해리포터

 

판타지를 그닥 즐기지 않는 나는 한때 국민소설 아니 지구소설쯤 되려나 하는 '해리포터'를 영화로 보지도 책으로도 접하지 않았다. 

우리집 녀석들 여러차례 보는 동안 난 늘 시작은 함께 했으나 꼭 잠들기 일쑤였으니. 

어제는 녀석들 추억의 영화보기로 해리포터를 보는데 처음부터 끝까지 함께 보았다. 판타지도 볼만하던걸. 

아이들에게 '엄마는 스펙트럼이 넓단다' 으스대며. 

그중 대사가 맘에 와닿는 부분이 있어 원작에서 찾아보고 싶었다. 

 

"...The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is."

"It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. You,who have never known your family, see them standing around you. Ronald Weasley, who has always been overshadowed by his brothers, sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them. However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible."
