Chapter 10: The Wand
Morgan was right, and after he pushed the door open and entered the Ollivanders wand shop, there was no image of the various fandoms.
What boss appears directly in front of you, talking about the characteristics of the wand in memory, the brain is like a computer, and can remember the ingredients and users of each wand.
In Morgan's view, this kind of thing is simply scientific.
The total population of the entire United Kingdom is more than 60 million people, not counting the population of the British colonies, and the existence of outsiders and the like, there are nearly 100 million people.
Even if there is one wizard for every 10,000 ordinary people, there will be nearly 10,000 wizards of all ages here.
This still doesn't include the branches of the twenty-eight families, if it expands a little and diverges those families that are more capable of giving birth to it, like a couple giving birth to seven gourd babies, the population of wizards may be even more.
It's definitely not like in the movie, there are about 200 people in the seven grades of the entire school, and there are only more than 30 people in one grade.
Like in the movie, Ollivander can certainly write down everyone's situation.
But in the real world, with at least nearly five hundred new students enrolled each year, plus some wizards who need to change their wands, it is impossible for Ollivander to keep a record of everyone's situation.
He even said that in the past two days, he wanted to receive more than 500 new students at the same time, and he couldn't choose a wand for each new student.
After all, as in the movie or the novel, each freshman has to choose separately and blow up this wand shop, and Ollivander can't give it to the little wizards even if he has more time.
So when Morgan and the others entered the Ollivanders wand shop, he saw a huge space that looked like a large supermarket.
There are boxes of the same size in a row in the space, and each row has a detailed description of the size of the wand, and as for the material of the wand, each box will be recorded in detail.
The little wizards have their eye on whichever one they like, just pick it up themselves, the box has an automatic reply magic attached to it, and as soon as the little wizards release their hands, the wand will fly back to the box on its own, without the little wizards putting it back one by one.
As for the store manager coming to help you choose, I'm sorry, I don't have that time now.
As far as Morgan could see, there were at least thirty children about his size there picking out wands.
Most of the children don't care what their attributes are, they come up and hold books like "Wand Material Manual and Detailed Instructions", and go directly to what elderberry, what phoenix tail feathers.
I don't know where they got their confidence that they would definitely become the master of such a difficult wand.
There were a couple of kids, and you could tell they all had a good wand in their sights.
Morgan shook his head at the chaotic scene, and then he looked around and saw a white-haired old man looking at the somewhat chaotic scene with a smile on his face, as if doing so would satisfy his bad taste.
Professor Flitwick also noticed the old man's expression, and he beckoned to the old man who looked like a craftsman or a tailor, "Ollivanders, can't you get some people to help?" It's so chaotic every year. ”
"This is my reform, you know? This is a step in the industrialization and formalization of the wand, which is better than the unreliable materials you have brought in. ”
The old man waved at Professor Flitwick and said a little loudly.
Professor Flitwick explained to Morgan, "Leave him alone, he was complaining in his heart that wizards had a variety of rods before he took over the family business. A customer will often hand over to the wandmaker's preferred magical substance, inherited from their ancestors, or trusted by the family.
Every year, he would get a list of new students from the school and contact them one by one to make wands.
You see the way he holds the ruler, which is a habit he develops every year when he makes wands for people.
It's just that he himself is not happy with this kind of life, because he is only busy for two months a year, and the rest of the time is idle.
On top of that, the wand materials are provided by the families of the young wizards, which has a great influence on the wand.
You must know that the Muggle-born little wizards are okay, they don't have the materials directly, and they can use the materials that Ollivanders and they have collected.
The little wizards of the wizarding family are different, have you ever heard of the whiskers of the beloved cats, or the white fresh branches that saved their fathers from poisoning, or the hair of mermaids that customers stumble upon on their holidays in Scotland to make wands?
And if the wand is not powerful, they will blame Ollivander.
So Ollivanders simply changed the way the family had been making it for thousands of years, collecting materials by himself and making them at will, for the little wizards to choose.
In his words, this is an industrialized reform, in fact, we all know that he is just afraid of trouble. ”
"So does he still have private orders? I think there are some families who are reluctant to accept this kind of industrial magic wand. ”
"Yes, there is, but the materials are not allowed to bring their own now, and the left turn of the self-brought materials is next door to France."
Before Professor Flitwick could speak, the Ollivander had already walked over, and he glanced Morgan up and down: "What, you want to be customized?" ”
"Yes, I come from a Muggle family and don't have much access to good materials, so I wanted to make a wand for myself."
Ollivander glanced Morgan up and down, and then a tape measure measured back and forth on Morgan's body.
At the same time, Ollivander said: "My wand here, if you choose one at random and it feels right to wave it, it is seven Galleons, no two prices, ordinary wizard families and ordinary families can afford it, you can take it now."
But it's not the same if it's customized, the cost and labor costs need to be calculated separately, my current list will not be available to you until at least a week later, and I don't guarantee that I can make the right wand for you the first time. ”
"I can add money." Morgan directly interrupted Ollivander's words.
Ollivander was stunned for a moment, he waved his hand, "It's not a question of adding money or not. ”
"Double it again."
Ollivander was furious when he heard it, why can't you understand it, it's not a matter of money or not, it's doubled, why don't you call the landlord.
An angry Ollivander pointed at Morgan and said, "Triple it." ”
"Good!"
