“你接到霍格沃茨的电话了吗？”最近，你的朋友圈是否被一封来自霍格沃茨魔法学院的入学通知刷屏？

 

A Harry¹ Potter-themed mobile phone game has become a hit in the Chinese market following its launch on Thursday, with millions of players posting pictures of the Hogwarts castle and Sorting Hat on social media.

一款以《哈利·波特》为主题的手游9月9日上线后，在国内市场引起轰动，数百万玩家在社交媒体上分享了霍格沃茨城堡和分院帽的图片。

 

"Harry Potter Magic Awakened²" is a game produced by NetEase and fans can try the Sorting Hat to see which of the four houses one belongs to, team up for potion and other classes, explore the wizarding world and compete for the House Cup.

《哈利·波特：魔法觉醒》手游由网易制作，游戏中玩家可以尝试分院帽，看看自己属于四个学院中的哪个学院，组队参加魔药课和其他魔法课程，探索魔法世界，角逐学院杯。

 

《魔法觉醒》上线后成为“魔法界”的一大盛事。“你收到霍格沃茨的电话了吗”“我在霍格沃茨看烟花”“四年后又成为室友”等话题接二连三地登上了微博热搜榜。

 

The gamer's offer is not delivered by an owl³, but by Hagrid — exactly how Harry received his offer.

玩家的“入学通知”不是由猫头鹰投递，而是和哈利收到的方式一样：由海格亲自送达。

 

Instead of encountering the Weasleys, the gamers meet Harry Potter at the 9 ¾ platform, who then offers advice about Hogwarts life.

在九又四分之三站台，玩家不会遇到韦斯莱一家，而是会碰到哈利·波特，他会对你在霍格沃茨的生活提出忠告。

 

There were three unforgivable curses in the Harry Potter world - Cruciatus, which causes unbearable⁴ pain, Imperius, which allows the user to control the actions of the victim, and Avada Kedavra, that causes instant death.

在《哈利·波特》世界中有三个不可饶恕咒语——造成难以忍受的痛苦的“钻心咒”、允许使用者控制受害者行为的“夺魂咒”和导致瞬间死亡的“阿瓦达索命咒”。

 

But in the game, the killing⁵ curse is an easy-to-get card as long as the gamer is willing to spend a bit of money.

但在游戏中，只要玩家愿意花点钱氪金，就可以轻松得到索命咒的卡牌。

 

The Unforgivable Curses in Harry Potter are some of the most powerful and dangerous spells of the Dark Arts, and were classified as “unforgivable” in 1717.

在《哈利·波特》中，不可饶恕咒是最强大、最危险的黑魔法咒语，1717年被归为“不可饶恕”咒语。

 

The use of any of these on another human, whether muggle or wizard, was punished with a life sentence in Azkaban, but that never stopped Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters from using them constantly.

无论是对麻瓜还是巫师使用这类咒语，都会被判处无期徒刑，关押在阿兹卡班。但这并没有阻止伏地魔和食死徒们使用它们。

 

In order to successfully use any of them, the caster must have great willpower, skill, and desire to use them for malevolent⁶ purposes.

要想驾驭这些咒语，施咒者必须拥有强大的意志力、技能和作恶的欲望。
