Chapter 421 The Gate to the New World (Please Vote for Me! Please Subscribe!)
The same scene doesn't just happen to the Weasley family.
For every family in the wizarding world, this Monday morning is a particularly delicious start.
The devilish copywriting originated from the "tip of the tongue", coupled with the food animations carefully selected by Elena and others, the "toxicity" that can burst out in this hungry morning is terrifying.
You know, in most British families, reading newspapers and magazines while eating breakfast is a living habit that is almost ingrained in everyone's bones. This is like the Oriental Sichuan cuisine chefs who always grease the pot with a wide oil before cooking. ——Although there are no explicit regulations, but without this link, it always feels like a soul is missing.
The time now is still at the end of the 20th century. Even in the non-magical world, Internet technology has just emerged, and the speed of information dissemination is far less than that of the information explosion period a few decades later.
Of course, the British region at this time was still one of the world-recognized food deserts.
Eggs Benedict, golden cheese potato balls, mellow butter fries, Hungarian organ potatoes, Caesar salad, mushroom soup, spinach in cream, strawberry mousse, fried cod, smoked salmon...
The main content of this issue of "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" is breakfast. In order to take these dozen or so brightly colored photos that make people full of appetite at a glance, Elena and others spent almost a whole week. time.
And these are just part of the breakfast contents for the four houses of Hogwarts during the week.
But even if there are only about ten kinds of dishes, in Elena's opinion, it is enough to instantly break the psychological bottom line of those office workers in the magic world who can only chew cold sandwiches and chew boring cereal.
Not to mention, considering that some wizarding families may receive the magazine late, Elena has also thoughtfully added an extra page of this week’s Hogwarts star dinner dishes at the end of this breakfast special. .
Like... the magic seared veal from the Hogwarts kitchen this week.
Compared with the common charcoal grilling method, the entire cooking process of this batch of veal comes from magic flames, and there is no trace of smoke or charcoal flavor in the meat.
The suspension magic cleverly allows each piece of veal to be heated at 360 degrees without any dead ends. Under the magic of the house elves, the fat melted at high temperatures is evenly spread on every inch of the skin, forming a golden allure. The crispy layer locks the delicious gravy inside, without wasting a drop, ensuring that you can feel the richest taste feast with every bite.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
Just like the same Western food with distinct layers, in Elena's plan, the food content displayed in the first issue of "The New Quibbler" is only the most basic appetizer. In the release process of subsequent issues , she will also gradually put more meals and dishes into the magazine.
As for the copywriting, these are actually not the most orthodox "tongue style" nowadays.
After all, pure words are never as impactful as sounds. In Bai Mao Tuanzi's imagination, when will the "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" section be able to achieve the combination of pictures, text, sound, fragrance and taste? It can be regarded as a qualified magical food publication.
However, even this most basic impact on food culture has quickly created a huge sensation in the entire magical world.
For a whole day, from the British Ministry of Magic to London's Diagon Alley, from the Quidditch training ground in Dorset to the Black Dragon Sanctuary in the Hebrie Islands, the most discussed topic was this "New Quibbler" content above.
As time went by, wizards' attention gradually moved from the "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" section to the contents of several other sections in this magazine - not that the "A Tip of the Tongue" section was attractive. It's not enough. After watching it for too long, not many people can withstand the feeling of hunger, especially when they have no other solution except crying hungry.
The first thing that caught the attention of the entire magical world was naturally the high-return call for submissions posted on "The New Quibbler."
Thousands of gold Galleons as a symbol of reward and remuneration, in an almost unreasonable way, destroyed the literary youth and arrogance in the hearts of most people in the first place, if it were not for Hogwarts Many people think this is just a bad April Fool's Day joke.
Once a single article is accepted, the guaranteed remuneration is 5 gold galleons, which is quite good for the low-price magic world.
Not to mention, a PK mechanism will be used in the next few issues of soliciting submissions for the entire magical society. As long as the content submitted in the next issue is selected as the top three in the section, you can get at least 100 Galleons and up to 1,000 Galleons. Additional creation bonus of galleons.
Under such a heavy reward, many wizards began to read other sections in detail, wanting to know how to get the royalties.
What surprised the wizards even more was that, in addition to the "Tip of the Tongue" section with rich illustrations and texts, the quality of the content in the other sections of this magazine should not be underestimated. The quality of most of the content was at the level of magic. It is above the level of core articles in mainstream journals in the world today.
Compared with core academic weekly magazines such as "Transfiguration Today" and "Potions Master", the content published in the "Into Magic" section is not only more practical, but also because the main contributors are Hogwarts fifth to seventh graders. He is a grade 1 student, so in terms of word usage and difficulty in understanding the content, he is extremely friendly to most ordinary wizards.
On the other hand, considering that this was the first time to help students form a thesis, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, as instructors, generously and patiently shared many tips they had learned from teaching over the years and joined in. The articles written by Percy and others made the entire "Into Magic" section extremely solid and solid.
You must know that anyone who can serve as the main professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is definitely a powerful being in this field in today's wizarding world. Magic academic papers revised and compiled by these professors, whether it is Both practicality and operability are at the highest level.
Even the most picky curse scholars can at most complain that the wording above is not very professional, and the content is too basic and simple. Only mediocre wizards would be interested in this simple knowledge.
And after most people complain, their first reaction is to pick up paper and pen and start writing furiously.
After all, the Golden Galleons in this call for submissions are so cute. Compared to "Today's Transfiguration", the price offered by "The New Quibbler" is really hard to refuse - in the end, everyone still has to eat. Well.
However, if the "Into Magic" section has a good response among ordinary wizards and has been evaluated among high-end wizards.
So this issue mainly focuses on the origin of the "Hogwarts Calendar", and the "Exploration and Discovery" section that directly uses the "Magical Era" as the timeline to write articles can be said to be completely the opposite - compared to most of what we see For wizards who have automatically skipped the history of magic, the introduction to this issue written by Bathilda Bagshot, the original author of "History of Magic", has undoubtedly caused an uproar in the entire history of magic research community.
"This year is Hogwarts calendar year 998, which is also known as 1991 in the non-magical world..."
This is the first sentence of the article published by Bathilda Bagshot on the origin of the "Hogwarts Calendar". In all subsequent articles, except for this coordinate, all expressions related to the year, Unification has been replaced by "Magical Era Year XXX" or "Hogwarts Calendar Year XXX".
If Professor McGonagall and others are top-notch scholars in the field of transfiguration, similar to Nobel Prize winners, then Bathilda Bagshot's status in the field of history of magic is equivalent to Stephen Hawking's status in the physics community during his lifetime. Same.
Bathilda Bagshot has been a famous historian since the 1890s, and starting from the middle and early 20th century, all the textbooks used by the entire magical community to study the history of magic are is the "History of Magic" series written by her.
This is not surprising. As Gellert Grindelwald's great-aunt, she has witnessed Dumbledore's entire process of growing up from a boy to a man, experienced the darkest period of Voldemort's terror, and witnessed the night when Voldemort failed and fell. As an elder, today's magic There is no one in the world who is more qualified than her to write and tell this long period of modern magic history.
And her initiative to speak out this time means that from now on, the concept of "Magic Era" will truly appear in the academic world of magic history.
Any mainstream media or magic institution that uses the time calendar, as well as various magic schools that take magic history classes, need to take this into consideration, from the re-editing of textbooks to the future analysis of the entire historical time. and usage norms in daily life - everything involving time is subject to change.
The most fatal point is that facing this magical era that starts with the founding of Hogwarts, it happens to hit what other magic schools in the wizarding world are most worried about today - Hogwarts, which has the most powerful influence. The Gwarts wizarding force, through this magical era, may be able to permanently fix the title of Hogwarts as the "No. 1 School in the Magical World".
Of course, it will take some time for this kind of anxiety to ferment and evolve.
After all, whether Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Northern Europe, or Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States want to respond to this statement, it will take weeks or even days at the earliest. Months later.
And by that time, Hogwarts may have more than just a reputation and a long history that are difficult to accurately measure.
In order to confirm the "Magical Era" and "Hogwarts Calendar" as soon as possible, Albus Dumbledore (played by Grindelwald) even emphasized the request several times in the principal's office. The Ministry of Magic issued a notice within this week, "recommending" that mainstream media such as "The Daily Prophet" and "Wizard Weekly" start using the "Hogwarts Calendar" to mark time.
At the same time, with the help of some enthusiastic Hogwarts students, Bathilda Bagshot will also authorize and participate in the re-editing of the book "History of Magic", striving to start the entire magic process from the next school year. The world will use the latest version of "History of Magic".
Under such a situation, the "Daily Prophet" and "Wizard Weekly", which have a keen sense of smell and political awareness, will naturally not lose their minds and choose to go against the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. Other newspapers and magazines will also have to survive. Consider where you stand.
And the only one who likes to play devil's advocate, "The Quibbler", has turned into the shape of Hogwarts. It can be expected that when the other magic schools react, it will not be difficult to resist and oppose in a hurry. It’s so easy to protest a few words.
In short, Grindelwald, as the first generation Dark Lord, is quite satisfied and proud of Elena's idea.
Otherwise, he would not lose his old face and take the initiative to write to those old friends, hoping that they would move to live near Lovegood's house and help guard this ideological frontier full of hope and future, and escort the new world.
In addition, the responses of several other sections used to make up the numbers are actually in the upper-middle range.
The revamped "Lovegood Sees the World" has become one of wizards' favorite story shows to read in their spare time. The absurd and imaginative stories in it are no less than the most interesting to the boring magical world. Comfort lubricant.
Not to mention, apart from "The New Quibbler", one can no longer find another publication that openly makes fun of the Minister of Magic's daily life, and also writes all kinds of dirty stuff about the Ministry of Magic in a serious manner - —With the Ministry of Magic's books, people have a very different perspective on these stories.
Political dark humor and fantasy fiction stories are always two of the three most popular sections in popular literature.
As for the other section, considering that a large number of readers of this magazine are Hogwarts students, Elena still chose to seal it temporarily, otherwise she might be beaten by an angry Deng tomorrow. Professor Bullydo hung at the castle door to vent his anger.
Not only that, the content on the two sections introducing the secret passages of Hogwarts and the magical creatures of the Forbidden Forest have also received a lot of attention, but the focus of people's attention does not seem to be quite what Elena's initial expectations were. Same.
Regarding the content of the secret passages of Hogwarts, more wizards are looking forward to the confrontation between the Weasley twins, who are also guest authors, and the castle administrator Argus Filch - how to stop the night Travel, and how to travel smoothly at night, when these two articles appear on the same page at the same time, it is no less than a very interesting red and white competition.
It is foreseeable that after this silent confrontation on paper, Argus Filch, who seems to be slightly at a disadvantage, will definitely find a way to fight back.
Argus Filch is already very old, and many wizards today have suffered under his hands.
Even if they have left Hogwarts Castle for many years, every time they hear a cat meowing at midnight, many wizards will still think of the fear of being dominated by that person and cat from time to time. They follow them everywhere like a shadow. This is midnight. The exclusive noun for Killer Filch.
Not to mention, Argus Filch has clearly written at the end of the article that every month thereafter, "The New Quibbler" will publish a list of students who have violated school rules at Hogwarts that month, and will also include the punishment methods and Content that violates regulations.
For the majority of adult wizards who have graduated and left school, although they may appear to be righteous and partial to this method of public execution, in fact most people are full of expectations in their hearts.
In fact, they couldn't wait to see those unlucky elementary school boys and girls caught by the castle administrator again.
As for the section that was supposed to highlight the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, due to some weird preferences of British wizards and the fact that the audiences of the first wave of newspapers and magazines were mainly middle-aged and young men, the focus of the discussion became Those little witches appear in the photo, playing closely with the unicorns.
After all, with the popularity of Newt Scamander's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", almost every wizarding family will buy a book as a tool for dealing with those annoying magical animals and insects.
Therefore, for adult wizards, the unicorn-related knowledge published above is not very attractive.
On the contrary, Luna, Hannah, and Hermione were innocent little girls who successfully attracted the attention of many wizards.
Under such attention, many attentive wizards even discovered that the tasting photos in the "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" section that did not show their full faces should not surprisingly be participated by these girls. taking pictures.
Immediately afterwards, as people checked the list of personnel responsible for each section published in "The New Quibbler" and the names of the authors of some of the articles, it was soon discovered that many manuscripts in this magazine were written by these three people. Completed by a little girl.
For example, Hermione Granger is signed in the "Magic Era" and "Into the Magic" sections, Hannah Abbott is signed in the "Tongue" section and the "Magic Era" section, and Luna Lofgu is signed. Deze signed the Fantastic Beasts section and "Lovegood Sees the World"...
After many twists and turns and discussions, of course, the image of such a group of cute, smart, and capable children from other families has emerged in the minds of all adult wizards, including many wizard families with children studying at Hogwarts. I couldn’t help but write to my children asking for specific information.
At the Leaky Cauldron, within a day, the wall behind the bar was covered with photos of girls playing with unicorns.
Tom, the always talkative tavern owner, would point to the photo behind his back when meeting people, and proudly introduce his niece. Sometimes when he got interested, he would even pick up the copy of "The New Quibbler" on the table and read it. A piece of food copy "written in Hannah's own hand".
…
At the same time, in Hogwarts Castle.
The impact and ripples brought by this "New Quibbler" are another completely different picture.
