Wenwen, who was born in the 90s, is an old fan for more than ten years, and she first entered the pit because this series of novels was a compulsory reading subject on campus when she was studying, purely as an extracurricular reading list, but she didn't expect to be attracted all of a sudden, and many stories and characters about friendship and courage in the book gave her a lot of encouragement.
"The most impressive thing is that when I was approaching the high school entrance examination, I hid under the covers and secretly read the latest novel with a flashlight. I particularly liked Snape's actor Alan · Rickman, so I worked very hard to learn English in high school, and my English level in high school was still okay, although it has almost degraded now. Wenwen said with a smile.
In the "Harry · Potter" series, whether it is the trio of iron triangle protagonists or all kinds of characters, the author's vivid portrayal of friendship has touched countless readers and audiences, and Wenwen is also deeply affected, "I will trust friends more, because friendship is a very important part in "Harry · Potter", I am very willing to believe in friendship, I am very willing to make friends, and share what I cherish and care about with my friends, so that friends can be my reliance." ”
As she grows older, the reason why Wenwen has been staying at the "bottom of the pit" is because this work is often seen and new, "When you are a child, it may be an understanding, but when you become an adult and work, you will watch it and there will be a new understanding." The point is that I really like the purity of the wizarding world, it can help me escape from some problems in real life, and I can find a lot of happiness in the wizarding world. ”
Foxi, who is also a post-90s fan, has liked this IP for 22 years, and she first entered the pit because of reading novels, she still remembers that the first book she read was bought by her mother in Xinhua Bookstore, because she had not read this type of novel before, which completely opened the door to a new world for her.
Foxi felt that he was about the same age as the main character Harry when he first came into contact with the novel, and it was as if he had grown up with Harry for so many years, and he had a very deep affection for him. Later, Sirius, her favorite character, dies in the novel, leaving her very hurt. "It hit me quite hard at the time, and the direction of the rest of this novel was completely unexpected to me, so I was most impressed."
Foxi, who was in adolescence at the time, read that Harry in the novel was also in adolescence, and the experience in the story resonated with her.
"Including the relationship between him and his friends, it is also very real that some of the things that I will encounter on my own. In the end, everyone supported each other and worked hard to get through the difficulties, which helped me to make some choices in my life at that stage, such as when I encountered difficulties in my studies, which made me feel as if I was not the only one who would encounter them, and helped me get through the more difficult moments. ”
Looking back at this work now, Foxi feels that it is more like a kind of nostalgia, nostalgia for the past time, "nostalgia for the past when I was very simple and naïve. ”
The reporter also saw a post-00s fan at the scene of "Harry· Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", this fan has just worked, she recalled that she had read novels and movies in junior high school, but in fact, she revisited it repeatedly in high school, and only then did she really understand it better, "I especially like the two characters of Harry and Headmaster Dumbledore, friendship and courage are the two most important things I learned in my works." ”
When she graduated from university, her graduation project was a mock curator with the theme of "Harry · Potter", from computer drawings to paper house models and self-made videos, and finally got a high score, which made her very proud. "I've also improved my studies, and if I like it, I'll create some works for it, and I think I'm very happy."
