time at hogwarts

Diagon Alley behind the wall of the Leaky Cauldron is particularly lively today, but unlike the heated discussion about new magazines at Hogwarts, the wizards in Diagon Alley are all adults after all, and there will always be some resistance to the emergence of new things. , so although there are many wizards at the door of the store, not many actually buy it. Instead, they all look at the comics they have previewed and talk about this new creative method. ..

Most of the wizards here knew from the advertisements in the Daily Prophet that Lockhart had a new work released today, so they were full of expectations before finding this store. However, the method of the new work was a bit different from what they were used to. Resistance arises spontaneously.

Looking at the noisy wizards in the shop, Quirrell yawned and used his wand to put a few comic books that wanted to run for adventure back to their original places.Since there is currently only one kind of magazine for sale in the store, Quirrell has not changed the frame of the store. He only found two rows of bookshelves on both sides so that people can see them as soon as they enter the door.

Quirrell is one of the few wizards who knows a lot about Muggle culture. After all, he was a professor of Muggle Studies before taking up the role of Defense Against the Dark Arts.So after reading the comic, he quickly discovered that it was very similar to the picture book he had seen in the Muggle library.And because of the dynamic picture quality and exciting plot, he was quickly attracted. He read the first issue that day and collected several copies.

He stood by the bookshelf and looked at the arguing wizards. He didn't understand why they were arguing about the merits of comics and comics. If you like them, buy them and read them. If you don't like them, just ignore them. What's the point of arguing or exchanging the contents of the comics? The plot is expressed in words

In this way, on the first day, except for a few wizards who were interested or thought it was new and bought a few copies, almost no wizards took a fancy to this unique magazine.

Lockhart wasn't surprised when he learned the result that night, or he didn't show up because he was aware that this might happen.

"What do you think?" Lockhart stood in front of the restless comic books and picked up one at random and asked.

"Almost all wizards can't accept this new work, maybe we shouldn't sell it this way."

Lockhart was a little surprised by his answer.

"Do you think those wizards will change their old insistence because of different sales methods?"

Quirrell did not answer his words, but silently picked up a comic and asked,

"You are their author, how do you think comics compare to."

"How can this compare?" Lockhart said with a smile.

"One is pictures and the other is text. They are just different ways to tell the story. In essence, there is no difference between them."

"So why are wizards so resistant to comics?"

"Because they're conservative...it's not obvious."

Quirrell shook his head and disagreed with his point of view.

"If you were not the author, what choices would you make when faced with comics?"

Lockhart blurted out, but he looked at the protagonist who was adventuring in the jungle in his hands, hesitated, and added,

"I'll probably buy the comics too."

Quirrell smiled and clapped his hands,

"So a large part of the reason why they are stubborn is because they have never had any comparison. After comparison, even if they don't like it, they won't reject it without reason."

Lockhart looked at him thoughtfully,

"You mean to let me write this story again in words"

"Yes." Quirrell nodded.

"I would suggest that McGoss serialize the plot of the comic in the form of a newspaper simultaneously, so that they will know the meaning and convenience of comics."

Lockhart opened his mouth and wanted to say that you didn't seem to ask me if I wanted to. It was very energy-consuming, okay? Moreover, he originally wanted Magos to give up comics because of this, but he expressed in the Daily Prophet that he would start over. The creation, now that Quirrell has said this, he will continue to spend time on it.However, he looked down at the comic in his hand and found that he didn't seem as bored with it as he thought.

The next day, Magos learned about the sales of Diagon Alley comics. Although he had expected that new things would be resisted by adult wizards, he only sold a few copies and compared them with the sales at Hogwarts. I feel uncomfortable all over. The huge gap seems a bit unreasonable.

Then I saw Quirrell's suggestion and thought it made sense. Only by comparing old and new things together can we clearly see their advantages and disadvantages.As for whether Lockhart would have any objections, this had been selectively forgotten by him.

After sending the letter, he began to think about the drawings, or the production of cards.

It was actually very simple to make something the same as the picture in Chocolate Frog, but he wanted to make something different, at least a little mysterious, so that the wizards could be interested.

The first thing he thought of was the same way he used to collect Water Margin cards and Pokémon cards as a child in his previous life.But he was instantly rejected because it was no different from the chocolate frog approach.

Then he wanted to use scratch cards, but the cost was a bit high. After all, they were facing wizards. Unless they were coated with magic materials, there would be no difference to the wizards.

Then he thought about using magic, but when he thought about the cost, it was also unfeasible. After all, these were only the most basic cards, not even cards.

In the end, he decided to use the method of drawing cards in the game to solve the problem, which was both attractive and cost-effective.Just make a big box that can't be seen through by magic and add a disruptive spell, and then place all the cards in it. If you need to draw a card, just pull the joystick on the side, or use the disrupted flying spell to draw a card. .

As for the more advanced cards, there is no news yet. This can no longer be solved by him. It depends on Hagrid's public relations ability.But there is no rush now. Only when the cards start to become popular will the release of the cards cause a sensation. Even if they are available now, they will at most make them curious, and then they will lose their appeal. The fake ones are fake after all, and there is no such thing. There's no comparison between supporting them enough and really.

Then there was the currency issue. He felt that there was no need to charge extra for the card, and he could give away a chance to draw a lottery every time he bought something in the store.As for the cards, you need badges to draw them, and the method must be distinguished from the cards to make them look more stylish.He still needs to study the method of obtaining the badge. It can't be too difficult or too easy. It's a bit nerve-wracking.

An advertisement for Lockhart's new work once again appeared in the advertisement space of the new day's Daily Prophet. The above sincerely stated that he did not expect that everyone would be so resistant to the new method, so he would re-serialize it in the form of text. When the time comes, If you take this newspaper to buy the serialized Witcher and then buy the comics, you will get a [-]% discount.
