"096" won the game
It's really not pure.
Because on the day when the "Daily Prophet" released the new headline, Lockhart reacted and immediately held a press conference, severely criticizing the "Daily Prophet" for stealing his name, and said that "Dumbledore Fell in Love with Me" is not his new book, his new book is "I Can Magic", which has been written three-quarters of the way and will be written in the summer......
Meantime.
Lockhart speculated that "Dumbledore Fell in Love with Me" was Dumbledore's autobiography or semi-autobiography, and in short, Dumbledore was directly hung up.
Fortunately, the tone is very gentle.
He said that it would be good if the principal reprinted the cover......
The news was in the newspapers.
Immediately attracted people who didn't buy books-
What kind of book? So powerful? Dare to steal Lockhart's name? And the title of the book is too powerful, right? Dumbledore in love with me? Merlin's beard, if it is an autobiography, is Dumbledore planning to reveal his love history?
Time.
The sales of "Dumbledore Fell in Love with Me" did not fall but increased.
But at the same time.
The expectations of "I Can Magic" have also risen rapidly.
Dumbledore had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Magic to mediate with Lockhart - but it was easy to mediate.
After all......
He didn't know what the book was all about.
And so it goes.
Theoretically, it's none of his business.
But here's the problem......
In addition to him and Lockhart, there were also people from Rumihart Books and the Daily Prophet.
And the accusations against Lockhart on both sides.
One by one, they shouted that they were wronged.
The former said that Lockhart is the contracted author of his company, and it is a normal business activity to use his fame to promote new writers and new books, which can not only increase the sales of new books of new artists, but also increase his fame activity, so that he can often show his face in front of the public when he is not publishing books.
The latter said that this was a work mistake in the newspaper, and it should have been "Gilderoy Lockhart recommended a new book", but a ink spot accidentally covered the word "recommended", so it became "Lockhart's new book", and Lockhart was too online.
- Lockhart does not forgive their statements.
So......
The content of the evening newspaper that day became that Rumihart Books, the Daily Prophet and Dumbledore refused to apologize, and Lockhart actively sought legal means.
And after Dumbledore went back.
Once presented.
The questions of the little wizards are also updated and iterated in a timely manner:
"It turns out that "Dumbledore Fell in Love with Me" is your autobiography of the Headmaster!"
"I just found out that the author is Mary Sue, oh...... The author's name is exactly the same as the heroine's name, Mr. Dumbledore, are you going to make your relationship public? ”
"Headmaster, when did you get married in secret?"
“……”
Even the professors ......
Occasionally, there will be a "so you are such a Dumbledore" expression;
McGonagall reported several times, but she stopped talking;
Snape turned his gaze as soon as he appeared, with a look of I understand you......
……
The next day, Dumbledore had no choice but to contact the newspaper to clarify once again that the book and the incident had nothing to do with him.
However, it didn't work.
And even after clarification.
He began to receive some inexplicable anonymous letters.
Most of these letters are estimated to have come from Lockhart's readers, and it is estimated that most of them were once Hogwarts students.
So the most famous wizard in the world in the face of the old headmaster's bonus.
Their tone was still very gentle.
It's nothing more than asking Dumbledore to make a face, and if he doesn't clarify sooner or later, if he doesn't clarify on this point, wouldn't it seem as if he was being forced by Mr. Lockhart? As the principal of a prestigious school, you still have to pay attention to the evening festival and the like.
Sure enough.
On the same day, the "Prophet Daily" once again published an evening newspaper, in which a special section was listed, and readers' messages were written.
There are both heads and tails.
The positive ones are:
"Mr. Dumbledore, as a world-renowned archmage, if he really writes an autobiography, he can sell better than Lockhart's new book without Lockhart's recommendation at all."
"Lockhart has no regard for the headmaster's education, and he is so unreasonable."
"Honestly, it doesn't matter who the author is, 'Dumbledore Fell in Love with Me' is enough to be a bestseller because the content is just amazing."
"Highly recommend "Dumbledore Falls in Love with Me", I will never regret watching it......"
The opposite is:
"The third-rate writing, the second-rate content, even dare to touch the first-class writer Mr. Lockhart?"
"I don't think it's Dumbledore's work either, but it must not be his, it's also someone he is familiar with, considering that the author's name is the same as the heroine's name, it should be the object of his admiration or the descendant of the object of his admiration, and sure enough, as a descendant of a well-known wizard, it is easy to make money!"
"Dumbledore is in love with me, and only women like to read it, unlike Lockhart's work, which is a book that men should read!"
“……”
Compared to the mild rhetoric of the positive.
The criticism of the opposite side is extremely sharp.
And soon, as an extension, it set off a bigger scolding war.
Not only the Daily Prophet, but also other newspapers such as Diagon Alley and The Gargoyle have opened up new sections, which are to publish readers' letters of abuse every day.
And the content ......
It is no longer confined to Dumbledore and Lockhart, Dumbledore in Love with Me and Me Who Can Magic, the false propaganda of Rumihart Books, and the false publication of the Daily Prophet.
"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"
Instead, it extends to topics such as whether well-known wizards should use their positions and connections to pave the way for their incompetent juniors, the solidification of classes in the wizarding world, and the confrontation between male and female wizards.
For a while, the demons danced.
So much so that when someone brought up the topic of "whether Ringo Shelby is the real culprit behind Bor's murder".
The others were stunned.
Only then did he answer the question "Didn't the Ministry of Magic announce the end of the war", "Why do you still care about such boring things", "The ascent of new wizards has been blocked by old wizards, and you still talk about this", "Shouldn't the interests of witches be more concerned".
Even at Hogwarts.
As the initiator, Ringo walked on the campus road, not many people cared, and even the little lions, badgers, eaglets and even some little snakes would ask his opinion from time to time when discussing the scolding war after class.
As for Shelby, it's the real murderer!
What?
Who is Shelby?
Who did he kill?
The Bor family? Oh yes, the Bor family has been wiped out, but it's long gone......
……
In such chaos.
Gilderoy Lockhart held another press conference to announce that "Dumbledore Fell in Love with Me" would be published in the upper and lower parts, and this time it was to publish the upper part, and the publishing company was still Rumihart Books;
The Daily Prophet announced the fixation of evening newspapers and the addition of a new afternoon newspaper to carry more and more letters;
"Dumbledore Falls in Love with Me" was reprinted and announced to open up the international market......
