魂器都是什么？
答：日记，杯子，项坠，纳吉尼，戒指，花冠，哈利
===========================================================================================
问：卢修斯马尔福和其他逃跑的食死徒是否被关进了阿兹卡班？
答：没有，马尔福一家躲开了这一劫，因为他们在战斗的最后时刻站在了哈利一边，虽然并不是出于真心。
============================================================================================
问：娜西莎马尔福是食死徒吗？
答：不是，因为她身上没有黑魔标志，她也一直不是受雇于伏地魔的死党，她的想法一直和她的丈夫卢修斯一致，直到伏地魔动了杀害她的儿子的念头时，她才觉醒。
=========================================================================================
问：乌姆里奇的命运如何？
答：她被逮捕，接受审问最后被关进监狱，罪名是虐待麻瓜血统的巫师。
==========================================================================================
问：伏地魔死后，他的追随者身上的黑魔标志是否还会保留？
答：黑魔标志将会谈化成一个伤疤，与哈利头上的没有太多不同，而且伤疤也不会再灼烧或疼痛。
问：贝拉是否爱过她的丈夫，还是她更爱伏地魔？
答：她嫁给了一位纯血统的人，这是她的期待，但她真心爱的其实是伏地魔。
============================================================================================
问：伏地魔是否爱过任何女孩？
答：没有，他只爱权利和他自己。他只珍惜那些可以帮助他向目标迈进的人
问：你希望自己的魔杖是用什么做的？
答：我喜欢哈利的魔杖：冬青木的，凤凰羽毛做杖芯。
==========================================================================================
问：为什么邓布利多会把他的熄灯器留给罗恩？
答：因为他知道罗恩比哈利、赫敏更需要引导，他也知道罗恩的重要性。虽然不够聪明，但罗恩把哈利跟赫敏团结在一起，他的幽默和善良都很重要。
===========================================================================================
问：玛丽埃特脸上那些因为泄密而长出的疮会消退吗？
答：最后会吧，但是肯定会留下些痕迹。我讨厌叛徒！
=========================================================================================
问：家养小精灵闪闪会一直喝那么多黄油啤酒吗？
答：她戒酒啦。
==========================================================================================
问：斯内普为什么一直看起来脏兮兮的？
答：他眼神不太好,看不清楚吧。
========================================================================================
Can prefects take points or not A prefect took points from Gryffindor in the Chamber of Secrets, and then there was a referenc丨e to prefects not being allowed to dock points. What are the rules
Ron got it wrong in 'Phoenix', from which we deduc丨e that he hasn't been a very authoritarian prefect thus far; he clearly hasn't been taking points from anybody.
级长有权扣分吗？《密室》里有个级长给格兰芬多扣分，后来又提到了级长不能扣分。规定到底是怎样的？
《凤凰社》里罗恩搞错了，由此我们可以推断他还不是一个重权力的级长；很明显他还没有扣掉任何人分数。
==========================================================================================
In 'Prisoner of Azkaban', why couldn't the Ministry of Magic have sent Sirius an owl, and then followed it, to find him
Just as wizards can make buildings unplottable, they can（bd和谐） also make themselves untraceable. Voldemort would have been found long ago if it had been as simple as sending him an owl!
《囚徒》里，为什么魔法部不派一只猫头鹰给天狼星，跟踪它，从而找到天狼星？
就好比巫师们能够使建筑无法标绘，他们也能使自己无法被跟踪。要是事情像派猫头鹰这么简单的话，伏地魔早就能被发现了！
==========================================================================================
At the end of 'Goblet of Fire', in which order should Harry's parents have come out of the wand
Lily first, then James. That’s how it appears in my original manuscript but we were under enormous pressure to edit it very fast and my American editor thought that was the wrong way around, and he is so good at catching small errors I changed it without thinking, then realised it had been right in the first place. We were all very sleep-deprived at the time.
《火焰杯》结尾，哈利的父母是以什么顺序从魔杖尖上冒出来的？
先是莉莉，再是詹姆。我最初的手稿中就是这样的。但当我们要尽快地校订，压力巨大，我的美国编辑认为那不对，而他对于捉小毛病非常在行。我不假思索把它改掉了，后来才意识到原本是对的。我们那时都极度缺乏睡眠。
=========================================================================================
How did Harry get the Marauder's Map back at the end of 'Goblet of Fire'
He simply took it back from the fake Moody’s office, but I never show him doing so. Maybe I’ll insert a line in the next edition. I’m afraid I took it for granted that you’d all assume that next time he passed the untenanted office he’d go and get it!
《火焰杯》结尾哈利是怎么拿回活点地图的？
他不过从假穆迪的办公室拿回去了，但我没有写明他这么做了。也许我要在新版本中插一句。恐怕我想当然地以为你们会假设，下一回哈利路过无人的办公室时他会进去拿走地图。
==========================================================================================
Why could Harry see the Thestrals 'Order of the Phoenix' Shouldn't he have been able to see them much earlier, because he saw his parents/Quirrell/Cedric die
I’ve been asked this a lot. Harry didn’t see his parents die. He was in his cot at the time (he was just over a year old) and, as I say in ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, all he saw was a flash of green light. He didn’t see Quirrell’s death, either. Harry had passed out before Quirrell died and was only told about it by Dumbledore in the last chapter.
He did, however, witness the murder of Cedric, and it is this that makes him able to see the Thestrals at last. Why couldn’t he see the Thestrals on his trip back to the train station Well, I didn’t want to start a new mystery, which would not be resolved for a long time, at the very end of the fourth book. I decided, therefore, that until Harry is over the first shock, and really feels what death means (ie, when he fully appreciates that Cedric is gone forever and that he can never come back, which takes time, whatever age you are) he would not be able to see the Thestrals. After two months away from school during which he has dwelled endlessly on his memories of the murder and had nightmares about it, the Thestrals have taken shape and form and he can see them quite clearly.
为什么《凤凰社》里哈利才能看见夜骐？难道他不应该更早地看见它们，因为他曾经目睹他的父母/奇洛/塞德里克死去？
这个我被问及很多遍了。哈利没看到他的父母死去。那时他在他的小床上（他刚一岁多），就像我在《魔法石》里写的，他看见的只有一束绿光。他同样没有目睹奇洛的死亡，哈利在奇洛死前就晕过去了，只不过最后一章里邓布利多告诉了他这一点。
然而他确实目睹了塞德里克被杀，也就是为什么哈利最终能够看见夜骐。那为什么他回到火车站的途中没能看见它们呢？在第四部的结尾我并不想设置一个新的谜团，那可能长期无法解开。因此我决定直到哈利从最初的震惊中恢复过来，他真正体会到死亡意味着什么（也就是说，当他深切意识到塞德里克永远不在了，也永远不可能回来。不管你有多大，这需要时间），才让哈利能够看到夜骐。哈利远离学校两个月，在此期间他无尽地思索塞德的死亡、做恶梦，夜骐的形象也渐渐明朗，哈利于是可以清晰地看见它们。
问:在《凤凰社》里,哈利看到了夜骐,你能吗
罗琳:当然,我可以.这是很好的问题.这提起了关于夜骐的话题.每个人都对我说哈利在他看到夜骐之前就见过死亡了,这不是书里的错误.我可能第一次说到关于书的错误,但这点不能算是错误,我仔细考虑过.哈利没有看到他父母的死亡.那时他只有一岁大而且在帆布床里.当然你们没有看到这些,我把这部分删去了.他那时太小了不能理解这些.只有在你能够理解死亡的含义并且亲眼看到死亡以后,才能见到夜骐.有人说哈利看到了屈拉的死,但在《魔法石》中屈拉死是哈利已经失去意识了.然后是塞德里克,是的,哈利看到了塞德里克的死.而在这之前,我不认为哈利能看到夜骐.所以哈利在《凤凰社》里看到了夜骐.
【林之：这个问题罗琳在两处回答了，我认为重点是“只有在你能够理解死亡的含义并且亲眼看到死亡以后,才能见到夜骐”】
=========================================================================================
Why did Harry have to forget the mirror he had been given by Sirius in 'Order of the Phoenix'
I can’t give a full answer to this, because it is relevant to books six and seven. However, the short answer is that Harry was determined never to use the mirror, as is clearly stated in chapter 24: ‘he knew he would never use whatever it was’. For once in Harry’s life, he does not succumb to curiosity, he hides the mirror and the temptation away from himself, and then, when it might have been useful, he has forgotten it.
The mirror might not have helped as much as you think, but on the other hand, will help more than you think. You’ll have to read the final books to understand that!
《凤凰社》里为什么哈利非得忘记天狼星给过他双面镜？
我无法给出完整的答丨案，因为这牵涉到第六部和第七部。然而简单的回答是，哈利下定了决心不去使用那面镜子，正如在第二十四章里写的：“但他知道他是不会用的。”这一次他终于没有向好奇心屈服，他藏起了镜子和诱惑，然后当它可能有用处的时候，他把它给忘了。
双面镜也许不会像你想象的那么有用，但从另一方面来看，它会比你想象的更有用。你们必须读到最后一本书才会明白！
============================================================================================
What did Dumbledore's Howler to Aunt Petunia mean ('Remember my last')
Well, it is a relief to move on after the Mark Evans fiasco. This time, two out of the three poll questions had interesting answers (or so I think) and thank goodness you chose one of them.
So: Dumbledore is referring to his last letter, which means, of course, the letter he left upon the Dursleys' doorstep when Harry was one year old. But why then (you may well ask) did he not just say 'remember my letter' Why did he say my last letter Why, obviously because there were letters before that…
Now let the speculation begin, and mind you type clearly, I'll be watching…
P.S. It has been suggested that I am wrong in saying that Dumbledore's last letter was the one he left on the doorstep with baby Harry, and that he has sent a letter since then concerning Harry's illegal flight to school. However, both Dumbledore and I differentiate between letters sent to the Dursleys as a couple, and messages directed to Petunia ALONE. And that's my final word on the subject - though I doubt it will be yours :)
邓布利多给佩妮的吼叫信意味着什么？（“记住我最后的”？）
嗯，在马克伊万斯的惨痛失败后继续答题令我宽慰。这回三个投票问题中的两个有着有意思的回答（或者我自认为如此），谢天谢地你们选择了其中的一个。
那么：邓布利多指的是他的最后一封信，当然这也就是指哈利一岁时，那封留在德思礼家门口的信。但是（你们也许会问）邓布利多为什么说“记住我的信”？为什么他要说记住我最后的？为什么呢，显然因为之前还有通信...
现在让我们开始推测，提醒你们注意打字清晰，我会认真关注的...
P.S.有人提出，我说“邓布利多给佩妮的最后一封信是他留在德思礼家门口的那封”是错误的，邓布利多在此之后又去了一封关于哈利非法抵校的信[注：《密室》开头的情节]。然而，邓布利多和我都能分清送给德思礼夫妇以及佩妮本人的信件间的区别。这便是我对这一问题的最终解释——尽管我怀疑这不会是你们的：）
=======================================================================================
Do you like Sirius Black
I've had several letters asking this, which rather surprised me. The answer is,yes, I do like him, although I do not think he is wholly wonderful (ooooh, I hear them sharpening the knives over at Immeritus [see "Fansite" section]).
Sirius is very good at spouting bits of excellent personal philosophy, but he does not always live up to them. For instance, he says in "Goblet of Fire" that if you want to know what a man is really like, 'look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.' But Sirius loathes Kreacher, the house-elf he has inherited, and treats him with nothing but contempt. Similarly, Sirius claims that nobody is wholly good or wholly evil, and yet the way he acts towards Snape suggests that he cannot conceive of any latent good qualities there. Of course, these double standards exist in most of us; we might know how we ought to behave, but actually doing it is a different matter!
Sirius is brave, loyal, reckless, embittered and slightly unbalanced by his long stay in Azkaban. He has never really had the chance to grow up; he was around twenty-two when he was sent off to Azkaban, and has had very little normal ad（bd和谐）ult life. Lupin, who is the same age, seems much older and more mature. Sirius's great redeeming quality is how much affection he is capable of feeling. He loved James like a brother and he went on to transfer that attachment to Harry.
你喜欢小天狼星布莱克吗？
有不少信件问了这个，这使我非常吃惊。答案是肯定的，我喜欢他，尽管我不觉得他有多么完美（哦，我听见Immeritus[请见“哈迷网站”部分]的网友正磨刀霍霍）
小天狼星十分擅长说些绝妙的人生哲理，但他自己却做不到。例如他在《火焰杯》里说：“如果你想了解一个人的为人，就要留意他是如何对待他的下级的，而不能光看他如何对待与他地位相等的人。”[注：《火焰杯》27章]但小天狼星恨极了克利彻，那个他继承下来的家养小精灵，他对待他除了轻视还是轻视。同样地，小天狼星声称没人是绝对正义或绝对邪恶的[注：不知道这里所指原句在哪里，我想应该是指《凤凰社》14章，“世界上并不只有好人和食死徒”这句]。但是他从他对待斯内普的态度来看，他无法想象斯内普会有潜在的正义面。当然，这些双重标准我们都会有；我们知道应该怎样行动，然而亲身实践又是另一回事了！
小天狼星勇敢，忠诚，鲁莽，充满怨恨，因为在阿兹卡班呆得太久，他还有些许错乱。他从没真正有机会成长；他被送进阿兹卡班的时候才二十二岁左右，几乎没有正常的成人生活。和他同龄的卢平看上去更显老也更成熟。小天狼星的优秀品质是他有满腔的慈爱。他像兄弟一般关爱詹姆，并把这种感情转移到了哈利身上。

If a teacher is head of a house, can we assume that they were sorted into those houses when they were students at Hogwarts Is that also true for the house ghosts So was Snape a Slytherin
A Mugglenet/Harry Potter Lexicon Open Letter Question (I can't promise I'll answer them all, but I'll try and work through them). Yes, if the teacher is Head of House you can indeed assume that they were pupils within that house. So Snape was very definitely a Slytherin and yes, the same is true of the house ghosts.
如果一名老师是某学院院长，我们能否假定他们当年在霍格沃茨时也被分进了那个学院？对于学院常驻幽灵也适用么？斯内普是不是个斯莱特林？
Mugglenet/Harry Potter Lexicon公开信中的问题（我不能保证全部回答，但我会试着去答）。是的，如果老师是院长，你就能认定他们曾是那个学院的学生。斯内普绝对是个斯莱特林，这对于幽灵也同样适用。
========================================================================================
You said recently that Charlie was two years older than Percy. If that's so, he would have been the Seeker in Harry's first year. Can you clarify his and Bill's ages for us
I knew I'd messed up that question the moment I had answered it, but web chats move fast and I wanted to keep going to get through as many questions as I could. Bill is two years older than Charlie, who is three years older than Percy, who is two years older than Fred and George, who are two years older than Ron, who is a year older than Ginny. Sorry. Maths is not my strong suit (though it's better than my geography, as those who have found the most recent Easter Eggs might already know).
最近你说查理比珀西大两岁。如果是那样的话，哈利一年级的时候他就应该是找球手。你能否为我们澄清一下查理和比尔的年龄问题？
我回答这个问题的时候就知道我把它搞砸了，但网聊的速度很快，我当时想继续回答尽量多的题。比尔比查理大两岁，查理比珀西大三岁，珀西比弗雷德和乔治大两岁，弗雷德和乔治鼻罗恩大两岁，罗恩比金妮大一岁。抱歉。数学不是我的强项（尽管要比地理强些，那些已经找到最新的复活节彩蛋的朋友们也许已经发现了）
============================================================================================
Why didn't Fred and George notice Peter Pettigrew on the Marauder's Map before ("Prisoner of Azkaban")
It would not have mattered if they had. Unless somebody was very familiar with the story of Sirius Black (and after all, Sirius was not Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's best friend – indeed, they never knew him until after he escaped from Azkaban), Fred and George would be unlikely to know or remember that Peter Pettigrew was the person Sirius had (supposedly) murdered. Even if Fred and George HAD heard the story at some point, why would they assume that the 'Peter Pettigrew' they occasionally saw moving around the map was, in fact, the man murdered years before
Fred and George used the map for their own mischief-making, so they concentrated, naturally enough, on those portions of the map where they were planning their next misdeeds. And finally,you must not forget that hundreds of little dots are moving around this map at any given time… Fred and George did not know everyone in school by name, so a single unfamiliar name was unlikely to stand out.
为什么弗雷德和乔治以前没有在活点地图上注意到小矮星彼得（《阿兹卡班的囚徒》）？
他们就算注意到了也没关系。除非某人对小天狼星的故事非常熟悉（毕竟小天狼星和韦斯莱夫妇不是最好的朋友，他们直到小天狼星从阿兹卡班逃出来后才了解他），弗雷德和乔治不太可能知道或记住小矮星彼得是小天狼星被控谋杀的人。哪怕弗雷德和乔治真的听说过那事，他们又怎么会假定他们无意间看到地图上出现的“小矮星彼得”，事实上就是多年前被谋杀的那人？
弗雷德和乔治使用地图来实施恶作剧，所以他们自然而然地关注地图上他们搞下一场恶作剧的地方。最后，千万别忘了每时每刻地图上都有百来个小点在移动，弗雷德和乔治不清楚学校里所有人的名字，所以单单一个陌生的名字不会特别突出。
==========================================================================================
Peeves chews gum, how can he when he is a ghost (Nearly Headless Nick can't eat).
Peeves isn't a ghost; he was never a living person. He is an indestructible spirit of chaos, and solid enough to unscrew chandeliers, throw walking sticks and,yes, chew gum.
皮皮鬼嚼口香糖，他是个幽灵怎么能做到这一点？（差点没头的尼克就不能吃东西）。
皮皮鬼不是一个幽灵；他从未以活人的形式存在。他是一个由混乱形成的不可毁灭的灵体。他坚实到可以拧松吊灯，扔拐杖，是的还有嚼口香糖。
===========================================================================================
Why did you make the Leprechaun gold disappear in "Goblet of Fire" and Harry not notice
I smiled rather ruefully to myself when I did this. Harry doesn't worry about money, because he's got enough of it. Ron, on the other hand, is poor, and he cannot imagine how it must be not to notice a pocketful of gold disappearing. I think I was just remembering how it felt to be like Ron; certainly, for that moment, I felt more sympathy for Ron than Harry– my past self more than my present, if you like. If Harry had noticed the leprechaun gold disappear at the time of the world cup, there would have been less poignancy when we came to the Niffler scene, where I wanted to show, through Ron, how hard it is sometimes not to have any money when other people do.
为什么《火焰杯》里你让小矮妖的金币消失，而哈利没有注意到？
这么写的时候我对自己苦笑。哈利不必为钱担心，因为他有很多。而罗恩呢，他很穷，他无法想象慢慢一口袋金子消失，而你居然会没注意的情况。我想我只是在回想当罗恩的滋味；当然那时比起哈利，我更同情罗恩——比起现在，我更同情过去的自己。如果我让哈利观看世界杯那时注意到金币消失了，那到了关于嗅嗅的段落讽刺意味就不那么强烈了。那个段落里我想通过罗恩来表明，当别人富有的时候你却很穷，那是多么艰难。
===========================================================================================
Do you believe in fate
No, I believe in hard work and luck, and that the first often leads to the second.
你相信命运么？
不，我相信努力工作和运气，而通常前者能够带来后者。

How did Fred and George get their names, is it from the twins in "Gone With the Wind", they were both red headed boys
Until I received this letter, I had no idea that the actors who played Stuart and Brent Tarleton were called Fred Crane and George Reeves. No, this isn't where I got the names (I simply called Fred and George 'Fred and George' because I like those names and they fitted well with the old fashioned names of the other Weasley brothers), but it is a funny coincidence!
Fred and George have red hair because Ron does; in other words, I created Ron as a character first, then invented his brothers and sister.
弗雷德和乔治的名字是从哪来的，是不是《飘》里的双胞胎？他们也是红头发的男孩。
收到这封信之前我不知道扮演Stuart和Brent Tarleton的演员叫做Fred Crane和George Reeves.不，我没有据这个起名。（我把弗雷德和乔治叫做“弗雷德和乔治”只不过因为我喜欢这两个名字，它们也很契合韦斯莱家其他兄弟老式的名字），但这是个有趣的巧合！
弗雷德和乔治有红头发因为罗恩也是这样；换句话说，我首先有了罗恩这一形象，然后再想出他的兄弟们和妹妹。
======================================================================================
You say that people cannot Apparate or Disapparate within Hogwarts and yet Dobby manages it, why is this
House-elves are different from wizards; they have their own brand of magic, and the ability to appear and disappear within the castle is necessary to them if they are to go about their work unseen, as house-elves traditionally do.
你说人们不能在霍格沃茨幻影显形或幻影移形，但多比却能，这是为什么？
家养小精灵不同于巫师；他们有自己的魔法本领，他们在城堡中显形或移形的能力是让他们在工作时不被发现的一种需要，正如他们通常做的一样。
============================================================================================
In "Philosopher's Stone" Aunt Petunia says that Lily came back from Hogwarts with frog spawn in her pockets and turned teacups into rats. If this is true, why wasn't Lily expelled
Aunt Petunia is exaggerating a little; you have to allow for her state of mind when she started shrieking these things. However, just like her son, Lily was not averse to testing the limits of the Statute of Secrecy, so you can safely assume she will have had a few warning letters – nothing too serious, though.
《魔法石》里佩妮姨妈说莉莉从霍格沃茨回来，口袋里装着蟾蜍，把茶杯变成老鼠。如果这是真的，为什么莉莉没被开除？
佩妮姨妈言过其实了；你们要允许她在尖叫的时候有些夸张。然而，就像她的儿子一样，莉莉不反对挑战一下《国际保密法》的底线，所以你们可以放心地假定她会收到一些警告信——但这没什么大不了的。

Why did Colin Creevey's camera work etc
As a vast number of people have pointed out to me in the last twenty four hours (some of them related to me by ties of blood) Colin DID develop a photograph from his camera in 'Chamber of Secrets'(my previous answer stated that he never did so).
Cameras, like radios (or, as the wizards call them 'wirelesses'– they're always a bit behind the times when it comes to Muggle technology) do exist in the wizarding world (there's a radio in the Weasleys' kitchen and we know there are cameras because of the moving photographs you see everywhere). Wizards do not need electricity to make these things work; they f丨unction by magic, but in the case of such objects the wizards liked the Muggle invention enough to appropriate the idea without adding cumbersome
plugs/batteries.
I have an old notebook in which it says dev sol (potion) magic [indecipherable word] photos move. Adept as I am at interpreting my old scribbles, I can tell you that the original idea was that wizards would use a magical developing potion to make their photographs move.
SO... as Colin's batteries can't work in Hogwarts, clearly his camera is running off the magical atmosphere and he is then developing his photographs in the magical potion that causes the figures therein to move. All of which goes to show that Colin has a lot more initiative than I ever realised.
The poll question answer has also been queried, but I didn't get that one wrong – for details, see P.S.
I have learned something from this experience, which is that when you read through twenty chapters at a sitting, then decide to do some FAQs for the website in the early hours of the morning,you mess up. I'll make sure I'm a bit more alert for the next batch.
为什么科林克里维的照相机能正常工作等问题
过去二十四小时内无数人向我指出（有些是我的血亲），《密室》中科林的的确确用他的照相机拍出了照片（而我之前的回答说他没拍过）。
照相机，就像收音机（或者，巫师们称它们为“无线电”——他们总是比麻瓜科技慢了一拍）确实存在于魔法世界中（韦斯莱家厨房里有台收音机，而且到处都有移动的照片所以也就有照相机）
巫师用不着电来使它们运作，而用魔法，但在以上一些情况下巫师太喜欢麻瓜的发明了，他们盗用了这些发明但是去掉了累赘的插头和电池。
我有本旧笔记，上面说dev sol（一种魔药）[字迹难以辨认]能使照片移动。尽管我善于辩认自己过去的涂鸦，我可以告诉你们我最初的想法是，巫师们能用某种先进的魔药让照片移动。
那么...因为科林的电池在霍格沃茨无法工作，显然他的照相机是靠魔法运作，科林用魔药处理照片，那样照片就会动了。这些都表明科林比我想像的更加积极。
投票选上的问题答案也曾被质疑过，但那个我没有回答错——详见P.S.[注：这里指的是“邓布利多给佩妮的吼叫信意味着什么？”那个问题]
从这件事中我学到了一些东西，那就是当你坐下校对完二十章节，然后在凌晨回答网上的FAQ，你会把事情搞得一团糟。我保证回答下一批问题时我会更小心的。

What is the significance of Neville being the other boy to whom the prophecy might have referred
Finally, I am answering the poll question! I am sorry it has taken so long, but let me start by saying how glad I am that this was the question that received the most votes, because this was the one that I most wanted to answer. Some of you might not like what I am going to say– but I'll address that issue at the end of my response!
To recap: Neville was born on the 30th of July, the day before Harry, so he too was born 'as the seventh month dies'. His parents, who were both famous Aurors, had 'thrice defied' Voldemort, just as Lily and James had. Voldemort was therefore presented with the choice of two baby boys to whom the prophecy might apply. However, he did not entirely realise what the implications of attacking them might be, because he had not heard the entire prophecy. As Dumbledore says:
'He [the eavesdropper] only heard the beginning, the part foretelling the birth of a boy in July to parents who had thrice defied Voldemort. Consequently, he could not warn his master that to attack you would be to risk transferring power to you.'
In effect, the prophecy gave Voldemort the choice of two candidates for his possible nemesis. In choosing which boy to murder, he was also (without realising it) choosing which boy to anoint as the Chosen One – to give him tools no other wizard possessed – the scar and the ability it conferred, a magical window into Voldemort's mind.
So what would have happened if Voldemort had decided that the pure-blood, not the half-blood, was the bigger threat What would have happened if he had attacked Neville instead Harry wonders this during the course of 'Half-Blood Prince' and concludes, rightly, that the answer hinges on whether or not one of Neville's parents would have been able, or prepared, to die for their son in the way that Lily died for Harry. If they hadn't, Neville would have been killed outright. Had Frank or Alice thrown themselves in front of Neville, however, the killing curse would have rebounded just as it did in Harry's case, and Neville would have been the one who survived with the lightning scar. What would this have meant Would a Neville bearing the lightning scar have been as successful at evading Voldemort as Harry has been Would Neville have had the qualities that have enabled Harry to remain strong and sane throughout all of his many ordeals Although Dumbledore does not say as much, he does not believe so: he believes Voldemort did indeed choose the boy most likely to be able to topple him, for Harry's survival has not depended wholly or even mainly upon his scar.
So where does this leave Neville, the boy who was so nearly King Well, it does not give him either hidden powers or a mysterious destiny. He remains a 'normal' wizarding boy, albeit one with a past, in its way, as tragic as Harry's. As you saw in 'Order of the Phoenix,' however, Neville is not without his own latent strengths. It remains to be seen how he will feel if he ever finds out how close he came to being the Chosen One.
Some of you, who have been convinced that the prophecy marked Neville, in some mystical fashion, for a fate intertwined with Harry's, may find this answer rather dull. Yet I was making what I felt was a significant point about Harry and Voldemort, and about prophecies themselves, in showing Neville as the also-ran. If neither boy was 'pre-ordained' before Voldemort's attack to become his possible vanquisher, then the prophecy(like the one the witches make to Macbeth, if anyone has read the play of the same name) becomes the catalyst for a situation that would never have occurred if it had not been made. Harry is propelled into a terrifying position he might never have sought, while Neville remains the tantalising 'might-have-been'. Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences.
Of course, none of this should be taken to mean that Neville does not have a significant part to play in the last two novels, or the fight against Voldemort. As for the prophecy itself, it remains ambiguous, not only to readers, but to my characters. Prophecies (think of Nostradamus!) are usually open to many different interpretations. That is both their strength and their weakness.
纳威作为预言本可能所指的男孩，他有什么重要性？
终于，我开始回答投票选中的问题！很抱歉花了那么长时间，但允许我先表达看到这个问题投票率最高时，我有多么地高兴，因为这是我最想回答的问题。有人也许不会喜欢我接下来要说的话——但那个问题我会在结尾处再提。
概括地说：纳威生于七月三十日，先于哈利一天，所以他也是“生于第七个月月末”。他的父母都是傲罗，曾“三次击败黑魔头”，就像哈利的父母一样。因而伏地魔就面临一个选择，两个婴儿都符合预言的内容。然而因为伏地魔没有听全整个预言，他对攻击他们的后果不全了解。就像邓布利多说的：
“他[那个偷听者注：《混血王子》发行后我们知道了“他”是斯内普]只听到了开头，就是预言男孩的生日在七月份，父母曾三次击败了伏地魔。所以他不可能提醒伏地魔攻击你就会冒着把能量传输给你的危险。”[注：见《凤凰社》第三十七章失落的预言（5-37-557）]
结果，预言给了伏地魔两个候选作为他未来的对手。在选择杀死哪个男孩时，他也（无意识地）在选择将成为“救世之星”的男孩——给予他其他巫师所没有的能力——伤疤，以及它授予的能力，通向伏地魔大脑的一扇窗。
那么，如果伏地魔选择了纯血统而非混血作为自己更大的威胁，那又会怎样？如果他攻击了纳威而不是哈利，又会发生什么？《混血王子》里哈利对此疑惑不解，他正确地作了总结，即答案要取决于纳威的父母是否有能力，或者说有准备为他们的儿子而牺牲，就像莉莉为哈利而死那样。如果他们没有，纳威就会当即丧命。然而假如弗兰克或艾利丝挡在纳威前，阿瓦达索命咒就会反弹，就像哈利经历的那样，纳威就会头顶伤疤，成为大难不死的男孩。戴着伤疤的纳威会像哈利一样成功地躲避伏地魔吗？哈利在经受种种苦难时使他保持坚强、清醒的能力，纳威也会拥有吗？尽管邓布利多没有透露许多，但他并不这么认为：他相信伏地魔确实选择了最有可能击垮他的男孩，因为哈利的幸存不全部也不主要取决于他的伤疤。
那么这又给纳威，这个差点成为王者的男孩带来了什么？这没给他带
