→‎Greater Picture: Felix Felicis in Connections section; plus grammar improvements and sidelight to Lockhart
Dòng 42:
In the book's British and Canadian versions, Snape's wording in the scene mentioned above, "and even stopper death," is somewhat ambiguous; some readers have suggested that it means placing death in a bottle. This seems overly simplistic, as poisons are so common, both in the Muggle and Wizarding worlds, that they hardly merit mention. The more likely meaning is to prevent Death from acting, stoppering it inside a bottle. In the US / Scholastic version of the books, this phrase appears instead as "and even put a stopper to death." As we learn later in the series, the US version of Snape's speech is better aligned with his actual meaning, though many editors feel that the original British wording is more elegant.
 
We briefly look back to the other two draughts that Snape mentions among the top achievements of Potioneering: a fame-potion does not appear to be mentioned in the series again (unless, perhaps, that is one of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gilderoy Lockhart|Gilderoy Lockhart's]] unmentioned skills), but bottled fortune is an obvious reference to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Felix Felicis|Felix Felicis]], which again will play an important role in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|the sixth book]]. One may wonder whether the author took her own hint from the first book, or consciously put bottled fortune in therethis scene, already knowing she would actually useneed it later.
 
Harry and Ron constantly getting lost shows the castle's magical qualities and its overall enormity. Hogwarts harbors countless secrets, many that become important later in the series. Because the castle is so confusing, Harry, Ron, Neville, and Hermione will later end up in the third floor corridor; escaping Filch, they enter that corridor by accident, and will thereby learn something very important to the overall story.

===Connections===
One episode in this chapter is particularly heavily freighted with connections going forward in the series. Harry's first Potions lesson contains the following statements by Snape:
* "... bottle fortune..." This would seem to be a reference to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Felix Felicis|Felix Felicis, the "liquid luck" potion]]. This potion is introduced in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 9|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], and is used several times in that book: [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 14|to trick Ron]] into goaltending well in Quidditch, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 22|to give Harry the luck he needs]] to get a vital memory from Professor Slughorn, and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 25|to assist]] members of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]] in defending the castle from an expected [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eater]] attack.
* "... and even stopper death." This likely refers to the potion that Snape will use to preserve Professor Dumbledore's life when he runs afoul of the curse in the ring [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]] (revealed in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']]).
* "... the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Draught of Living Death|Draught of Living Death]]." Preparation of this potion appears in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 9|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], where it is used as a device to show the superiority of the marginal notes in the textbook Harry is using over the standard text. While the UK / Canadian version of the book does not include this passage, in the US / Scholastic edition, Dumbledore, bargaining with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 27|late in ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], mentions that if Draco wants to hide from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]], it is possible to make him and his entire family seem dead. While the technique is never mentioned, it is quite possible that it includes this potion.
