Chapter 96: The Wizarding World with a Precarious Education Level

At ten o'clock the next morning, the Hogwarts 1991-1992 Quidditch Cup Finals officially began at the Quidditch pitch near the castle. The competition was between Ravenclaw and, yes, Gryffindor.

After Wright said to Chang Chu last night that there would be a finals today, he never understood why the Gryffindor Quidditch House team, the loser of the first game, could continue to advance to today's game. in the finals.

However, there are still highlights in this game.

Harry, who has not suffered the impact of Voldemort's soul. In fact, he has not even seen Voldemort's face. He did not lie in the school infirmary and was in a coma for three days. In other words, he can serve as the Gryffindor team's seeker. Hands play normally.

The standard of the Ravenclaw house team can still be ranked among the top four among the four houses of Hogwarts. As a seeker, Chang Chu and his opponent Harry only entered the house team this semester. , but Chang Chu seemed to be still worried about losing to Harry in Professor Flitwick a few days ago, and he was already interested in today's game.

In addition, everyone has now finished the final exam, and the tense exam preparation atmosphere in the entire school has been completely washed away the moment the exam ends. At least before the results were announced, everyone was in a happy mood. The sudden appearance of the Quidditch Cup Finals at this time could cater to everyone's needs.

With the whistle of Mrs. Huo Qi, the finals officially began, and the well-known campus host Li Qiaodan also officially started his performance.

Frankly speaking, Roger is really a very good chaser. He took the Quaffle from two other chasers in the house team more than once, and then broke through the Gryffindor team's goalkeeper. Their captain Wood's defense finally threw the ball into the knocker.

The twins' flying skateboarding god cult has ceased for a while, and the two of them are currently riding the school's broomsticks in the sky. Because Fred and George discovered that although the flying skateboard was highly playable and popular among students, its competitiveness was never as competitive as the time-tested flying broomstick.

However, Wright felt that the reason why they did not use flying skateboards in this game was just because the speed of the skateboards was really not as fast as that of brooms. This made them unable to protect other players on their team well, which was very important for batting. It is really a very fatal flaw in terms of hands.

Angelina Johnson also performed very well in this game, but she was still far behind Roger. Wright could finally understand why Roger could become the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team three years later.

Just when the Ravenclaw team always maintained a relatively safe lead, Chang Chu finally won the second duel with Harry, successfully snatching the Golden Snitch and ending the game.

The Ravenclaw team finally succeeded in winning the Quidditch Cup Championship this year, and the entire stadium was cheering for the Ravenclaw team.

Wright spent what seemed to him a rather boring two hours yawning in a corner of the stand where there were relatively few students.

Wright had never been a fan of Quidditch because it relied too much on luck to end the game. And according to written records, the longest Quidditch match even lasted more than three months.

But looking at Chang Chu flying and screaming in the sky, what else can Wright say? All he could do was shout and slap his hands louder.

A few days later, the professors announced the results of the final exam.

Wright was not surprised to see his name ranked first in the second grade. It is worth mentioning that this year, Chang Chu also ranked among the top ten in his grade. In addition, the number one in the first grade was undoubtedly Hermione, while Harry and Ron's grades could at least be considered excellent.

However, after seeing the results of Harry and Ron, Wright suddenly thought of another issue that seemed to be more noteworthy, and that was the education level of the British wizarding community.

Judging from the previous generation, the two best wizards in the world came from Europe, namely Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

And in the previous generation, there was no doubt that it was Voldemort, and there was no one in his generation who could compete with him.

And moving forward to the previous generation, that is, the parent generation, the only one in the entire generation who can be considered a top scientific researcher is Snape. Maybe there was a Lily Potter too, but she was dead. The others were basically just battle wizards with a head full of muscles, and most of them died from injuries.

Finally came the Wright generation.

If Wright had not appeared, then seven years later, although Harry had successfully killed Voldemort with the help of his friends, and destroyed all of Voldemort's Horcruxes. But by that time, the talent gap in the British wizarding world had become extremely dire.

Even among Harry's generation, although Harry and Hermione seem to be the most dazzling, if you really want to choose one of them to assume the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts, it seems that It is still a very difficult thing, not to mention other students.

In this case, Grindelwald's speech that Wright heard in his first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class is worth pondering.

The so-called "International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy" is really used to protect wizards, not Muggles!

Although wizards can use wands and magic to move through space, travel through time, increase or decrease luck, and even break the distance between life and death, the limitation of total population keeps them in a position that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.

Before entering the school, Wright had not felt this way, but in the past two years at the school, he also discovered a method that could be used to deduce the approximate population data of the entire wizarding world.

The total number of students in Hogwarts is about 1,000, and there will be some fluctuations every year, but it is very subtle. So on average, there will be about 140 students in each grade.

If nothing else, all British wizards should study at Hogwarts. Even young wizards from poor families are provided with certain student subsidies to enable them to receive education.

In other words, the number of children with magical qualifications born in the British wizarding world every year, including those born in the world of ordinary people, is about 140.

In addition, although the physique and lifespan of wizards are better than ordinary people, even if their life expectancy is set to 100 years old, and there is no unnatural death, the total population of the British wizarding world should be 12,000 to about 15,000 people.

Finally, if the total social population of the British wizarding community is 15,000 people, and the current total population of the UK is about 62 million, then the population ratio of British wizards to ordinary people is about 4,000 to 1.

In other words, the total population of wizards in the world should be between 1.6 million and 1.7 million.

Sure enough, the International Statute of Secrecy is used to protect wizards!

Especially in the past two hundred years, the technological level of ordinary people has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the concealment methods of wizards have become even more dangerous. This is why the magic circles of various countries have paid more and more attention to the importance of secrecy laws in the past few decades.
