對哈利·波特迷來說，夢中與哈利·波特相遇輕而易舉——日有所思，夜有所夢嘛！奇怪的是，一直以來，《哈利·波特》系列魔幻小說作者J·K·羅琳都否認自己夢見過哈利·波特的魔幻世界。不過，幾天前，J·K·羅琳與哈利夢中無緣的魔咒終于不攻自破。據(jù)報道，羅琳官方網(wǎng)站登載了她的最新日志，羅琳在日記里面說她夢見自己成了哈利·波特，一部史詩的敘述者。 |

Harry
Potter has entered the dreams of his creator, J.K. Rowling, for the first time,
and the British author feels both elated and stressed about completing the
seventh and final installment of the
hit book series.
But in the latest diary entry on her official Web site (www.jkrowling.com),
Rowling gives no hard clues as to what will happen at the end of the
upcoming book, amid speculation that
some of the characters, possibly Harry himself, will die.
"For years now, people have asked me whether I ever dream that I am 'in'
Harry's world," Rowling continued in her diary. "The answer was 'no' until a few
nights ago when I had an epic dream in which I was, simultaneously, Harry and
the narrator."
Rowling described how, as Harry, she was searching for the Horcrux (a magical
object), while as the narrator in the dream she knew where it was all along.
She saw waiters and waitresses from the cafe where she has been writing the
book walking on stilts making them "at least 15 feet high. Perhaps I should cut
back on the caffeine."
There is no firm date set for the completion of the final Harry Potter book,
although it is expected to hit the shelves some time in 2007.
"I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen
years or even more," she wrote in the diary entry dated December 19.
"I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to
finish this book (don't worry, I will)."
The book series has sold an estimated 300 million copies worldwide, making
Rowling one of the most successful authors of all time. A film franchise has also taken the box office by storm,
earning billions of dollars from four films made so far.
Rowling, 41, said she had seen a 20-minute clip from "Harry Potter and the
Order of the Phoenix," the fifth film based on her series due out next year,
which she called "fantastic."
Earlier this year Rowling said at least two characters would die in the final
book, but she did not name them.
