“马尔福春联”中国爆火，引发BBC关注|中国|斯莱特林|汤姆_费尔顿|马尔福春联

近日，《哈利·波特》系列中的反派角色马尔福在中国社交媒体上意外“翻红”。这一现象引发了包括BBC在内的外媒关注。2月4日，BBC报道称，“今年，一位意想不到的春节吉祥物在中国走红。”

很难想象，《哈利·波特》里那个高冷、傲娇、嘴角永远挂着一抹意味深长笑容的斯莱特林少爷，竟然被中国网友贴在家门口，当成春节装饰。

An unlikely Chinese New Year mascot has popped up in China this year — Draco Malfoy.

Tom Felton is best known for his role in the

Harry Potter

series, but now, the actor is also making an appearance in some Chinese houses, with e-commerce sites selling festive decor prominently featuring his face.

临近农历新年，不少人开始置办年货、张贴春联和“福”字。有眼尖的网友发现：马尔福的名字，不但自带“马”，还自带“福”，简直精准踩中马年的所有吉利元素。

His sudden popularity is thanks to his Chinese translation of his name Malfoy — Ma Er Fu, which contains the words for "horse" and "fortune" — ringing especially auspicious for the upcoming Year of the Horse.

社交媒体上，不少网友晒出自己的创意：有人将马尔福春联贴在工位上，有人则在家门口贴上印着他邪魅笑容的春联。

BBC报道中还提到，许多中国网友开始分享马尔福的图片，有网友配文称：“转发这张图，接好运。”

淘宝等电商平台的商家也迅速跟进这一热潮，推出了多款马尔福主题的春联、冰箱贴等周边商品。

On Chinese social media, pictures show some users sticking couplets or upside down pictures of Malfoy's signature smirk.

Merchants on e-commerce site Taobao are also seizing on the trend, coming up with stickers and magnets featuring the Harry Potter character.

Others began sharing photos of the character, saying: "Share this image for good fortune."

据BBC报道，这股热潮甚至“惊动”了马尔福的饰演者汤姆·费尔顿本人。他在社交平台上转发了相关内容，调侃自己的角色成了“中国春节的吉祥物”。

The Malfoy-themed Chinese New Year decor has even caught the eye of actor Felton, who reshared an Instagram story about his character becoming a "symbol of Chinese New Year in China".
