268.The idea of ​​comics



Facing Magos's smile, Harry suddenly had an idea.

"Pictures, Ron, remember the pictures you collected?"

Ron nodded in understanding,

"But what's the point of changing famous wizards into magical creatures? It doesn't seem very attractive."

Hermione nodded in agreement with Ron's idea,

“And it’s no different than reading it from a book.”

Magos thought about it and felt that what they said made sense. The Pokémon IPs that appeared in the next few years did not become popular all over the world as soon as they appeared. Moreover, wizards are not the kind of trainers who can only watch but not fight.

Under Hagrid's expectant gaze, he leaned against the wooden wall and rubbed his chin, thinking about how to get famous. Making animations or movies like Pokémon for publicity meant nothing to the wizarding world, at least he didn't do it from Malfoy and Ron heard that their families also have the habit of watching TV. This shows that pure-blood wizard families are relatively resistant to technology, and this kind of promotion is directly ineffective.

What entertainment activities are there in the wizarding world?

He asked Ron this question.

Ron frowned and thought for a while,

“Does reading the Daily Prophet count?”

Magos was about to sneer when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed through him. Why did he have to watch it on TV? You must know that the pictures in the magical world are inherently three-dimensional and dynamic. He could use comic series to increase his popularity. The meanings of pictures and television overlap inexplicably.

"I have an idea," Magos said.

"But it takes time. It's impossible to attract them quickly."

Hagrid was a little discouraged after hearing this, which meant that he still needed to change the teaching plan he had made in advance.Most of the interest in his idea had disappeared, but he didn't chase them away anymore.

Harry and the others didn't care how long it took. They actually agreed with Hagrid's change of teaching methods, but they couldn't say it out loud.At the same time, I am also very curious about Magos's ideas. Every time he has an idea, it is very interesting, especially the magic card he proposed in the first grade, and then urges him to speak out quickly.

"It's very simple. It's a comic book. Hermione and Harry both know it."

Harry nodded,

"I peeked at Dudley's unwanted comic books."

Looking at Ron's somewhat confused eyes, Magos briefly explained what the comics were.

"It's just a drawn novel." Ron said suddenly.

"Does this really work?" Hermione still wasn't too optimistic about this idea.

"It may not be easy for their parents to accept new things."

"I've thought about this. I can first register a magazine like The Quibbler and use the name of the magazine first."

"Will anyone want it? My mother doesn't like unknown magazines that suddenly appear."

Magos didn't pay much attention to this. The cartoonist he assumed was not an ordinary wizard with no reputation. Of course, professional work such as cartoon drawing should be left to professional novel writers, who could also help Loha. He wanted to find something serious to do so that he would not have to sneak out to steal the adventures of other wizards one day. As for whether he would agree to this question, Magos had never considered it, and it was not like he was working in vain. Fame and money are both huge.

"I am going to ask Mr. Lockhart to be the writer."

Harry and the others didn't know that Lockhart was now his employee, and they were very surprised when they heard this.

"He is a big star, will he be willing?"

"It's possible, I'll try to convince him."

"I think you should not have too much hope." Harry shook his head and said. Judging from his contacts last year, Lockhart was not as good as the outside world said. He was not optimistic about Magos's idea.

Magos smiled without explaining, and then imagined the general plot of the comic. There are currently two directions. One is like Pokémon, where wizards search for magical creatures and then capture them. The other is to create a world without humans and only magic. The world of living things enables narratives like the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

He told Hermione and the others about his two ideas, but they failed to give any constructive suggestions.

Hagrid had been in a very low mood, and even hearing their conversation couldn't lift his spirits.There was no other way, Magos had to tell him that if his idea was successful, even if he didn't explain those dangerous magical creatures in the future, the little wizards would ask him. After hearing this, Hagrid put away his negative emotions. , listened to Magos’s advice very carefully.

"So what you mean is to wait until the comics you envision attract the wizards around you before taking out the drawings."

"But we just found that the pictures are meaningless. Even if the students are attracted by them, they are unlikely to actively look for the magical creatures in the pictures because of the pictures."

"So this is just my first step to get them interested."

"You still have a second step"

"Of course, there are steps three and four. But the plan at that time is not something I can implement." As he spoke, he looked at Hagrid.

"I, what can I do?" Hagrid's expression was not very confident. He actually didn't fully understand what Magos just said. He only knew that he wanted all wizards to be interested in magical creatures. He thought this goal was great and great. It's tough.

"Hagrid, I want to make the picture look like a summoning spell."

When Hagrid heard this, he was confused at first, and then looked at him in surprise.

"It can't be done, and the Ministry of Magic won't allow it."

"It doesn't need to have attack power, it just needs to be real enough, so that should be fine."

Hagrid thought for a moment, nodded first, and then shook his head, a little embarrassed.

"I don't know if I can do it."

Harry and the others were already confused at this time, unable to catch up with Magos's thoughts, and they didn't know what the use of his idea was.

"You can ask Principal Dumbledore for advice. Regarding magical creatures, I hope you can contact Mr. Newt Scamander for help."

Hagrid's expression was a little hesitant. He didn't want to trouble Dumbledore. As for Newt Scamander and he were old friends, he could find time to visit.

Harry waited for Magos and Hagrid to finish talking and curiously asked why such a picture was produced, and he knew it was expensive when he heard the effect.

"As you can say, just a picture doesn't mean much, but what if the magical creature in this picture can come out, and it has all the characteristics of a real magical creature except that it is not lethal, so wouldn't it be okay? Let us learn about magical creatures more safely."

Hagrid's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he praised Magos's idea loudly. Then he changed his hesitation and wanted to go to Dumbledore now to ask if it was possible.

"Then how are you going to spread these pictures? If the price is high, it may not attract attention. If the price is low, I guess you don't have that many gold galleons."

"I have an idea now, but it's not mature yet. I need to ask my father for advice."
