The HP Orb Game

Review of "Parselope Nights" Warning to quit: The original work is only over 7,000 words long, but this review is nearly half that. When I wrote nearly two thousand words, I still hadn't finished the outline, and then I slowly realized that I was wasting my time. If you don't have time to watch this, you might as well watch (or rewatch) the original work. ... Of course I still want to write, thank you for your willingness to continue reading. What makes fan fiction different from other novels is that they follow other people's original settings/characters. Lemon Drop, the author of this article, has an amazing grasp of the original HP characters. The best examples, in addition to the article to be discussed, are her original HP reading fan "Reading the Future" and three "A Brief Analysis of the Character of Grindelwald" (the analysis of Gerden is extremely accurate). My understanding of HP's original work, GG, and AD is far less profound than the author's. I am just here as a reader, from a personal perspective, to write down some of my random thoughts after reading. The story setting of "Parselope Nights" is simple and exquisite. After the victory of the war, the British Prime Minister Mr. W was visited by Dumbledore on a snowy night and was entrusted to accompany the latter to meet Grindelwald in prison and ask him a question. The author's writing style is very neat, no nonsense, no cliché, and every description is just right. The full text is narrated from the perspective of Prime Minister Mr. W, and records the wonderful dialogue and exchange between Ge and Deng from the perspective of a third-party witness. It not only reveals the past between Ge and Deng that has been unknown to the world for thirty years, but also proves the clear-cut good and evil positions of both sides that led to the war between the two. Mr. Prime Minister is sober, rational, humorous and empathetic. He decided to trust Dumbledore and agreed to help, but did not follow blindly. He observed Grindelwald using his skillful rhetoric to attack Dumbledore's character, but he did not get carried away. When he saw Dumbledore reveal his privacy and reveal his unspeakable vulnerability, he treated him with respect and compassion without looking directly or judging. Throughout, Mr. W retained independent judgment on what he saw and heard. This is in line with the qualities a country's prime minister should have, and behind it is the author's calm and objective interpretation of the relationship between Ge and Deng. One of the highlights of this article is the presentation of the dialogue between Ge and Deng. Some comments on LJJ lamented that "GG is too good at scolding", which I deeply agree with. The sacrifice of his career and the shackles of prison could not make him wake up. They would only give him time to chew on his frustrations and losses. When Dumbledore, the instigator, came to the door, Grindelwald's accumulated emotions immediately and mercilessly poured into the opponent who had put him in such an unbearable situation. This egocentrist, a master at playing with people's hearts, was extremely calm at first. He knew Dumbledore so well that he knew what the other person wanted as soon as he opened his mouth. Now that it was Dumbledore who wanted something from him, he immediately took the initiative in the conversation. He calmly dangled Dumbledore's needs like a carrot, and while using harsh words to poke Dumbledore's heart mercilessly, he approached Dumbledore step by step, deepening his embarrassment and pain. He completely forgot that he was the one who was unswervingly evil. He put the other person on the altar of the saint and dismembered him carefully. He picked out the dark side and negative emotions that an ordinary person normally has, and added his own imagination and speculation to denounce them one by one, as if he knew his despicable inner world very well. Uninformed people may easily fall into Grindelwald's logical trap, thinking that these words are somehow so reasonable, true and appropriate that Dumbledore can only weakly refute or simply remain silent. But maybe Dumbledore just didn't want to offend Grindelwald before getting the answer, or he was unconsciously trying to evade his former lover - rather than believing that the other party didn't understand him, or that the other party just didn't care about his feelings. Grindelwald is heartless after all. He would never play the trump card in his hand so that his opponent could get what he wanted. Even if he really understood Dumbledore, he would not empathize with him. In order to show that Grindelwald is good at using language to manipulate people's hearts, the author designed a detail: Grindelwald's name for the person he is talking to will change again and again according to the intention of the conversation. For the Prime Minister, even if he is politely addressed as "Sir" at first, it does not prevent him from being called "old fool" and "lower creature" in contempt later. The same is true for Dumbledore. When Grindelwald first seized the initiative, he had a dismissive attitude. He did not call Dumbledore by his name and directly addressed him as "you". He laughed at him when he made a deal with the devil for secrets and praised him as "a great hero, the saint's Albus". He lamented that Dumbledore had become an "old friend" in the past and satirized him. When he was sanctimonious, he called him "Mr. Good", when he lamented that he was miserable and uneasy, he called him "great hero"... When Dumbledore insisted on the original question, Grindelwald still refused to answer directly. Instead, he threw out a very leading rhetorical question with obvious malice, which completely dug out Dumbledore's heartache and made it expressive. However, when Grindelwald's heart-wrenching words succeeded in breaking Dumbledore's heart, his eyes lit up and he declared with excitement that defeated his opponent: "This is all your fault." The words are short, but they are an important turning point. Who would ignore reason and logic and say such irresponsible things? Grindelwald's cold-blooded character as an emotional manipulator was completely exposed. The credibility of his previous speculations and explanations about Dumbledore's past has also been reduced. After easily shirking responsibility, he relied on the beautiful memories he and Dumbledore created to stand on a false moral high ground, pity and hurt himself in a roundabout way, and lamented his lover's betrayal. But Dumbledore regained his composure and no longer retreated weakly or was manipulated into feeling ashamed and guilty - Dumbledore felt sad. This sadness immediately stimulated Grindelwald - he had already lost the magic battle, his dignity was in ruins, and his opponent, who had been ridiculed and blamed harshly by him, stood outside the iron fence as if to show mercy to him. Unable to accept his weak position, he finally showed his true feelings and angrily had a real quarrel with Dumbledore. The two men openly expressed their views on each other, and their conflicts were so intense that they were irreconcilable. After Dumbledore sternly accused him of not knowing how to repent but only knowing how to escape, Grindelwald could only laugh in response. He retreats to his home, "into the deep shadows," voluntarily ending the conversation between the two. Grindelwald would seize Dumbledore's privacy and weaknesses and attack them. Dumbledore must have foreseen it. At that time, Grindelwald had not yet entered Nurmengard and was still being held in the United Front Prison. With a heart destined to be hurt, Dumbledore asked the other party a question that he already knew the answer to shortly after the decisive battle. Why? Is it because there is a slight possibility that Grindelwald will take the blame on himself? Is it to guide Grindelwald to return from the lost path and feel regret and guilt after his career failed? Is it because I have been feeling sorry for my sister's death alone for thirty years, and I want an insider to communicate, explain, or blame me? Is it because a lonely genius still wants to be understood when facing another genius and his former confidant, even if there are countless grievances and grievances between them? This article does not give a clear answer, and this blank space is very clever. There may not be a single and perfect explanation for Dumbledore's motivations, but the information in the article is enough for readers to understand in detail. At the same time, designing Dumbledore's approach of "knowing that he cannot do something but doing it" does not detract from his image, but makes him appear real and noble. He treats people politely and has a bottom line. He is hurt and has the ability to fight back after being hurt. Grindelwald ignored him at first, but he was not humble. He waited for a minute and then left resolutely. Grindelwald's storm of words stung him, but never knocked him down. His retort left Grindelwald speechless - Grindelwald declared that he "didn't intend to roar like a beast in front of you", but Dumbledore finally forced him to roar like a beast (a wonderful echo). In the end, Dumbledore turned defeat into victory. However, this victory is illusory and the character relationships are stagnant. Even though the two cursed each other heartily, they were ultimately unable to convince or control each other. Dumbledore did not get the answer he wanted (the answer may not exist), nor did he see Grindelwald's confession; Grindelwald's emotional manipulation of Dumbledore was invalid, and he had to realize his failure again. So far this article has perfectly demonstrated the character, stance and relationship of the two protagonists, and everything they say and do is on point. If it ends here, the reader has nothing to complain about. However, the author gives a more meaningful ending. Mr. Prime Minister used his keen political acumen to discern Dumbledore's unspoken intentions. Dumbledore has a transcendent status in the wizarding world, and Mr. Prime Minister must be aware of it. It is hard to imagine that such a polite but distant genius would take the initiative to expose his secrets to others, and it is even harder to imagine that he would carelessly choose the target of his exposure. How did two of the greatest wizards of our time part ways, leading to a life-or-death battle that would overturn the world? After witnessing this night, Mr. Prime Minister has a deeper understanding. This understanding made him trust Dumbledore more and endorse him in front of future successors. It also made him more wary of the disastrous consequences that the estrangement between people could lead to. When Dumbledore and the Prime Minister walked out of the prison, he asked the latter if he needed help with his snow-wet coat. Mr. Prime Minister half-heartedly refused—a testament to the estrangement between the two men. Undoubtedly, when one of the Muggle leaders has such an understanding, the estrangement between wizards and Muggles will be less likely to escalate into hostility, and peace will have a chance to be maintained longer. This is the profound meaning of Dumbledore's action. This unique concept adds the finishing touch to the images of Dumbledore and Mr. Prime Minister, and is a sublimation of the entire text. This article was completed when the Communist Party of China came to power. I guess the author who studied American imperialism must have had some feelings in mind when he wrote the article. Today, nearly four years later, the practical significance of this article still exists. Dissent among different races has become even more acute, and the world situation has become more turbulent. Even if there is a savior or leader who can turn the tide, it is ultimately us who face the consequences and take responsibility. "Don't give up hope." This review is dedicated to the author lemon drop. Thank you for writing such a great GGAD fanfic. I know that you are being coerced by the COVID-19 epidemic and reality, and are forced to experience some dark moments full of dissatisfaction and uncertainty. I wish you all the best and all the best.

"If I poke you, I'll keep you out of the rain." What's the matter with this poke that's inexplicably cute? 2333

What I wanted to find before clicking into the comment area was to find an answer: was the last paragraph a fantasy of GG, or was AD really here? Did the dead person refer to Ariana, Dumbledore, or others. But after I clicked in, I had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized: these are not important. Words, sentences, and stories are created by the creator, and then they come to life and begin to develop on their own. To be disrespectful, it doesn't matter what the author was thinking when she wrote it. After all, what she wrote was vague, and after publishing, they came alive. They have had various interpretations, stories, and appearances in the second or even third creation - the charm of fandom. What readers need is to understand this beauty and give them new life. Finally, after I type this confusing and irreverent sentence, please allow me to express my gratitude to the author: I have lost the desire to express myself for a long time, and several articles in this book inspired me to type this paragraph and publish it. I think I'll get back to my passion for expressive communication and try my hand at fandom, thank you.

After re-reading it, I found it very amazing. Both the temptation of GG and the sincere infatuation of AD when they were young were vividly depicted. What is terrible is that after they separated, they seemed very different from what they were back then. GG seemed to be full of obsession. After completing half of the great cause of ruling, he seemed arrogant and complacent. He spared no effort to ridicule AD, and AD seems to have washed away all the frivolity and arrogance, becoming polite, always calm, unmoved and a bit cold. I really like the last sentence "I saw dead people". To be honest, this is the perfect ending for AD and GG in the entire HP series. Ashes to dust, dust to dust, forget about old things, nothing can compete with the fading of time.

Oh my god I went to Taobao specifically to look for it. Not found Suddenly I realized this was an update from four years ago…

It was so well written that a little girl died quietly while watching it. . . .

OMG this chapter was great. It's unimaginable that lemon's style of imitating Churchill's diary can be so similar... (I imagined the image of Mr. W throughout the entire process of Darkest Hour, aka the fat version of Sirius)

The last +1 is super interesting! Especially the last paragraph! My personal understanding is as follows. 1. AD is not dead or has passed away and GG has learned about it. "I dreamed about dead people" is what GG wanted to say before, and the dead person he was referring to was Ariana. His words represent his repentance. Second, AD has passed away and the news of his death has been learned by GG. Taking the title literally, what GG wanted to say before was love. The dead person GG refers to is AD. But "he stopped", he woke up from the hallucination, that is, the "dream" of "Albus came to see him", but he was not fully awake, so he said "Albus" again (but I always feel that this is GG's mantra, or some kind of symbolic sustenance). Third, the more sick one, AD has passed away and the news of his death has been known to GG. "I dreamed of a dead person" is what GG wanted to say before, and the dead person refers to AD. I don't know how to express what I mean, so I put it at the end. Maybe GG doesn't believe AD is dead emotionally but knows it intellectually. So here we appeal to AD who are alive in the fantasy, but we also talk about "dead people". More psychotic than two. I think GG here should be between different illusions. Anyway, he can't tell the difference and I can't tell ORZ either [Obviously I'm clumsy. Finally, if you are slapped, please do it gently_(:з∠)_

Is Mr. W Winston Churchill? I seem to remember that the two wars were about the same time. .

I would like to ask the author that in the five times they mentioned love and once they didn't, Albus thought he was in love with Gellert but he didn't mean that Albus didn't love Gellert in this article? I also hope other book friends can help answer the question. Never Look Back and Five Times left a deep impression on me. Is there love between Gellert and Albus in Never Look Back? Hope the answer is available, thank you
