Chapter 421: The Gate to the New World (Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for a Subscription!)
The same scene didn't just happen with the Weasleys.
For every family in the wizarding world, this Monday morning was off to a particularly flavorful start.
The devil's copywriting from the "tip of the tongue", coupled with the food GIFs carefully selected by Elena and others, can burst out of the "toxicity" in this hungry early morning is terrifying.
You must know that in most British families, eating breakfast while reading newspapers and magazines is almost a living habit rooted in everyone's bones, which is like oriental Sichuan chefs always have to use wide oil to slide the pan once before stir-frying - although there is no explicit rule, but the absence of this link always feels like a lack of soul.
It's still the end of the twentieth century, and even in the non-magical world, Internet technology is just beginning to emerge, and information is spreading at a rate far less than it would be during the Big Bang a few decades later.
Of course, the British region at this time is still one of the world's most recognized gastronomic deserts.
Eggs Benedict, Golden Cheese Potato Balls, Butter Fries, Hungarian Organ Potatoes, Caesar Salad, Mushroom Bisque, Spinach in Cream, Strawberry Mousse, Crispy Cod, Smoked Salmon......
This issue of "A Bite of Hogwarts" focuses on breakfast, and in order to take these dozen or so photos with bright colors and make people full of appetite at a glance, Elena and the others spent almost a whole week.
And that's just some of the breakfast for a week in the four Hogwarts houses.
However, even if there are only a dozen or so dishes, in Elena's opinion, it is completely enough to break the psychological bottom line of those wizarding office workers who can only nibble on cold sandwiches and munch on boring cereal in an instant.
Not to mention, considering that some wizarding families may receive the magazine late, Elena has also added an extra page of this week's Hogwarts star dinner menu at the end of this issue's breakfast special.
For example...... This week's Hogwarts kitchen introduces the magical seared veal.
Compared to the usual charcoal grilling method, the whole cooking process of this batch of veal comes from the magic flame, and the meat does not have any smoke and charcoal flavor mixed in.
The Levitation Magic cleverly allows each piece of veal to be heated at 360 degrees without dead ends, and the fat melted at high temperatures is evenly smeared on every inch of the skin under the magic of the domestic elves, forming a tempting and crispy layer of golden yellow, locking the delicious gravy firmly inside, without a drop being wasted, ensuring that every bite can feel the richest taste feast.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
Just like the same layered Western food, in Elena's planning, the food content shown in the first issue of "New Singing and Singing" is only the most basic starter, and in the subsequent issues, she will gradually bring more meals and dishes to the magazine.
As for copywriting, these are not actually the most orthodox "tongue points" nowadays.
After all, simple words are never as impactful as sounds, and in the imagination of the white-haired dumplings, when will the "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" section be able to achieve the combination of pictures, texts, sounds, aromas, and tastes, in order to be regarded as a qualified magical food publication.
But even the most basic culinary culture shock has quickly become a huge sensation in the entire wizarding world.
For a whole day, from the British Ministry of Magic to Diagon Alley in London, from the Quidditch training ground in Dorset to the Black Dragon Sanctuary in the Hebricks, the most talked about topic was the content of The New Singer.
As time went on, wizards' attention shifted from the "Bite of Hogwarts" section to the other sections of the magazine - not that the "Tip of the Tongue" section wasn't attractive enough, but after watching it for too long, few people could withstand that hunger, especially when they didn't have any other solution than to cry hunger.
The first thing that attracted the attention of the entire wizarding world was naturally the high-return call for submissions posted on "New Singing and Contrarian Tunes".
Thousands of gold gallons, as a sign of bounty and remuneration, destroyed the youth and arrogance in the hearts of most people in an almost unreasonable way in the first place, and if it were not for the joint preparation of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the British Ministry of Magic, many people would think that this was just a bad April Fool's joke.
Once a single article is accepted, the minimum guarantee is 5 gold galleons, which is quite good for the low-cost wizarding world.
Not to mention, the PK mechanism will also be used in the next few issues of the call for submissions for the whole magical society, as long as the content of the next issue is selected in the top three of the sub-sections, you can get an additional creation reward of at least 100 Galleons and up to 1000 Galleons.
Under such a heavy reward, many wizards began to detail other sections, wanting to know how to pay for this manuscript.
What surprised wizards even more was that, in addition to the illustrated and innovative "Tip of the Tongue" section, the quality of the content in the other sections of the magazine should not be underestimated, and the quality of the content was above the level of the core articles of the current mainstream journals in the wizarding world.
Compared with core academic weekly magazines such as Transfiguration Today and Potions Master, the content published in the "Into the Magic" section is not only more practical, but also because the main contributors are Hogwarts students in grades 5 to 7, it is particularly friendly to most ordinary wizards in terms of terms of vocabulary and difficulty in understanding the content.
On the other hand, considering that this is the first time to tutor students to form a thesis, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, as the instructors, have generously and patiently shared many tips that have been summarized in teaching over the years, and added them to the articles of Percy and others, which has made the gold content of the entire "Into the Magic" section extremely solid and stable.
You know, anyone who can serve as the main professor in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is definitely a powerful existence in this field of wizarding today, and the magical academic papers revised and compiled by these professors are at the top level in terms of practicality and operability.
Even the most critical Charms scholars complained at best about the unprofessional wording and the simplicity of the content, which only mediocre wizards would be interested in.
And after most people complain, their first reaction is to pick up a pen and paper and start writing.
After all, this Jin Gallon, it's so cute, compared to "Today's Transfiguration", the price given by "New Singing and Singing Contradiction" is really hard to refuse - in the end, everyone still has to have just the right meal.
However, if the "Into the Magic" section has a good response among ordinary wizards and has been evaluated among high-end wizards.
This issue, which focuses mainly on the origins of the "Hogwarts calendar" and uses the "Age of Magic" as a timeline to write articles, can be said to be completely reversed - compared to the vast majority of wizards who automatically skip when they see the history of magic, the introduction written by Bathilda Basshathat, the original author of "History of Magic", has undoubtedly caused an uproar in the entire history of magic research community.
"This is the year 998 of the Hogwarts calendar, which is the year 1991 in the non-magical world......"
This is the first sentence of Bathilda Basshat's article on the origin of the "Hogwarts calendar", and in all subsequent articles, except for this one coordinate, all expressions of the year are uniformly replaced with the words "Wizarding Age XXX" or "Hogwarts calendar XXX".
If Professor McGonagall and others are super-first-line scholars in the field of Transfiguration similar to Nobel laureates, then Bathilda Baghat's position in the field of the history of magic is equivalent to that of Stephen Hawking in the field of physics during his lifetime.
Since the nineteen-nineties, Bathilda Bassat has been a well-known historian, and from the middle of the twentieth century onwards, the entire wizarding world has been using the History of Magic series for the study of the history of magic.
It is not surprising that as Gellert Grindelwald's aunt, the elder who witnessed Dumbledore's growth from a boy to a man, experienced the darkest period of Voldemort's terror, and witnessed the night of Voldemort's downfall, no one in the wizarding world today is better qualified to write and tell this long modern history of magic.
And this time she took the initiative to speak out, which means that from now on, the concept of "Age of Magic" has truly appeared in the academic world of the history of magic.
This needs to be taken into account in the use of the time calendar by any mainstream media, by magical institutions, and by various magic schools when they teach the history of magic, from the rewriting of textbooks and textbooks to the subsequent use of the entire historical time and daily life - everything that touches on time can change accordingly.
The most fatal point is that in the face of this era of magic that started from the founding time of Hogwarts, it happened to hit the place that other wizarding schools in the wizarding world are most worried about today - the most powerful Hogwarts wizarding force, through this era of magic, maybe the title of "the first school in the wizarding world" can be fixed forever.
Of course, it will take some time for this anxiety to ferment and derive.
After all, whether it is the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France, the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Northern Europe, or the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States, it will be weeks or even months away at the earliest.
And by that time, Hogwarts may have more than just an incalculable prestige and a long history.
In order to determine the "Wizarding Age" and "Hogwarts calendar" as soon as possible, Albus Dumbledore (played by Grindelwald) even emphasized several times in the Headmaster's office, asking the Ministry of Magic to issue a notice within this week, "suggesting" that mainstream media such as "Daily Prophet" and "Wizarding Weekly" start using the "Hogwarts calendar" to mark the time.
At the same time, with the help of some enthusiastic Hogwarts students, Bathilda Bassat will also authorize and participate in the re-compilation of the book "History of Magic", and strive to use the latest edition of "History of Magic" in the wizarding world from next school year.
In such a situation, the Daily Prophet and the Wizarding Weekly, which have a keen sense of smell and political awareness, will naturally choose to fight against the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, and other newspapers and magazines will have to consider their own sides.
And the only "Singing Contradiction" that likes to contradict has changed to the shape of Hogwarts, and it is to be expected that by the time the other magic schools react, it will not be as easy as a few words of protest to resist and oppose in a hurry.
In short, for Elena's idea, Grindelwald, as the original Dark Lord, was quite satisfied and proud in his heart.
Otherwise, he would not have pulled down his old face and took the initiative to write to the old fellows, hoping that they would move to the vicinity of Lovegood's house to help protect this frontier of ideas full of hope and future, and escort the new world.
In addition, the repercussions of several other sectors used to make up the numbers are actually in the middle and upper positions.
The revamped Lovegood: See the World has become one of wizards' favorite storytelling clubs in their spare time, and the absurd, brain-opening stories are no less than the most comfortable lubricant for the boring wizarding world.
Not to mention, with the exception of "The New Singer", there is no other publication that openly makes fun of the Minister of Magic's daily life, and also writes about all kinds of black material from the Ministry of Magic, which has a very different perspective on these stories.
Political dark humor, as well as fantasy stories, are always two of the three most popular sections of popular literature.
As for the other section, considering that a large part of the magazine's readers were Hogwarts students, Elena chose to seal it for the time being, otherwise she might be hung at the gate of the castle by an angry Professor Dumbledore tomorrow to vent her anger.
Not only that, but the content on the two sections of Hogwarts Secret Passages and Forbidden Forest Magical Creatures has also received quite a lot of attention, but the focus of attention does not seem to be quite the same as Elena's initial expectations.
When it comes to Hogwarts' secret passages, more wizards are looking forward to the confrontation between the Weasley twins, who are also contributing authors, and Argus Filch, the castlekeeper - how to stop the night tour and how to smooth the night tour, when these two articles appear on the same page, it is no less than a rather interesting red-white match.
Predictably, after this silent confrontation on paper, Argus Filch, who seems to be a little underdog, will definitely find a way to fight back.
Argus Filch is very old, and many wizards have been deflated under him today.
Even though they have been away from Hogwarts Castle for many years, whenever they hear a cat meow at midnight, many wizards still remember from time to time the fear of being once dominated by that man and a cat, which is an exclusive term that belongs to Filch the Midnight Killer.
Not to mention, Argus Filch has made it clear at the end of the article that every month since then, the New Singer will publish a list of Hogwarts students who have violated the school rules for that month, along with the punishment and the content of the violations.
For the majority of adult wizards who have graduated and left school, although this method of public execution will be biased in a few words on the surface, in fact, the hearts of most people are full of expectations.
In fact, they couldn't wait to see if those hapless elementary school juniors were caught by the castle caretaker again.
As for the section that was supposed to highlight the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, due to the eccentric preferences of the British wizards, and the fact that the audience of the first wave of newspapers and magazines was mainly middle-aged and young men, the focus of the discussion became the little witches who appeared in the photos and played intimately with the unicorns.
After all, with Newt Scamander's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them selling well, almost every wizarding family will buy a book as a tool for dealing with those annoying magical beasts and insects.
Therefore, for adult wizards, the knowledge of unicorns posted above is not very attractive.
On the contrary, it was Luna, Hannah, and Hermione who were innocent little girls who successfully attracted the attention of many wizards.
And under such attention, many careful wizards even found that the tasting photos in the "Bite of Hogwarts" section that did not show their full faces should have been taken by these girls.
Then, as people investigated the list of responsible persons for each section published at the end of "New Singing and Contradiction", as well as the names of the authors of some of the articles, it was soon discovered that many of the manuscripts in this magazine were completed by these three little girls.
For example, Hermione Granger is attributed to both the "Age of Magic" and "Into the Magic" sections, Hannah Abbott is signed to both the "Tip of the Tongue" and "Age of Magic" sections, and Luna Lovegood is signed to the Fantastic Beasts and "Lovegood?" sections......
After many twists and turns, it is natural that the image of such a group of cute, intelligent, and capable children of other people's families has emerged in the minds of all adult wizards, and many wizarding families with children studying at Hogwarts can't help but write to their children to ask for specific information.
And the Leaky Cauldron Tavern is a day when the walls behind the pub bar are plastered with pictures of girls playing with unicorns.
Tom, the always talkative tavern owner, even points to the photos behind him when he meets people, proudly introducing his niece, and sometimes when he is interested, he will even directly pick up the "New Singing and Singing Contradiction" on the stage and read a paragraph of food copy written by "Hannah herself".
......
Meanwhile, in Hogwarts Castle.
The impact and waves brought about by this "New Singing and Contradiction" are another completely different scene.
