Chapter 424: Emma's Chance

It's a pity that the Watson family's small education turmoil has disappeared completely before it has risen.

——In the face of such a smart and lovely daughter, how many fathers can calm down and criticize education?

Emma's dad felt like he couldn't do it anyway.

He didn't feel like it was just his own thoughts, either.

Because, the casting director, who was full of red beard and rough like a Viking, was finally conquered by his daughter's charm as well.

- He promised to put Emma on the checklist and wait for the selection of the official director Charlotte Booth.

This made Emma's father proud and a little worried-

You know, although the Yankees are not as perverted as the French, sometimes, the discipline is not much higher.

Will their lovely daughter be targeted by them!?

- Emma's dad doesn't think he's worrying about nothing.

As a lawyer, he knows that the stricter a country's laws prohibit something, the more they are afraid of something.

This country must have been or is seriously troubled by this problem.

In the United States, the laws on the protection of minors from being violated are particularly numerous and severe......

In short, Emma's dad is not at ease,

So, when he saw that his daughter had received an invitation to audition for the second round, he tried again to persuade her to give up.

Alas, once again, unexpectedly, shamefully failed.

"This is a regular crew, how can there be so many perverts!!"

Afterwards, even his current wife thought he was thinking a little too much.

However, Emma's father is still not very reassured-

In particular, the "Entrance Exam Notice" with the "Hogwarts" logo on it, that is, the audition invitation, always felt a little strange and indecent to him.

As a lawyer, a reader of The Times, and a man who runs the country, Emma's dad doesn't look down on the people in the entertainment industry who are always being reported by The Sun.

- Even if his family has some connection to the British entertainment industry.

"An audition invitation is an admission notice, so do auditions require a sorting hat?"

Emma's dad thought with some cynicism.

- It should be said that after reading "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to his daughter, he can also understand some of the plots in it.

Unfortunately, Emma's father's guess wasn't too correct.

The way the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" auditioned the young actors was not the weird way of putting on a worn-out talking hat.

Although it's not much worse -

"Just keep waving your wand!"

The audition site was set up to resemble a handicraft shop.

Before the audition began, Richard Arsenal, the red-bearded man who was in charge of the audition last time, took everyone around, and then explained to everyone,

"Once you've tried one, we'll judge whether you're fit to be the actor of those little wizards based on how well you wield your wand!"

“......”

- Can you still play like this!?

Emma's father, who accompanied Emma to the audition, was dumbfounded.

As a strict and rigid lawyer, he feels that this is simply the crew's trickery.

However, her daughter Emma doesn't think so-

"This is like Mr. Ollivanders' wand shop in the book!"

As a book lover, Emma has a little star in her eyes,

"It's really like the book says, it's not the wizard who chooses the wand, but-"

"—Wand Chooses Wizard!"

A tall dark-haired man next to him took Emma's back words,

"The real world isn't that magical, but it's okay for you to think so now, little girl!"

"This gentleman, you are—"

- Although looking at this man's appearance, he should also be a member of the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", but ......

Emma's father still glanced at the dark-haired man in front of him with a little wariness, pretending to inadvertently protect his daughter behind him.

"Introduce yourself, I'm Charlotte. Charlotte Booth!"

The dark-haired man didn't seem to notice Emma's father's actions, he briefly introduced himself, and before Emma's father could react, Emma screamed all at once-

"You are the director of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone!?"

"Yes. ”

Mr. Director glanced at Emma in surprise and waved his hand to the other young actors and their parents who had turned their heads at Emma's scream,

"I'm the director of the film — but recognizing me doesn't make you through this audition. ”

“...... Yes, got it. ”

Emma stuck out her tongue......

Seeing that Mr. Director was walking away, Emma whispered in her father's ear,

"Dad, this Mr. Director is a bit stern, much like Professor Snape in the books!"

Emma's dad nodded.

- He doesn't care about the director's strictness.

On the contrary, if Mr. Director is a very frivolous person at first glance, then Emma's father is really a little worried.

- In a way, a strict teacher like Professors Snape and McGonagall in Harry Potter is more likely to gain the trust of parents.

- As a director, the same is true.

Emma didn't know what was going on in her father's mind.

She just waited a little nervously.

In order to avoid interfering with each other during auditions, the auditions of the young actors were carried out one by one.

Emma didn't know how the people in front of her were doing, and whether they met the requirements of the crew director.

She could only pull at her hair with some irritation.

Until—

"Emma Watson!"

It's her turn!

Emma stood up suddenly.

She walked briskly into the audition room, not even realizing that she was walking hand and foot for a moment.

"Don't be nervous!"

Richard Arsenal, the male-faced red-bearded old man, was actually very kind, and he comforted Emma before slowly closing the door to the audition room.

"It's really like Mr. Ollivanders' Wand Shop!"

Emma looked around, reaffirming her thoughts.

She took a deep breath and realized that the dark-haired man who claimed to be director Charlotte Booth was also here.

- He sat in a shadowy corner, not saying a word.

"Miss Watson, like I said, you just have to try waving these wands!"

It was Mr. Richard Arsenal with the red beard who spoke.

He pointed with his hand, and Emma noticed that there was a long table in front of her, on which were a dozen of them - well, Emma's first instinct was a wand.

"You can wave each wand once, or pick a few of them, it's up to you - and when you wave your wand, you can also chant spells like a wizard in a book, if you remember. ”

After listening to Mr. Richard Arsenal's careful explanation, Emma nodded.

She actually picked one of the wands at a glance, and her instincts told her that it was the best fit for her.

However, Miss Watson, who was more sensible, chose to start from scratch and wave her wand one by one.

After all, the more opportunities you try, the more likely you are to succeed.

- Even if she is not yet eight years old, the clever Emma already knows this.

And when she waved her wand, she was indeed chanting a spell—

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!"

- This is the levitation spell in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and it is also Emma's most memorable spell.
