If you are aware of an incident that occurred a few days ago in a certain city in southwestern China, it might not be difficult to understand the deeper meaning behind it. Without prior knowledge, you can simply treat it as a joke.

In the unpublished eighth collection of "Harry Potter," Headmaster Dumbledore faces an unprecedented dilemma:

For many years, the name "Voldemort" has been a taboo, and no wizard or student at the magic school is allowed to mention it. What enraged Headmaster Dumbledore and many professors was that Harry Potter and his two friends directly printed this name in the current issue of the school newspaper "The Moving Broom" they were editing. Harry Potter said he didn't know what special meaning these three characters had, so when a student's article mentioned this name, he made no changes and sent it straight to print.

Enraged, Headmaster Dumbledore wanted to punish Harry Potter. At this point, Hermione stepped in and said:

"Respected Headmaster Dumbledore, if 'Voldemort' was a taboo many years ago and everyone followed it well, then Harry should not have known this name. If Harry didn't know this name, then there is nothing strange about him treating it as any ordinary wizard's name. Harry's mistake actually shows that he is a good student; he adhered to the taboo and did not acquire forbidden knowledge. On the other hand, if Harry Potter had removed this name from the original text, it would only mean that he had already violated the taboo and gained knowledge about this name. So, Headmaster, are you now going to punish Harry Potter for being a good student?"

The great Headmaster Dumbledore was thus left speechless, unable to make any decision.
