Silvanus Kettleburn was the Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts until Harry’s third year, when he was replaced by Rubeus Hagrid.
焦壺是一位熱情而有時魯莽過頭的人,他非常喜愛他邊研究邊照顧、通常很危險的生物,這導致他,偶爾還有別人,都曾遭受嚴重的傷害。這種傾向使他在學校任教時至少經歷了六十二段的留校查看期(仍為目前最高紀錄)。就如在他之後的海格,他經常低估了照顧像是兩腳蛇、滾帶落和火螃蟹等生物的風險,而最著名一次還因為使用了一條施過法的火灰蛇來飾演「幸運泉」之中的蟲,導致學校餐廳失火。
Kettleburn was an enthusiastic and occasionally reckless man whose great love of the often dangerous creatures he studied and looked after led to serious injuries to himself and, occasionally, others. This fact led to no fewer than sixty-two periods of probation during his time of employment at the school (a record that still stands). Like Hagrid after him, he was prone to underestimating the risks involved in caring for creatures such as Occamys, Grindylows and Fire Crabs, and once famously caused the Great Hall to catch fire after enchanting an Ashwinder to play the Worm in a play of ‘The Fountain of Fair Fortune’.
焦壺是一位令人喜愛而或許古怪的人,而他在學校持續的受到聘任即為其他教職員和學生對他強烈喜愛的證據。他完結教職的時候只剩下一條手臂和半條腿。阿不思‧鄧不利多在他退休時贈送了一整套的魔法木頭四肢給他。這項禮物後來必須經常的被替換,因為焦壺在他的空閒時間拜訪龍的保護區的習慣代表他的義肢常常著火。
Kettleburn was a loveable if eccentric man and his continuing employment at the school was evidence of the great affection in which staff and students held him. He finished his career with only one arm and half a leg. Albus Dumbledore presented him with a full set of enchanted wooden limbs on his retirement, a gift that had to be replaced regularly since, because Kettleburn’s habit of visiting dragon sanctuaries in his spare time meant that his prosthetics were frequently set on fire.
焦壺退休後住在活米村養老,但因為他的身體虛弱,無法參與霍格華茲大戰。他依然致力要參與這場大戰,因此爬上他家的閣樓,從天窗朝著經過的食死人丟出他全部存貨的黏巴蟲。雖然說此舉可能對於大戰的結果沒有太大的影響,大家還是普遍都認為他展現出最正確的抗戰精神。
Kettleburn retired to Hogsmeade but was unable, due to his physical infirmities, to take part in the Battle of Hogwarts. Determined to play his part, he clambered into his attic and threw his entire stock of Flobberworms out of the skylight at passing Death Eaters. While this may not have had much effect on the outcome of the battle, it was generally felt to show the right spirit.
