Rowling in Moments from Half-Blood Prince, shiny gold Galleons and even a new potion or two, make sure you dont miss out just visit and answer our rhyming riddles. J.K.罗琳现下已经写好了混血王子 ，魔法金币还有甚至一两剂新魔药，确保你 没有错过快来访问 来猜猜我们押韵的谜语吧！ Update: Heres the third riddle. 最新的谜语三。 Spoiler: The riddle reveals new writing from Rowling, explaining why she made Snape Potions Master: 剧透：谜语中暗藏罗琳的新故事，解释了为什么她让斯内普成为魔药课教师： “Chemistry was my least favourite subject at school, and I gave it up as soon as I could. Naturally when I was trying to decide which subject Harrys arch-enemy, Severus Snape, should teach, it had to be the wizarding equivalent. This makes it all the stranger that I found Snapes introduction to his subject quite compelling (I can teach you to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death), apparently part of me found Potions quite as interesting as Snape did; and indeed I enjoyed creating potions in the books, and researching ingredients for them.” “化学是我在学校里最讨厌的课程，而且我一可以摆脱它就马上放弃学化学了。自然 的，当我想要决定哪门课会是哈利的天敌时，西弗勒斯斯内普，必须要教授这门课， 必须是魔法等效。这让一切变得更奇怪了，因为我发现斯内普为他课程所做的介绍十 分吸引人（“我可以教会你们怎样提高声望，酿造荣耀，甚至阻止死亡”），显然 我发现斯内普教授的魔药学很有意思；而且我确实喜欢在书里创造药剂，为它们寻找 原料。” The second riddle led to information about Florean Fortesque, owner of Diagon Alleys ice cream parlour. 第二个谜语是关于福洛林福斯科，对角巷冰淇淋小店的店主 Rowling reveals she had him kidnapped, intending him to be rescued later by Harry, but eventually cut the plot line. 罗琳透露她本来打算让他被绑架之后被哈利救了，但是最终砍掉了这个情节。 Rowling writes: 罗琳写道： “I seemed to have had him kidnapped and killed for no reason. He is not the first wizard whom Voldemort murdered because he knew too much (or too little), but he is the only one I feel guilty about, because it was all my fault.“ “我似乎本来不用给出任何原因就让他被绑架然后杀掉了。他不是被伏地魔杀掉的第一 个巫师了，因为他知道的太多（或者太少），但是他是唯一一个让我有罪恶感的，因 为都是我的错。“ We also got a short history of the Leaky Cauldron pub. 我们也能读到破釜酒吧的一小段历史。 “Some people argue that the oldest pub in London is the White Hart on Drury Lane. All of these people are Muggles, and all of them are wrong. The oldest pub in London, as any wizard will tell you, is the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Road.” “有人认为伦敦最古老的酒吧是德鲁里巷的白鹿酒吧。这些人都是麻瓜，而且他们都 错了。伦敦最古老的酒吧，任何一个巫师都会告诉你是查令十字路的破釜酒吧。” The first riddle revealed a history of the fictional town of Cokeworth, where Lily Evans and Severus Snape grew up. 第一个谜语透露了科克沃斯的一个虚构小镇的历史，是莉莉埃文斯和西弗勒斯 斯内普 长大的地方。 Heres a short excerpt from the entry: 这里放一小段摘录： “Uncle Vernon has a vague idea that Cokeworth is so distinctly unmagical, the letters will not follow them there. He ought to have known better; after all Petunias sister, Lily, turned into a talented witch in Cokeworth.” “弗农姨夫有个含糊的概念，就是科克沃斯很明显没有魔法，信件是不会送到他们那 里的。他应该了解的更详细一些；在佩妮姨妈的妹妹莉莉变成科克沃斯成为天赋异常
