原创 编者按/精读指导(B)： Lesson 43选自英文版 Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix第37章第762页，在本课中邓布利多教授给哈利解释他没有亲自给邓布利多教授上大脑封闭术的真正的原因。在第24章中，哈利的教父也就这个问题向斯内普发难，斯内普当时这样回答：“I suppose because it is headmaster’s privilege to delegate less enjoyable tasks (2014e, 480)”；在本课邓布利多校长给出真正的理由：“if he realised that our relationship was – or had ever been – closer than of headmaster and a pupil, he would seize his chance to use you as a means to spy on me (2014e, 762)”。
本课学习需要注意 wash over‘周围发生的事情对···无多大影响’这个固定短语，与汉语中‘当作耳旁风’很近似： “Harry was letting the words wash over him (2014e, 762)”。
到本课为止，我们已经完成了《哈利波特与凤凰社》43课的精读学习，大部分同学已经完成了原著 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 的泛读，这次我们是按照每页一课进度来学习，我们把每页的第一句话作为每课的题目，不论这句话是否为完整的一句，大家参看“43课的目录”附录。

《哈利波特》精读系类之编者按/精读指导(A)：成人英语学习应该有更多的主动性，在高中英语的基础上，应该尽快进入英语原著和英文报纸的阅读，这样才能尽快的提升英语水平。因为英语原著和英语报纸，不同于中学的考试，其中的内容都是英语的实际应用。我会和朋友们一起分享英语原著《哈利波特》7册的内容和中国日报(China Daily)上面的英文报道。我们本着共享的理念，以“雅思6.5及之上的考生英语阅读水平”来编辑《哈利波特英语词典》，其中也会收录中学英语课本的一些单词。用《哈利波特英语词典》里面收录的单词来为《中国日报》等阅读文章做单词表。我们会认真精讲7册《哈利波特》中每一页，制出相对对应的单词表。
就我们初级英语课程而言，我们目前有两个工作目标：一是编写《哈利波特英语词典》，单词收录量为2到3万；二是编写《博雅英语阅读文库·中国日报1000篇》。我们有三级英语课程，初级英语课程为《哈利波特》7册的内容和中国日报(China Daily) 、《乔布斯传》、《马斯克传》等英语原著，以训练学生流畅地阅读英语小说、英语报刊杂志和按照英语习惯顺畅地写作为目标；中级英语课程为英语学术训练，能流畅地阅读英语学术著作，如 A New History of Western Philosophy，并能够书写规范的学术论文；高级英语课程是以了解通过英语来学习文化，学习莎士比亚等英美名家著作、英文版的《圣经》、《易经》等等，目的是更加深入地了解英语背后的文明和中华文明等，让英语学习不仅仅止于语言，要上升到文明的角度来学习英语和用英语来学习。我们认可这样的理念“语言和宗教是定义一个文明的核心标志”。我们的课程有三个立足点，一、高中毕业的英语水平；二、有学习的主动性；三、雅思最低成绩6.5。
