6. 《哈利·波特與混血王子》
It was nearing midnight and the Prime Minister was sitting alone in his office, reading a long memo that was slipping through his brain without leaving the slightest trace of meaning behind. He was waiting for a call from the President of a far distant country, and between wondering when the wretched man would telephone, and trying to suppress unpleasant memories of what had been a very long, tiring, and difficult week, there was not much space in his head for anything else.
差不多快到午夜了,首相獨自坐在辦公室里,讀著一份長長的備忘錄,但是他腦子里一片空白,根本不明白那上面寫的是什么意思。他在等一個遙遠國家的總統打來電話。他一方面懷疑那個倒霉的家伙到底會不會來電話,另一方面克制著對這一漫長而累人的一周的許多令人不快的回憶,所以腦子里便沒有多少空間想別的事情了。
《哈利·波特與混血王子》:書中的混血王子其實是西弗勒斯·斯內普教授,因為其母(純血統)的姓氏為 “Prince”(普林斯,英文意為“王子”),而其父是個麻瓜,他以自己是半個普林斯而榮幸,故稱自己為“混血王子”。斯內普用“阿瓦達索命”這句咒語 殺了鄧布利多,麥格教授成為了霍格沃茨魔法學校的臨時校長,但是學校很可能將會因為不安全而被關閉。
