278 [Wizard Regulations]
When did BBC TV start broadcasting these unscientific news interviews, and the school of magic, why didn't he say that he saw Master Merlin!"
Tom, who was sitting at home watching TV with his family, scoffed and said disdainfully when he heard Jim on the TV say that there was a platform that could lead to the magic school.
"Mommy, is there really a school for witchcraft and wizardry?" asked Tom's child, Jack, as he looked at his mother with a curious face.
Without waiting for his mother to speak, Tom said fiercely, "No, how is it possible!"
"Woo woo......" Jack, who was only eight years old, was frightened by the vicious words of his father, Tom.
"Enough Tom! Jack is just a kid!"
The mother hugged the crying Jack, and Tom, who was embarrassed with white eyes, rubbed Jack's soft hair patiently, and said, "Dear Jack, do you wish there was a magic school, or not?"
Jack sobbed, looked up at his father, and saw that he didn't speak, and then whispered to his mother, "I don't know, but I wish I could go to magic school so I don't have to do my homework." ”
"Poof"
The mother was amused by Jack's words, and when she was about to speak, she heard the little girl interviewed on the TV say: "I saw it from the book "Harry Potter", and Harry just entered the platform nine and three-quarters, and took the train to Hogwarts, and I will find this platform too!"
As soon as the little girl said that it was a book, Jack's mother suddenly realized that she had read a fairy tale book.
Jack listened to the cute little girl on the TV, and couldn't help but look at his mother expectantly: "Mommy, can you buy me that book called Ha... Harry's book?"
"Of course honey, Mommy will buy it for you tomorrow!"

When Miss Mary was interviewed by BBC TV, she accidentally revealed the book "Harry Potter". All over London, oh no, all of England, I don't know how many children of the same age are crying and begging their parents to buy a copy of Harry, to see where the platform of the nine and three-quarters that leads to the school of witchcraft and wizardry is.
On the second day, the Harry Potter book sold more than 50,000 copies in the UK on that day, and 100,000 copies on the third day!
Tony Clive, the editor-in-chief of Thames Publishing, who was aware of the sudden spike in sales, learned from his subordinates that BBC Television had inadvertently advertised Harry's book, and he couldn't help but wonder how to maximize the benefits of it.
After pondering for more than ten minutes, Tony Clive thought of a good idea, and immediately dialed the number of the Propaganda Department, saying, "Frank, come to my office now!"
"Editor-in-chief, are you looking for me?" asked Frank as he entered the room.
"Yes, I have a task for you!"
When Frank entered the house, the editor-in-chief, Tony Clive, chatted with him for half an hour before letting him leave on a secret mission, looking at the back of Frank's departure, the cunning in his eyes flashed.
The next morning.
When Harry Potter was still selling well, BBC television received several inexplicable phone calls, each of whom said that he had seen something incredible, some said that he saw a man in a cloak, a bit like a wizard, flying away on a broomstick, and some said that he saw an old man with a full beard who went straight through a thick wall and disappeared without a trace!
Originally, the people of BBC TV only thought that someone was spoofing, after all, as the largest TV station in the UK, this kind of thing happens from time to time. But as more and more people called, and some people swore that they were willing to appear in front of the camera and tell the public about this incredible scene, the few answerers had to report the matter.
The content of the report was ridiculed and denied by the leader, but after hearing about this incident, a documentary filmmaker felt that there was a lot to do, and immediately found a way to contact several people who called and claimed to have seen the mysterious event.
After just three days of shooting, a documentary titled "In Search of the Wizard" was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 with a documentary of only one hour and thirty minutes.
The documentary "Looking for the Wizard" not only collected a large amount of wizarding materials in the past, but also deliberately found the descendants of Helen Duncan, a psychic medium who was popular throughout Britain more than 20 years ago and even quite famous all over the world.
Speaking of Helen Duncan, she can be said to be the most famous witch in Britain in the forties, she relied on a large number of fake photos to promote her psychic, and then inadvertently helped the mother of a dead soldier to summon the spirit, but never wanted to talk nonsense, but really told a little truth. This incident not only attracted widespread attention, but even the then Prime Minister Winston Churchill was alarmed.
Then the witch Helen Duncan was arrested for witch crimes, which attracted global attention, after all, science was already very advanced at that time, it was no longer the Middle Ages, and it was really funny that someone could be arrested on witch charges.
In the end, the Helen Duncan was released, and at the same time, the Witchcraft Act, which had existed since 1735, was completely repealed.
When Huo Yaowen wrote "Harry Potter", he often referred to the history of witches in Britain and Europe.
As soon as the documentary program was broadcast, it quickly attracted the attention of people all over the country, not only more and more people claimed to have seen mysterious wizards, but also many teenage children claimed that they saw owls flying into their homes when they were 10 years old, and they did not approach because they were afraid.
Not long ago, a group of adults took children to King's Cross Station to find the mysterious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the book, and because of this, the documentary producer of "Looking for the Wizard" regarded it as another mysterious event, and after arranging it on a TV show, it completely became popular throughout the UK!
Every day, a large number of idle people with pain in the eggs drive thousands of miles to the center of London, and come to this King's Cross station to find the mysterious platform of nine and three-quarters.
In just half a month, the old word wizard, which is somewhat old and somewhat decadent, has once again been revitalized in Britain, and countless people who claim to be psychic have appeared on all kinds of TV shows that make people laugh. There are also countless people who claim to be students at Hogwarts School, but because of one of the magical safety regulations of the secret wizarding world and the British King: no magic is allowed in front of Muggles!
Even when the King of England held a Christmas event two months later, some people asked if there was a "Magical Safety Ordinance" signed by the royal family and wizards. Faced with this ridiculous question, the Emperor in his forties did not directly deny it, but said in a joking tone: "Maybe this regulation exists, after all, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been established for thousands of years, after all, I have only been the Emperor for a few decades......"
Originally, it was just a joke of the British king at Christmas, but it was somehow revealed, and soon a large number of people overinterpreted this sentence, and many people believed that this "Magic Ordinance" was real, because three hundred years ago there was a "Witchcraft Ordinance" bill in Britain, which only allowed the royal family to capture wizards, and did not allow civilians to capture them privately, which to some extent alleviated the persecution of wizards since the Middle Ages, so this ordinance was an agreement after a compromise between the royal family and the hidden wizarding world.
And the beneficiaries of all this, in addition to those liars who claim to have made a lot of fame on TV shows, the biggest beneficiaries are Huo Yaowen and Thames Publishing Company, the book "Harry Potter" only took a month and a half, and exceeded the amazing sales of two million copies, and before the end of 1970, it sold three million!
Tony Clive, the editor-in-chief of Thames Publishing, couldn't sleep for days, and so did Lito, because several countries adjacent to the United Kingdom were also capitals with wizarding legends, and a large number of publishing companies came to the door to claim the rights to their publications.
In the following six months, "Harry Potter" sold a staggering 18 million copies throughout Europe, becoming another best-selling magic masterpiece in Europe after the Bible!
