Hogwarts: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Hermione at the back end

Rounding up the word count does not affect reading

Dumbledore commented on "The Legend of the Three Brothers" When I was a child, this story made a deep impression on me.

The first time I listened to my mother, it quickly became the most common story I begged her to tell before I went to bed.

My brother Aberforth often argues with me about this, and his favorite story is "The Dirty Goat Bronke." The moral of "The Legend of the Three Brothers" could not be more obvious: mankind's attempt to evade the goods and conquer the Grim Reaper is doomed to fail. Only the third child in the story ("the most humble and smartest") understands that after escaping the Grim Reaper once, he can only hope to delay the next meeting with the Grim Reaper as much as possible.

The youngest brother understands that taunting the Grim Reaper — using force like the boss or the mysterious spiritualism of the second — means pitting against a scheming rival who never loses. Ironically, a strange rumor has arisen around this story, which is the opposite of the original moral of the story.

Rumor has it that the Grim Reaper's gifts to the three brothers—an invincible wand, a stone that can bring the dead back to life, and an invisibility cloak that never wears—are all things that do exist in the world. Rumor also says that if a person legally owns these three things, he (or she) becomes the "master of death", a phrase that is often considered to be invincible or even immortal. When we see the humanity revealed to us in the story, we may smile a little sadly.

The most benevolent explanation is: "Hope is eternal." "Although two of those three things are extremely dangerous, as Bedou says, and the moral of the story is clear: death will eventually take us, there is a small group of people in the wizarding world who still believe that Bedou has sent them a secret message, which is the opposite of what is written in black and white, and only they are wise enough to understand it.

There is little practical evidence behind their theory (perhaps more accurately with "desperate hope"). The true Cloak of Invisibility, as rare as it is, does exist in our world, but the story makes it clear that the Cloak of Death's Cloak of Invisibility has a unique durability. Centuries have passed since the time of Bidou's storytelling to where we are today, and no one claims to have found the Grim Reaper's cloak of invisibility.

Sincere believers justify it this way: the descendants of the third child do not know where their invisibility cloak comes from, or they decide to show the wisdom of their ancestors and not show off. Naturally, the stone was never found. As I've already said in my review of Babbitty the Rabbit and Her Croaking Stump, we are still powerless to come back to life, and there are good reasons to conclude that this will never happen. Of course, the Black Samurai tried some evil alternatives and created the Shadow Corpse, but the Shadow Corpse was not really awakened, but a ghostly zombie. Moreover, Bidou's story is very clear, the second lost lover has not really been resurrected. She was sent by the Grim Reaper to tempt the second child to fall into the clutches of the Grim Reaper, so she is cold, distant, and anxious. In the end, only the wand remained, and those who were stubborn enough to believe that Bedou had conveyed an obscure message had at least some historical evidence to back up their insane beliefs.

For throughout the ages, many wizards have claimed to possess a powerful wand, even an "invincible" wand, either to brag and show off, or to scare their enemies, or to really believe their claims. Some wizards also claim that their wands are made of elderwood, like the wand of the Grim Reaper in the story. Such wands have many names, such as "wand of fate", "wand of death", etc. It's no surprise that some old superstitions have emerged around our wands, since wands are, after all, our most important magic tool. Certain wands (and their masters) are said to be incompatible:

His wand was oak and hers holly, and the combination of the two would have been unfortunate.

or a character flaw that marks the owner:

Yamanashi is verbose, chestnut sloth, ash stubborn, hazel delicate.

Sure enough, in these unsubstantiated claims, we see:

Elderberry's wand never thrives.

I don't know if it's because the fictional wand of the Grim Reaper in the story of Pidou is made of elderwood, or because the power-hungry and brutal wizards insist that their wands are made of elderwood, which the wand makers don't like. The first documented elderberry wand with particularly powerful and dangerous magical powers, its owner was called Morrick, known as the "villain." He was "a short-lived but highly aggressive wizard who imposed a reign of terror in the south of England in the early Middle Ages." He was killed in a brutal duel with a wizard named Egbert. What happened to Egbert is unknown, but medieval duelists generally lived short. Before the Ministry of Magic began to regulate the use of dark arts, duels were usually deadly. Exactly a century later, another obnoxious character – his name is Godlot – writes a dangerous set of spells with the help of a wand that advances the study of the dark arts. He described his wand in his notebook as "my most wicked and mysterious friend, made of El Horn (the ancient name of elderberry), and familiar with the most evil forms of magic." ("The Most Evil Magic" became the title of Godlot's masterpiece.) Apparently, Goldlot saw his wand as a partner, or even a mentor. Those familiar with wand science believe that wands do absorb the user's technology, but this is unpredictable and incomplete, and all additional factors, such as the relationship between the wand and the user, must be taken into account in order to understand how it will behave in someone's hand. Still, an imaginary wand that has passed through the hands of many dark wizards will at least show a significant preference for the most dangerous magic. Most wizards prefer to use a "selective" wand instead of any second-hand wand, as second-hand wands have most likely learned some habits from the previous owner and are out of tune with the new master's magical style. When the owner dies, the wand is usually buried (or burned) with the owner, which also prevents a wand from learning from too many owners. However, those who believe in the "Elder Wand" theory believe that the hesitant "Elder Wand" pledged allegiance to a different master at one time—the latter master defeated the previous master, usually by ending his life—and so was never destroyed or incinerated. It has amassed a lot of wisdom, strength, and magic that is far superior to that of a normal wand. Goldlot is said to have died in his own cell, where he was held by his mad son, Hereward. We can only assert that Heriotward took his father's wand, otherwise Godlot would have escaped, but what happened to Heriotward with that wand, we don't know. Only one thing is certain, in the early eighteenth century, a wand appeared, and its owner, Barnabas Devriel, called it "the wand of the old man's head" and used it to earn himself a reputation as a "terrible witch". Later, the equally infamous Lohias took the wand, ending Barnabas's reign of terror and renaming it the "Death Stick", using it to kill anyone who him off. The subsequent history of Lohias' wand is difficult to trace, as many people claim to have killed him, including his own mother. Any wise wizard who studies the history of the so-called "Elder Wand" will notice that everyone who claims to have it (not a single witch has ever claimed to own the wand.) Guess for yourself what this means. They all insist that it is "invincible", but the fact that it has been through the hands of many masters shows that it has not only been defeated hundreds of times, but also caused trouble like a dirty goat Crumbus beckons flies. Finally, this pursuit of the Elder Wand supports a point that I have expressed many times in my long life: that human beings are obsessed with picking what is most detrimental to them. But if we were to pick the gift of death, who would show the wisdom of the third child? Whether it is a wizard or a Muggle, the heart is full of a thirst for power. How many people can refuse the Staff of Destiny, and who can resist the temptation of the Resurrection Stone for the loss of a loved one? Even I, Albus Dumbledore, will find the Cloak of Invisibility the easiest to refuse. This can only show that a smart person like me is actually a big fool like others.
