~： Extraordinary: About Paraser

Palather has three appearances in the Harry Potter universe:

first appeared in the sixth chapter of the original book. When Harry boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time to school, he got a chocolate frog picture card about him.

In the 102 official pictures released by Rowling, there is only a short description of Paraser’s pictures. The original text is as follows:

Paracelsuswasa "secretivewizard" aboutwhomlittleisknown

means that Palather is a mysterious wizard, and the world knows very little about him.

appeared for the second time in Chapter 14 of the fifth book of the original book. Pippi often used his bust to hit people high in the sky. (Author: Hehe, bust, you know?)

appeared in the first part of the Fantastic Beasts movie for the third time. When Newt found that Thunderbird was still in his suitcase and did not escape, he said, "Thank you Paraser."

Now talk about the archetype of the character Paraser:

In the real world, Paraser is a real person. Born in Switzerland in 1493, his name was Theophrastus von Hohenheim (Theophrastus von Hohenheim). In his time, he was known as the wizard of alchemy.

He is the son of a German doctor. He has contributed many great researches to medicine throughout his life. For example, the human body needs to achieve a balance of minerals is his theory. But he is also an occultist. For example, he proposed the four-element theory of "Water, Fire, Wind and Earth".

Later, he was expelled from Germany for conducting extensive experiments on a large number of corpses, because in the environment at the time, studying the corpses was regarded as "Necromancy" (Necromancy).

After leaving Germany, he traveled everywhere, and finally mixed with a large number of Arab wizards and priests in Turkey to learn witchcraft and wrote a lot of books on magic. Therefore, his identity as a scientist and medical scientist has been questioned, and he is laughed at as a "pseudo scientist" by the scientific community.

Some readers who watch Japanese anime may be familiar with his last name.

Yes, his legend has flowed into the Japanese animation world long ago.

"Fullmetal Alchemist"

The two protagonists and their father are named Hornheim.

I delved into necromantic magic, refining the human body, and sacrificing living people to make the sage stone, more or less based on the legendary life of Palather.
