Harry and Draco Malfoy are almost neck and neck in duel strength. Harry didn't defeat Malfoy until he got Snape's diary. As a result, he almost killed Malfoy in Half-Blood Prince.
哈利和德拉科·马尔福在的决斗实力几乎不分上下。直到哈利拿到了斯内普的日记，他才战胜了马尔福。结果，他在《混血王子》中差点杀了马尔福。
Without Snape's diary and Harry finding out that lethal spell, the fight between the two could have turned out differently. Moreover, Draco was still a little distracted about what he just did before that scene in The Half-Blood Prince.
如果没有斯内普的日记和哈利发现那个致命的咒语，两人之间的战斗可能会完全不同。此外，在《混血王子》的那一幕之前，德拉科仍然有点心烦意乱。
A closer representation of how their duel could have turned out more fairly was in The Chamber of Secrets. In any case, Draco is a capable duelist.
在《密室》中，他们的决斗可以更加公平地进行。无论如何，德拉科是一个有能力的决斗者。
Luna Lovegood is one of the lesser-known prodigies in the Harry Potter books and films. She conjured and learned her first Patronus at the age of 14.
卢娜·洛夫古德是《哈利·波特》系列丛书和电影中不太为人所知的天才之一。她在14岁的时候第一次学会了召唤她的守护神。
Of course, Harry did learn the Patronus back at just 13, but to be fair, he had a better teacher and more hands-on training. Additionally, Lovegood has competed in duels at the age of 15.
当然，哈利在13岁的时候就学会了守护神，但公平地说，他有一个更好的老师，也接受了更多的实践训练。此外，洛夫古德在15岁时就参加过决斗。
Her participation at the battle of Hogwarts and easily held her own against Death Eaters. It's safe to assume that she could have been a match against Harry had they been the same age, Harry is older by only a year. Even so, Luna mostly prefers to be in peace rather than show her skills.
她参加了霍格沃茨的战斗，轻松地战胜了食死徒。可以肯定的是，如果他们年龄相同，她是哈利的对手，哈利只比她大一岁。即便如此，卢娜还是更喜欢平静而不是展示她的技能。
