The funniest Hogwarts pranks: ranked

霍格沃兹最有意思的恶作剧排名

翻译：Cahchia

 

Fred & George Weasley, Peeves, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, Lee Jordan, Hagrid and even Malfoy, all made it onto this list of Hogwarts pranksters. But what was the funniest prank of all time?

弗雷德和乔治·韦斯莱、皮皮鬼、金妮·韦斯莱、赫敏·格兰杰、李·乔丹、海格，甚至马尔福都上了霍格沃茨恶作剧者的名单。但是最好笑的恶作剧是什么呢?

 

10. Custard cream confusion

奶油冰淇淋的困惑

Coming in at number ten, it’s that time Fred and George “forgot” that they’d hexed the custard creams and made them into their signature Canary Creams. Poor Neville turned into a large canary, moulted and then joined in laughing with everyone else. Canary Creams: only seven Sickles each – a bargain of a prank!

排在第十位的是弗雷德和乔治，他们“忘记”自己已经把奶油蛋羹做成了他们的招牌金丝雀奶油。可怜的纳威变成了一只大金丝雀，换了毛，然后和大家一起大笑。金丝雀奶油:每个只有七个银西可——恶作剧的交易!

 

9. The duplicitous duel

表里不一的决斗

Now, we know Harry, Ron and Hermione didn’t find this prank particularly funny, but we can’t be biased against Malfoy’s pranking ability, just because he was in Slytherin now, can we? At number nine, it’s the time Malfoy managed to convince Harry and Ron that he and Crabbe would meet them in the trophy room at midnight for a duel. Harry and Ron definitely became less gullible as the years went on, or was it more that they became best friends with Hermione? Hmm…

现在，我们知道哈利、罗恩和赫敏并不觉得这个恶作剧特别好笑，但我们不能因为马尔福现在在斯莱特林就对他的恶作剧能力抱有偏见对吧? 九号那天，马尔福说服了哈利和罗恩，他和克拉布将在午夜的奖品陈列室里举行决斗。随着时间的流逝，哈利和罗恩不再那么容易上当受骗了，还是他们和赫敏成了最好的朋友? emmm…

 

8. A chocolate cake conspiracy

一个巧克力蛋糕阴谋

At number eight is the time Hermione Granger filled two chocolate cakes with ‘a simple Sleeping Draught’ to knock out Crabbe and Goyle. Harry and Ron needed their hair for the Polyjuice Potion that would allow the trio to investigate whether Malfoy was the heir of Slytherin. Okay, so Hermione wasn’t necessarily doing it for a laugh but we have to admit, using food as bait for the greedy duo made us chuckle.
第八名是赫敏·格兰杰在两个巧克力蛋糕里装了“简单的安眠药”，用来击倒克拉布和高尔。哈利和罗恩需要用他们的头发来配制复方汤剂，好让他们三人去调查马尔福是不是斯莱特林的继承人。好吧，赫敏这么做不一定是为了搞笑，但我们必须承认，用食物作为诱饵引诱这两个贪婪的家伙让我们咯咯笑了起来。

 

7. Naughty Nifflers

淘气的嗅嗅

Coming in at number seven is Lee Jordan and his hilarious prank on Professor Umbridge. After Fred and George’s departure from Hogwarts, they apparently left him a couple of Nifflers. Inspired by his absent friends and general hatred for Umbridge, Lee decided to levitate them ‘in through her window’. Just imagine how much chaos those Nifflers caused… Well done, Lee Jordan. Well done, indeed!

排名第七的是李·乔丹和他对乌姆里奇教授的滑稽恶作剧。弗雷德和乔治离开霍格沃茨后，显然给他留下了几个嗅嗅。受到不在身边的朋友的启发和大家都讨厌乌姆里奇的特性，李决定让他们“从她的窗口进来”。想象一下那些嗅嗅造成了多大的混乱……干得好，李·乔丹。做得好,的确!

 

6. Signed photograph silliness

搞笑的签名照片

Hagrid sneaks into our top six, with the time he pranked Harry over signed photographs. After a mix-up involving Colin Creevey’s camera, Malfoy, and Lockhart, there was some confusion over whether Harry was or wasn’t giving out signed photographs of himself. Hagrid joined in with the joke when he teased Harry: ‘gotta bone ter pick with yeh. I’ve heard you’ve bin givin’ out signed photos. How come I haven’t got one?’ Hagrid was only pulling his leg, but it made Harry furious!

当海格在签名照片上捉弄哈利时，他溜进了我们的前六名。科林·克里维的照相机、马尔福和洛哈特搞混了之后，大家都搞不清哈利是不是在分发自己的签名照。当海格取笑哈利时，他也加入了这个笑话:“我得跟你算账。我听说你已经把签名照给别人了。为什么我没有呢?“海格只是在开他的玩笑，但这让哈利很生气!

 

5. The swamp that stuck around

周围的沼泽

At number five, it’s Fred and George Weasley with that time they turned a fifth-floor corridor at Hogwarts into a swamp. And then when they made their firework-filled exit from school, they left no instructions on how to get rid of it, which infuriated Professor Umbridge no end. Even better, this swamp had an official name: a Portable Swamp, which you could buy at Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. Fred and George really knew how to spread the prankster love. 

排在第五的是弗雷德和乔治韦斯莱，他们把霍格沃茨五楼的走廊变成了沼泽。当他们带着烟火离开学校的时候，他们没有留下任何关于如何摆脱它的指示，这激怒了乌姆里奇教授。更妙的是，这片沼泽还有一个正式的名字:可移动的沼泽，你可以在韦斯莱魔法学校买到。弗雷德和乔治真的知道如何传播恶作剧者的爱。

 

4. The tall-tale of a tattoo

纹身的传说

Swooping into number four is Ginny’s prank on Romilda Vane. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Romilda asked Ginny whether it was true that Harry had a Hippogriff tattooed across his chest. Ginny’s response? She told Romilda it was a Hungarian Horntail. And even better? She said Ron had a Pygmy Puff. Ginny Weasley – queen of the witty comeback.

冲进四号是金妮对罗米达·万尼的恶作剧。在《哈利·波特与混血王子》中，罗米达问金妮哈利胸前纹了一只鹰头马身有翼兽是不是真的。金妮的反应?她告诉罗米达那是一只匈牙利树蜂。甚至更好?她说罗恩有一个侏儒蒲。金妮·韦斯莱——机智的女王。

 

3. Exit, pursued by a poltergeist

出口，被一个爱恶作剧的人追赶

Peeves the poltergeist was always going to make it onto this list, and we reckon this prank very much deserves its place in the top three. This is the time when Umbridge tried to make a quiet exit from Hogwarts after her horrifying reign. Instead of letting her sneak off, Peeves ‘chased her gleefully from the premises whacking her alternately with a walking stick and a sock full of chalk’. And the best thing? The walking stick belonged to Professor McGonagall and she seemed completely fine about Peeves borrowing it…

皮皮鬼这个捣蛋鬼总是会出现在这个名单上，我们认为这个恶作剧应该排在前三名。这是乌姆里奇在她可怕的统治结束后试图安静地离开霍格沃茨的时候。皮皮鬼没有让她溜走，而是“兴高采烈地追着她离开，用一根手杖和一只装满粉笔的袜子交替地打她”。最棒的是什么?手杖是麦格教授的，她对于借给皮皮鬼似乎完全没有意见……

 

2. The longest tongue twister

最长的“绕口令”

Let’s be honest, Fred and George Weasley weren’t going to let the opportunity of visiting Privet Drive pass without pranking Dudley Dursley. In second place is the time the twins “accidentally” dropped one of their Ton-Tongue Toffees on the floor at the Dursleys, and Dudley’s tongue grew to four-foot long before Arthur Weasley was able to shrink it. Arthur was very angry with his sons, but we can’t help but see their side – Dudley probably did deserve it.

说实话，弗雷德和乔治·韦斯莱不会放过参观女贞路的机会而不去捉弄达力·德思礼的。排在第二位的是双胞胎“不小心”把他们的舌头太妃糖掉在了德思礼家的地板上，达力的舌头长到四英尺长，亚瑟韦斯莱才把它缩小。亚瑟对他的儿子们非常生气，但我们不得不看到他们的一面——达力可能确实应该受到惩罚。

 

1. Going out with a bang

1、砰的一声出去了

And the number one spot goes to none other than the Weasley twins, for one of the most elaborate and explosive pranks ever to grace the halls of Hogwarts. Fred and George’s Wildfire Whiz-bangs included dragons soaring up and down the corridors, shocking-pink Catherine wheels, rockets, exploding firecrackers and of course that wonderful self-writing sparkler ‘resolutely spelling out the word ‘POO’. But it wasn’t just that the fireworks were magnificently disruptive – whenever Umbridge tried to get rid of them, it would make things worse. Ingenious. Wizard hats off to the prankster kings!

排名第一的不是别人，正是韦斯莱孪生兄弟，这是霍格沃茨有史以来最精心策划、最具爆炸性的恶作剧之一。弗雷德和乔治的野火呼啸声包括火龙在走廊里飞来飞去，粉红色的凯瑟琳车轮车，火箭，爆炸的爆竹，当然还有那个绝妙的自我写作火花，“坚定地拼出”“便便”这个词。但这并不只是因为烟火会造成巨大的破坏——每当乌姆里奇想要摆脱它们的时候，事情就会变得更糟。太巧妙了！向爱恶作剧的国王致敬!
