好喜欢!尤其是那个组cp!

标题:我们推测了一些霍格沃茨魔法学校里的画像在无人观看时做的事情

导语:如果你在一个学校里被整天挂在墙上的话,你很可能会找一些好玩的方式消磨时间。

正文:霍格沃茨魔法学校里的画像当然不仅是画像——从我们在HP小说中读到的几幅画像来看,他们知道该怎么找些乐子。所以,如果那些画像上的人物可以进入另一幅画里的话,想出新的通行密码,给学生们提供建议,与学生挑战来进行决斗,通过这些你就可以推测出在四下无人时他们可能和其他画像在一起干什么。

比如说……

一、对学生们的事打赌

当你总是无所事事地待在墙上直到永远时,对画像来说唯一可以做的就是与他们周围的画像玩游戏——比如说对学生们的事在私下里打赌。

比如说,有时候我们可能会去观察雨滴迅速落在外面的窗户上的情景,而画像们可能喜欢让学生们“竞赛”,看看哪个学生先从活动楼梯上下来。(当然,最终结果由那些循规蹈矩的中立的画像裁决)

画像们甚至可以根据他们自创的竞赛结果和其他学校活动(如考试结果,魁地奇世界杯等)做出一个复杂的排行榜。在霍格沃茨城堡里有许多事情发生,这就能够使你偶尔拿某件事打赌成为了可能。

二、在学生们上床睡觉时吓唬他们

设想一下你是某个长期受苦的名人的画像,像是阿德贝·沃夫林(《魔法理论》的作者),午夜时,你被一群偷溜出来的、叛逆的格兰芬多吵醒。你没有花费很多时间让自己成为一个了不起的人物,却被一群小屁孩打扰到休息。(我理解这里是说他那么了不起,而那群小屁孩敢打扰到他休息,这很让人无语吧)

难道这还不能使你悄悄地移到在那群小屁孩前面的画像里,然后等他们刚好走到一个特别黑的地方或走廊时大喊:“BOO!”吗?这会非常有趣的。菲尼亚斯·奈杰勒斯(霍格沃茨前校长)的画像看起来就像做这种事的类型。

三、更换位置来看看谁会注意到

尽管画像们偶尔会四处移动,但他们无论如何都只是家具的一部分。那么有什么能比观看哪幅画像能以最长的时间装作另一幅画像来使生活变得有声有色的更好的方式呢?我们可以想象得到,卡多根爵士可能会在这方面表现得很糟糕,他坐在胖夫人的朋友维奥莱特的画面里,用滑稽的尖声说话,并且戴着她的帽子。卡多根爵士可能会真的这样,但是谁知道呢!

四、戏弄吉德罗·洛哈特的画像

吉德罗·罗哈特在霍格沃茨里担任黑魔法防御课老师时,在教室和他办公室里有许多他自己的照片和画像。(实际上,在《哈利波特与消失的密室》电影中展示了大量他自己为自己画的画像)

如果你被洛哈特各种各样的人像包围——不仅有课堂上的人像还有所有假期里的人像——这难道还不能让你小小地和他们开一下玩笑吗?这是第二个最有趣的事,毕竟画像们取笑的是本人。

五、给他们最喜欢的学生组CP

当你几周以来每天都被困在同一面墙上时,你就会有许多时间来打听到那些你感兴趣的学生——以及他们的时间表。一段时间后,或许画像们会了解到哪位学生喜欢美女(这地儿我不会翻译,原文是nursing crushes),来决定对另一个人来说最合适的人,或者并不是那么合适的人。你甚至可以掌控学生们恋爱的情况。想象一下,古老的梅林的画像让一位学生停下来和他聊天,因为她喜欢的男孩将会随时从走廊里下来……(内心:可以安排小哈和拽哥不?)

六、暑假时举办狂野的派对

我们从胖夫人和维奥莱特那里得知,魔法画像们可以享受一点酒,只要这些酒是画上的(他们从一些喝醉了的修道士那里喝了几桶葡萄酒)。经过漫长的暑假,理论上他们应该是有无限大量的食物和饮料,因为几乎是几英里外的油画都到霍格沃茨来享用那些美味。想象一下不断举办的狂野派对吧。

为画像里的人物们举办的漫长的盛大派对提供足够的帮助是原作画家们的荣誉。

Things we bet the Hogwarts portraits do when no one is watching

If you were pinned to a wall in a school all day you’d probably find some creative ways to spend your time.

The Hogwarts portraits are certainly more than just paint - from the ones we meet over the course of the books, they know how to have a bit of fun. So if the subjects of such portraits can move into other portraits, make up passwords, give advice, and challenge the students to duels, you can bet they probably get up to all sorts of other stuff when nobody is watching.

Such as...

Placing bets on the students

When you're sitting around for all eternity on a wall, it'd only be natural for the portraits to start playing games with their surroundings - such as secretly placing bets on the Hogwarts students.

In the way that we might watch raindrops race down the outside of windows, for example, maybe portraits like to 'race' the Hogwarts students and see which one makes it down the moving staircases first (adjudicated by neutral portraits following the route, of course).

The portraits could even keep a complex league table based on this and other school activities (exam results, the Quidditch Cup, etc.). So much happens at Hogwarts, it makes sense you'd put a wager on things from time to time.

Scaring students back into bed

Imagine you’re a long-suffering wizarding portrait of someone famous, like Adalbert Waffling, and you get woken up in the middle of the night by a bunch of rebel Gryffindors sneaking around. You didn't waste all that time becoming a legacy to get bothered by a bunch of kids.

Wouldn’t you be tempted to silently flit through other portraits after them, and shout 'BOO!' just as they reach a particularly dark patch of corridor? It would be hilarious. Phineas Nigellus’s portrait seems like the type who’d do this sort of thing.

Switching places to see who notices

Although they’re moved around occasionally, the portraits must eventually feel like part of the furniture. What better way to liven things up than seeing which portrait can go the longest pretending to be another? We imagine Sir Cadogan would be terrible at this, sitting in the frame for Violet, the Fat Lady’s friend, talking in a comically high-pitched voice and wearing her hat. Maybe. Who knows!

Teasing the portraits of Gilderoy Lockhart

During his time as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, Gilderoy Lockhart had many pictures and portraits of himself in his office and classroom (in fact, in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) he was shown to have a large portrait of himself painting a portrait… of himself. Meta).

If you were trapped with several versions of Lockhart - not just in lessons but all through the school holidays too - wouldn’t you be tempted to make fun of them a little? It’s the next best thing to making fun of the man himself, after all.

Matchmaking their favourite students

When you’re stuck to the same wall every day for weeks you have a lot of time to get to know the students - and their schedules.

Over time perhaps the portraits would figure out which students were nursing crushes, and decide who was right for one another, or who was not-so right. You could even manipulate the circumstances. Imagine an ancient portrait of Merlin stopping a student for a chat because the boy she likes will be coming down the corridor any minute now…

Having wild parties over the summer holidays

We know from the Fat Lady and Violet that magical portraits can enjoy a bit of a tipple, as long as it’s a painted tipple (they consumed several vats of wine from a portrait of some drunk monks). Over the long weeks of the summer holiday they have a theoretically unlimited amount of food and drink, and practically miles of canvas across which to enjoy it. Imagine the wild parties that must ensue.

Kudos to the artists of the original paintings for providing the subjects with enough party favours for a lifetime bash.
