Progress in the world never comes naturally. If everyone just wants to enjoy the benefits of progress without fighting, then where will progress come from?
……
July, London.
In a movie theater located in the city center, the characters on the screen came and went with wonderful flashes of light, causing the audience to exclaim.
But for the young man sitting in the center, this scene is not as noteworthy as the popcorn in his hand.
"Kazi Kazi."
After grabbing a handful of popcorn and putting it in his mouth, Tver suddenly frowned, not sure whether it was because of the movie or the popcorn he had just eaten.
"I remember there was a wizard to help guide me, right? Why are the battle scenes still... rigid?"
Cynthia rolled her eyes angrily. Time has not left any trace on them, but it has not changed Tver's habit of eating snacks either!
"A wizard is a wizard. No matter how much guidance there is, the actors can't really use magic to fight!"
Tver nodded in understanding.
Wizards themselves have been out of touch with technological society for a long time. In addition, most wizards have a somewhat upright personality, making it difficult to play roles that are different from themselves.
Therefore, even if 19 years have passed and the new generation has not yet emerged, naturally no wizards can participate in such professional filming.
Except Lockhart...
"Wait, why is Lockhart in this movie?!"
Tweel looked at Lockhart on the curtain in surprise. He was obviously just an unknown character, but he still did not forget to show his handsome side.
If it is the "Harry Potter" series that has been completed, then Twill can understand it. After all, Lockhart is very popular.
But the problem is, this is the second work in the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series!
Cynthia did not speak, but motioned to Tver to pay attention to the audience's reaction.
"Is this Lockhart? I haven't seen him in a movie for a long time!" An aunt nearby excitedly grabbed her husband's hand.
Lockhart only appeared in the movie for a few seconds. Even though the Auror he played was instantly burned to ashes by Grindelwald's flames, it still aroused even more violent cheers in the movie.
Second only to the wonderful special effects shot of the fire shield in the movie...
"..."
Tver silently grabbed another handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth.
Even he has to admit that Lockhart has now become the most popular wizard in the world!
Of course, the main reason was that Tweel took the initiative to retreat behind the scenes and became a legendary figure like Dumbledore. Other wizards had no intention of competing for such an illusory thing as fame.
On the other hand, Lockhart is really suitable to be a star!
As long as he restrains his arrogant side, he will be a 360-degree high-quality idol. He even values maintaining his personal image more than his life...well, it should be the next best thing to his life.
Therefore, Tver was happy to let him debut as an idol to maintain the wizard's image in this world.
You know, in the years after the Secrecy Act was abolished, there were frequent incidents around the world of wizards deliberately using magic to trick ordinary people.
It doesn't matter if it's just a simple prank, some are so bad that they destroy many buildings and kill many ordinary people inside.
These incidents have had a very bad impact on the image of wizards and directly promoted anti-wizard groups advocating terrorism.
But fortunately, under the double blow of various governments and the Ministry of Magic, these groups have been unable to achieve anything.
With the development of technology, advancement of magical laws and severe crackdowns by Aurors, wizards have gradually reduced such pranks.
After all, not every wizard is willing to be punished with a wizard bracelet that can limit evil thoughts just for temporary joy.
All in all, there was indeed a lot of chaos and conflict at the beginning, but after tasting the sweetness that magic and technology brought to both parties, the trend of the integration of magic and technology around the world became unstoppable!
Tver, who was reminiscing about the past, suddenly felt someone touching him. He turned around and found that the movie had finished playing at Cynthia's signal.
“Aren’t you satisfied with the effect of the movie?”
"Not really." Tver shook his head and stood up with Cynthia.
Although he has not seen the original movie, the plot of this movie is still very exciting.
The most important thing is that the plot is entirely provided by Newt himself, the president of the World Society for the Protection of Magical Creatures. Some things he doesn't know are also supplemented by the famous mother of "Harry Potter" - Joanne Rowling.
Although it is strange, Turville has to admit that Joanne's polishing work on "Harry Potter" has made this great work reach a peak far beyond expectations.
Especially now that the wizarding world is being exposed and many storylines are being unearthed by curious readers as well.
Therefore, Tver did not pursue her plan to secretly write a fan work about herself.
"Let's go, they are probably already waiting for us."
Tver pulled the helpless Cynthia and disappeared instantly, not caring at all that he was the one who was the most troublesome.
But they didn't expect that when the two of them showed up at the appointed restaurant, the only person who came out to greet them was the restaurant owner and chef, Ron Weasley!
Ron had grown a bit of a beard on himself, and paired with his strong body, he looked quite muscular and rugged.
Of course, no one would consider the man who opened a top chain of restaurants around the world to be a rude figure.
"Everyone's work is not easy. We probably have to wait a while before we can come." Ron looked at the time and found that it was actually earlier than the scheduled time.
However, Tver, who has always only had others waiting for him, now actually tastes the feeling of waiting for others? !
Seeing Tver's strange expression, Ron was not at all timid when facing the professor before. Instead, he boldly joked: "Only the professor is so free and has time to watch movies."
Tver waved his hand indifferently.
"What I call enjoying life, you young people don't understand."
When the Law of Secrecy was overturned, he had indeed been busy for the wizarding world for a long time, and even replaced Babajide as the president of the Wizards' Federation.
But after everything was on track, he simply passed the blame to Malvolio and lived a leisurely and comfortable life.
Ron looked at Tver's still young appearance and compared it with his prematurely bald head. No one believed him even if he said he was a student!
"professor!"
Suddenly, an excited voice sounded behind him, and Tver looked back.
Hermione, Harry, Draco, Neville, the Weasley twins, Luna, Percy, Cedric, Fleur, Viktor and many other students stood behind her, but Cynthia didn't know When I stood with them, there was a huge exquisite cake on the cart in front of me.
"surprise!"
Looking at this scene, Tver instantly understood that they had prepared a surprise for him, a birthday surprise.
"I'm telling you, no matter how busy you are, you don't dare to ask me to wait for you." Tver shook his head with a smile.
Ron frowned.
There are world-class military industry giants, the chairman of the Wizarding Business Alliance, senior officials of the Wizarding Federation, well-known herbalism experts, etc., and even Hermione, a strong woman who is running for the British Prime Minister.
If ordinary people were in front of them, they probably wouldn't be able to speak.
But if the speaker is Professor Welfare...
"Don't be stunned," Ron enthusiastically pulled Tver over, "Everyone is still waiting to eat the cake!"
Seeing everyone with excited faces, Tver reluctantly accepted their kindness and cut a large piece of cake.
There were a lot of students coming, but there was no shortage of food in Ron's restaurant. Soon, everyone was tasting cakes and delicacies, and after chatting briefly for a while, the strange feeling of not seeing each other for many years suddenly disappeared.
"I didn't expect that none of you actually participated in the "Harry Potter" movie, leaving me alone on the set stupidly, being questioned by the crew all day long!" Harry complained loudly. With.
When the "Harry Potter" movie series was launched, the producers invited all the prototype characters to join the crew, but in the end only Harry accepted it excitedly!
Of course, he only played his current role in the movie - an Auror.
"You have the nerve to say it."
Speaking of this "Harry Potter" series, Draco became even more angry.
"I'm not as annoying as the book describes me. Now the whole world thinks I'm a school bully who only bullies Harry. If the professor hadn't said it was necessary for the plot, I would have given Rowling the Imperius Curse. !”
"Ahem, please pay attention to your behavior, Mr. Malfoy, this kind of intimidation is not allowed." Hermione said seriously.
But within two seconds, she started to giggle herself.
"Speaking of this, I wonder if you have watched the recently released "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"? I just now know that Principal Dumbledore and Mr. Grindelwald actually have such an ambiguous past!"
Facing her former friends, Hermione rarely let go of her usual serious look, let out the gossip that she had been holding back for a long time, and chatted happily with her friends who were also suppressing her.
Looking at this scene, Tver felt that the cake in his hand was much more delicious.
Their strength may not reach the top level, but the influence they exert in their respective fields may not be weaker than that of Bitwell.
To a certain extent, in the future, what wizards need is more wizards like this to be deeply involved in the politics, economy, and culture of this world.
To this extent, the wizard is truly integrated into the world.
"It's broken!" Cynthia suddenly hit her head in frustration, "We seem to have forgotten to let you make a wish!"
"Make a wish?" Tver was stunned for a moment, then showed a satisfied smile.
"My wish has come true."
