家园 this 翟老师 is very smart

Among all the English literature professors I saw back in China, this guy (or lady) is the only person who see deeply through all the weil and understand the delicate history/cultures of the UK people. 一个本土人没在英美社会里生活过长时间,而能有此深度认识,真是相当厉害了。

《哈利-波特》的作者罗琳--Novel is just a colored representation of one author's personal experience, and her nation's cultural background.

That's also why her book is a sensation in Anglo-Saxon nations, because lots of words, symbols, experience echo well with people under the same cultural framework.

Chinese readers will not fully enjoy her book because of cultural background difference.

是有精炼折射欧洲(盎-撒和北欧)文明的深意的--it is a mixture of Christianity (e.g., the dark lord, evil in people's heart) and Northern European's legacy from pagan era.

The pagan era legacy will often resurface in times of difficulty. If you check history, you will notice that Germany Nazi top leadership often practised some woodoo religious rituals during 1940s. It is amazing that a nation that contributed so much in Science has its leaders so obsessed in pagan ways.
