Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets

which makes you very different from Tom Riddle. it is our choices, harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Draco Malfoy made Dudley Dursley look like a kind,thoughtful and sensitive boy.

Dumbledore 人生心灵导师~ 虽然和 Harry 见面的机会不多，感觉他一直在引导着 Harry 去发现自己的内心，从之前告诉他 the power of love, 在到现在讲述选择的意义，超级奈斯。

每一个人都可能会有各种各样的特点，可能有不止一处的gifts，也可能没有什么超出常人的地方，但是，自己要成为一个怎么样的人，并不完全取决于自己的天性，而是自己的本心。就像《哪吒》里的“我命由我不由天”，即使我出生是颗“魔丸”，我依然可以主宰自己的人生。可能我没有那么多的天赋，只是一个像 Ron 一样的normal person, 我也可以一步步走向终点，即使慢一点，即使不那么splendid，但依然可以自己选择自己想要的人生。
