The most inspiring examples of love in the wizarding world
From the bond of the Weasleys, to strong friendships, to sacrifices that were made and to Hagrid's love of magical creatures – there are plenty of inspiring examples of love in the wizarding world. We take a look at a few…
从韦斯莱兄弟的结合，到牢固的友谊，到做出的牺牲，再到海格对魔法生物的热爱——魔法世界里有很多爱的例子。我们来看看一些…
许多美好的浪漫关系
Well, we can’t talk about love without mentioning all the brilliant couples in the wizarding world. There were Molly and Arthur who’d had a strong and loving partnership since their days at Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione whose relationship had been a slow burn from best friends into something more. Tonks and Remus who had to break down barriers, including Remus’ low self-esteem stemming from being a werewolf, to eventually be together. And Bill and Fleur, whose powerful connection eventually managed to change his family’s preconceived notions about her. And these are just a handful of the strong pairings found in the wizarding world – there are so many other excellent illustrations of romantic love. Many of these couples (if not all) also had to overcome forces that were trying to keep them apart – whether those obstacles were external like the rise of Voldemort, or internal such as their own stubbornness. Yet ultimately, they all demonstrated the enduring power of love.
说到爱情，就不能不提到魔法世界里那些杰出的情侣。还有莫丽和亚瑟，他们从霍格沃茨的日子起就一直是牢固而相爱的伙伴关系。罗恩和赫敏，他们的关系从最好的朋友慢慢发展成更深厚的感情。唐克斯和莱姆斯不得不打破障碍，包括莱姆斯因为是狼人而自卑，最终他们在一起了。比尔和芙蓉，其强大的联系最终设法改变他的家人对她的先入为主的观念。这些只是魔法世界中为数不多的一对，还有很多其他浪漫爱情的优秀例证。这些夫妻中的许多人(如果不是全部的话)还必须克服那些试图让他们分开的力量，无论是像伏地魔崛起这样的外部障碍，还是像他们自己的固执这样的内在障碍。然而最终，他们都证明了爱的持久力量。
家庭之间的爱
If there is one example of love that really stands out, it is that of the families of the wizarding world. Whether they’re those related by blood or those that have chosen to be each other’s family. The Weasley clan definitely had a strong bond – even when it was tested by Percy’s estrangement. What made them doubly special, was how they were willing to welcome others into the fold with open arms (with the brief hesitation when it came to Fleur). Harry was welcomed as a bonus Weasley from when he was in first-year and Molly sent him one of her signature hand-knitted jumper for Christmas. And they weren’t the only family who truly demonstrated what love means – the Lovegoods also cared deeply for one another. When Luna was taken by the Death Eaters, Xenophilius would have done anything to get ger back, including going against all his principles and turning Harry over to the Death Eaters. There were also the Longbottoms who stuck together through adversity. There was Sirius who took his role as godfather to Harry incredibly seriously... we could go on and on. Though one thing is for certain, and that is family (in whatever form it took) was a powerful example of love in the wizarding world.
如果有一个爱的例子是真正突出的，那就是魔法世界的家庭。不管是有血缘关系的人，还是选择成为对方家人的人。韦斯莱家族虽然受到了珀西疏远的考验，但他们之间的关系确实很牢固。他们的特殊之处在于，他们愿意张开双臂欢迎其他人的加入(只是在芙蓉的问题上犹豫了一下)。哈利在韦斯莱家受到欢迎，这是他一年级时韦斯莱家送给他的奖金。圣诞节时，莫丽送给他一件她亲手编织的标志性毛衣。他们并不是唯一一个真正证明了爱意味着什么的家庭，洛夫古德一家也深深地关心着彼此。卢娜被食死徒抓走后，谢诺菲留斯为了回去愿意做任何事，包括违背他的所有原则，把哈利交给食死徒。还有隆巴顿夫妇，他们在逆境中团结一致。小天狼星非常认真地对待他作为哈利教父的角色……我们可以继续讲下去。不过有一件事是可以肯定的，那就是家庭(无论以何种形式)是魔法世界中爱的有力例证。
魔法世界里牢固的友谊
The power of friendship is something that should not be overlooked. After all, if it wasn’t for Harry Ron and Hermione’s bond, you could argue that Harry would not have been able to defeat Voldemort. Each of them brought something unique to their friendship, such as Harry’s bravery, Hermione’s cleverness and Ron’s loyalty. There is no doubt in our minds that they were always strongest when together. And they were by no means the only fantastic friendship to be found in the wizarding world. Seamus and Dean were rarely without one another for instance. Fred, George and Lee were the perfect pranking trio. Lily and Snape demonstrated you could be friends with someone from a different house. And without the four Marauders (yes, even Wormtail at one point), there would never have been the Marauder’s Map, which proved to be vital on more than one occasion. Platonic love can be just as strong as romantic love.
友谊的力量是不应该被忽视的。毕竟，如果不是哈利·罗恩和赫敏的关系，你可以说哈利不可能打败伏地魔。他们每个人都给他们的友谊带来了独特的东西，哈利的勇敢，赫敏的聪明，罗恩的忠诚。毫无疑问，他们在一起的时候总是最强大的。他们绝不是魔法世界里唯一的奇妙友谊。比如，西莫和迪安就经常在一起。弗雷德，乔治和李是完美的恶作剧三人组。莉莉和斯内普证明了你可以和来自不同家庭的人做朋友。没有那四个活点(是的，甚至有一次虫尾巴也不例外)，就不会有活点地图，它不止一次被证明是至关重要的。柏拉图式的爱情和浪漫的爱情一样强烈。
女巫、巫师和魔法生物
One form of the love in the wizarding world, that we want to shine a light on, is the bond between humans and magical creatures. Hagrid was someone who perfectly encapsulated this. He adored creatures of all kinds and always saw the good in them – even when many others could not. It took a certain kind of person to be doe-eyed over an Acromantula, three-headed dog, baby dragon or a Blast-Ended Skrewt and happily raise them – yet Hagrid managed to. Another person who had a deep affection for all fantastic beasts was Newt Scamander. As a Magizoologist his whole life was dedicated to creatures, and he always showed them respect and kindness. From the beasts he kept in his case, to the menagerie in his basement, you know that every single one of them was cared for and valued. We think that the love Hagrid and Newt had for every creature was incredibly pure and other people in the wizarding world could have learnt a lot from them.
在魔法世界中，我们想要展示的一种爱，就是人类和魔法生物之间的联系。海格完美地概括了这一点。他喜欢各种各样的动物，总是能看到它们身上的优点，即使别人看不到。只有这样的人才会对八爪鱼、三头狗、小火龙或炸尾螺睁大眼睛，高高兴兴地把它们养大，而海格却做到了。另一个对所有神奇动物都有着深厚感情的人是纽特·斯卡曼德。作为一名魔法动物学家，他的一生都奉献给了生物，他总是对它们表示尊敬和仁慈。从他的箱子里的动物，到他地下室里的动物园，你知道它们每一只都受到了照顾和重视。我们认为海格和纽特对每一种生物的爱都是无比纯洁的，魔法世界的其他人可以从他们身上学到很多东西。
角色们做出的许多牺牲
When Lily Potter was killed by Voldemort, she invoked an ancient and incredibly powerful magic… love. It was the love she had for her son that made her willing to sacrifice her own life to save his. And it was that love that not only saved Harry from the Killing Curse when he was an infant, but also protected him from Voldemort until he was seventeen years old.
当莉莉·波特被伏地魔杀死时，她唤醒了一种古老而强大的魔法——爱。是她对儿子的爱使她愿意牺牲自己的生命来救他。正是这份爱，在哈利还是个婴儿的时候，把他从杀戮咒中救了出来，而且保护他不受伏地魔的伤害，直到他十七岁。
And Lily wasn’t the only one prepared to sacrifice themselves for those they cared about, this was something Harry did too. At the end of the Battle of Hogwarts he willingly went to meet Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest – knowing he was walking to his death. He knew that if he surrendered, he would save his friends, chosen family and those that were fighting with him. Luckily, we know he survived a second time – but at that moment he certainly didn’t.
莉莉并不是唯一一个愿意为自己关心的人牺牲自己的人，哈利也这样做了。在霍格沃茨之战的最后，他心甘情愿地去禁林里见伏地魔——他知道自己正在走向死亡。他知道，如果他投降，他就能拯救他的朋友、亲人和那些与他并肩作战的人。幸运的是，我们知道他第二次活了下来——但那一刻他肯定没有活下来。
Finally, another quieter sacrifice that we have to mention was when Hermione erased her parents’ memories of her and sent them to Australia. It was her love for them that drove her to do this. She knew that it was the only way to keep them safe from Voldemort while she embarked on the hunt for Horcruxes. Though it must have been unbearably painful for her, it was also a very brave and selfless thing for her to do.
最后，我们必须提到的另一个更安静的牺牲是赫敏抹去了她父母对她的记忆，把他们送到了澳大利亚。是她对他们的爱驱使她这么做的。她知道，在她开始寻找魂器时，这是保护他们不受伏地魔伤害的唯一办法。虽然这对她来说一定是难以承受的痛苦，但这也是一件非常勇敢和无私的事情。
对魔法世界的热爱
Both times when Voldemort tried to make a grab for power, there were plenty of people who decided to stand against him and tried to defend the wizarding world. Whether they were in the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore’s Army, or just opposed Voldemort’s abhorrent views, they did what they could to protect the world that they cherished. They didn’t want it to become something that was rooted in hatred, fear and disdain for those who weren’t pure-bloods. And while the magical world had its faults and was in no way perfect, there were many that loved it because it was their home, and worth defending from evil.
当伏地魔试图夺取权力的时候，有很多人决定反对他，试图保护魔法世界。无论他们是凤凰社的成员，还是邓布利多军的成员，或者只是反对伏地魔令人憎恶的观点，他们都尽自己所能来保护他们所珍爱的世界。他们不希望它成为对非纯血统的仇恨、恐惧和鄙视的根源。虽然魔法世界有它的缺点，绝不是完美的，但还是有很多人热爱它，因为它是他们的家园，值得远离邪恶。
