文化面面觀 Invisibility——隱身之謎在這片段中，哈利和羅恩藉助哈利父親留下的一件隱身鬥篷在晚上偷跑到海格的小屋，也是藉助鬥篷的力量才躲過了其後而來的魔法部長和巫師馬爾福。
隱身衣實在是個好東西，如果我也能有一件就好了。事實上，關於隱身的傳說在神話和童話中都不少。下面我們就來了解一下隱身之謎。
Invisibility in FolkloreA constant motif in folktales throughout the world is the powerofbecoming invisible, giving the possessor of this powerspecialadvantages in overhearing an enemy"s plans, winning battleswithpowerful adversaries, or merely stealing valuable tsunperceived.Usually invisibility was conferred by an t or garment,such as amagic ring, stone, cap, shoes, or cloak. Such magicpossessionswere sometimes associated with other powers-the shoesthat carrythe wearer great distances in a brief moment, the ringthat couldbe rubbed to summon up a genie, the cap that conferredwisdom, orvision of distant or future events.
In Greek legend, the hero Perseus, who slew the Gorgon, hadmagicshoes that carried him through the air, in addition to a capofinvisibility. In the ancient Sanskrit story bookKathasaritsagara(Ocean of Story) of Somadeva, the BrahminGunarsarman becomesinvisible by putting a magic ointment on hiseyes, and is thus ableto penetrate the camp of KingVikramaskti.
The cloak of invisibility is known in folktales throughoutEurope,and even in the Apache Indian legends of America,whereChild-of-the-Water gets a cloak from Lizard, enabling him togetnear to the monster Buffalo without being seen. InArthurianlegend, the king himself had a cloak of invisibility.
The Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932-36) compiled byStithThompson lists 28 magic ts that confer invisibility, includingastone, flower, serpent"s crown, heart of an unborn child,belt,cloak, saint"s cowl, ring, helmet, sword, and wand. Forexample, itwas long believed that fern seed conferred invisibility,but theseed itself was supposed to be invisible, so anyone whocould findthis seed and carry it would also become invisible. Thefern wassaid to bloom at midnight on Midsummer Eve, and to seedsoon after.The seeker of the seed had to avoid touching it, orletting it fallon the ground. A white cloth had to be placed underthe plant forthe invisible seed to fall on. It could then bewrapped up andcarried around, rendering the owner invisible.Shakespeare, BenJohnson, Beaumont, and Fletcher all have referencesin their playsto fern seed conferring invisibility, and this beliefcontinued infolklore centuries later.
Another persistent folk belief was the power of the "HandofGlory." This was the dried or pickled hand of a deadcriminalhanged on the gallows. Robbers were supposed to beinvisible ifthey carried this gruesome hand with a candle made fromthe fat ofa hanged man. Sometimes the fingers of the hand were usedascandles, and a finger lit for each occupant of the house toberobbed, ensuring that they would remain motionless.
Invisibility in Sorcery and WitchcraftA Manut (No. 2350) titled "Le Secret des Secrets" intheBibliotheque de l"Arsenal in France, contains a chapter devotedtothe secret of invisibility. It consists of a spell in Latin,whichopens with over thirty mystical names, preferably to bewritten inbat"s blood, and continues in a mixture of Christian andpagantradition with an invocation translated as: "O thou,Pontation!master of invisibility, with thy masters here follownames of themasters, I conjure thee, Pontation, and these samemasters ofinvisibility, by Him Who makes the universe tremble, byHeaven andEarth, Cherubim and Seraphim, and by Him Who made theVirginconceive and Who is God and Man, that I may accomplishthisexperiment in perfectibility, in such sort that at any hourIdesire I may be invisible; again I conjure thee and thyministersalso, by Stabuches and Mechaerom, Esey, Enitgiga, Bellis,andSemonei, that thou come straightway with thy said ministersandthat thou perform this work as you all know how, and thatthisexperiment may make me invisible in such wise that no one mayseeme. Amen."
According to other grimoires, invisibility may be achievedbysimply carrying the heart of a bat, a black hen, or a frogunderthe center arm.
Another method is to construct and wear the Ring of Gygès, KingofLydie. It should be made of fixed mercury, set with a littlestonefound in a lapwing"s nest, and around the stone the words"Jésuspassant par le milieu d"eux s"en allat" are inscribed. Avariantinstruction for the Ring of Gygès is contained in thegrimoire LeVéritable Dragon Rouge... plus La Poule Noire (1521),where theintion is in magical symbols.
Scientific Aspects of InvisibilityAside from the fantasies and wish-fulfillment stories offolklore,or the interference with normal visual perception by meansofhypnosis, the possibility of scientific techniques ofinvisibilityhas long been a matter for speculation. There are manyaccounts ofseeing apparitions, but no adequate scientificexplanation of howinvisible forms can become visible, then againvanish. Where dothey come from and where do they go? Ingenioustheories have beenadvanced of intra-atomic space or interlockinguniverses, butoutside the realm of science fiction literature thereis noevidence for extra-dimensional worlds.
Spiritualists claim that phantom forms of the dead may manifestatséances using a subtle substance exuded by the medium in a vapororcloud-like flow, becoming more solid and eventually taking ontheform of a deceased person and having the appearance of alivingindividual as in the case of "Katie King." This substance isknownas ectoplasm, is said to be sensitive to light, and torecoilsuddenly upon the medium if handled roughly. The processofbecoming visible then vanishing again is known asmaterializationand dematerialization. Few today would argue for theexistence ofectoplasm, or materializations. Since such claimedphenomenausually occur in subdued light or darkness, there isopportunityfor fraud, and many cases have been detected. Thereremain a fewreported cases of apparitions appearing indaylight.
Any scientific method of producing invisibility in humanbeingswould involve apparently insuperable difficulties ofinterferencewith the light refracting characteristics of varioustypes of humantissue and organs, and to be fully effective, theindividual wouldneed to be transparent as well as invisible. Unlesstheinvisibility process also applied to inanimate material suchasclothing, the invisible being would be obliged to travel naked,aproblem vividly portrayed in H. G. Wells" science fictionnovellaThe Invisible Man (1897).
