Harry Potter's grave draws tourists to Israeli town

影迷争相朝圣哈利坟墓
影迷争相朝圣哈利坟墓

Tourists and film fans are flocking to the grave of Harry Potter -- but not the teenage wizard created by J. K. Rowling, the Daily Telegraph reports. Potter was a British soldier killed in 1939, and his grave is drawing tourists to the backwater Israeli town of Ramle. "There is no connection with the Harry Potter we know from literature, but the name sells, the name is marketable," said a tour guide who has taken dozens of tour groups to see the grave.

英国《每日电讯报》消息,日前,游客影迷们都争相去哈利·波特坟墓朝圣,但是这个坟墓并不属于J.K.罗琳小说中的那个会魔法的少年哈利。死者波特是一名英国士兵,于1939年牺牲。他的墓吸引了众多游客争相来到这个闭塞的以色列小镇拉姆勒。一个带过很多旅行团来这个墓地参观的导游说:“这个墓和小说中的哈利·波特没有任何关系,但这个名字就是卖点,很有市场。”
