Don't kill Harry Potter, authors urge
[ 2006-08-03 08:37 ]

自今年六月份以來,《哈利·波特》系列魔幻小說的作者J·K·羅琳再次成為公眾關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn),羅琳曾在六月份向媒體暗示:哈利·波特有可能在《哈》最后一部系列小說中死去。日前,美國(guó)兩名當(dāng)代頂尖作家約翰·歐文和斯蒂芬·金向羅琳發(fā)出請(qǐng)求,希望她筆下留人,在小說結(jié)尾處放主人公哈利·波特一條生路。但羅琳并未對(duì)哈利·波特的命運(yùn)做出承諾。羅琳稱:“我經(jīng)常試圖以我計(jì)劃的方式結(jié)尾,但兩個(gè)我原來預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)活下來的人物還是死了?!?#160;

Two of America's top authors, John Irving and Stephen King,made a pleato J.K. Rowling on Tuesday not to kill the fictional boy wizard Harry Potter in the final book of the series, but Rowling made no promises.

"My fingers are crossed for Harry," Irving said at a joint news conference before a charity reading by the three writers at New York's Radio City Music Hall.

King, who shot to fame in 1974 with "Carrie," said he had confidence that Rowling would be "fair" to her hero.

Rowling, a Briton whose books have sold 300 million copies worldwide according to her publishers, said she was well into the process of writing the final book.

"I feel quite liberated," she said.

"I can resolve the story now and it's fun in a way it wasn't before because finally I've reached my resolution, and I think some people will loathe it and some people will love it, but that's how it should be."

"We're working toward the end I always planned but a couple of characters I expected to survive have died and one charactergot a reprieve," she said, declining to elaborate.

Asked about the wisdom of killing off fictional characters, Rowling said she didn't enjoy killing the major character who died in book six -- for the sake of those who haven't read it yet she avoided naming the victim -- but she said the conventions of the genre demanded the hero go on alone.

"I understand why an author would kill a character from the point of view of not allowing others to continue writing after the original author is dead," she added, leaving the door open to the worst fears of some fans -- that Harry could die.

King recalled that when he had a character kick a dog to death in his novel "Dead Zone" he received more letters of complaint than ever, to his surprise.

"You want to be nice and say 'I'm sorry you didn't like that,' but I'm thinking to myself number one, he was a dog not a person, and number two, the dog wasn't even real," he said.

"I made that dog up, it was a fake dog, it was a fictional dog, but people get very, very involved," King said.
