The organizers have thought it through and have set up a special section in the Daily Quidditch newspaper to answer all sorts of quirky questions from all over the world.

This column is also used to publish various rules announced by the organizers of the World Cup, which really put restrictions on "pets".

"It's not overtly aggressive, it's non-toxic, and the size doesn't exceed the prescribed limit." Fred read out the restrictions on bringing animals, "Congratulations, Lovell, you're totally compliant, you don't need to buy a ticket to watch the World Cup." ”

The look of envy in Fred's eyes was about to turn into substance: this is a game that can be watched without a ticket!

If it weren't for the fact that the Animagus transformation was too difficult to learn and that he couldn't control the animals he became, Fred might have to evade the ticket by learning the way of the Animagus.

Lovell smiled, not going deeper into the topic. Although it didn't need to buy a ticket itself, it still needed to get a ticket because it wanted to go to the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione.

Next, several people naturally turned their attention to how to get free tickets.

"The newspaper said that if you tear off this piece, fill in your own information and send it back, you will have a chance to win the lottery." George saw the Daily Quidditch activity.

All they need to do is fill out a questionnaire on the last page of the newspaper and send it back, and they will be able to get a ticket to the World Cup from the newsroom.

Although the probability of winning the lottery is extremely low, it is a hope after all, and Fred and George are still ready to try. But one thing is very tricky, that is, this newspaper was actually brought back by Angelina, and if you really fill it in, you should also fill in Angelina's information.

"Hey, what's that?" Angelina saw the concerns of the two, the hearty girl waved her hand, and generously handed the newspaper to Fred and George, "I didn't expect to get a ticket through this, my luck has not been good." ”

Of course, this doesn't mean that Angelina doesn't want to "prostitute" a ticket for nothing.

"We can guess the winner, the newspaper said that if you guess the winner seven times in a row before the final, you can get a ticket, which is much more reliable than an ethereal lottery."

The rules of the event are very simple: you guess the outcome of the two teams, guess seven times correctly and give you a ticket to the World Cup final, and the wrong number of guesses will be zero.

There are a total of 16 teams in the finals, and if you're lucky, you might be able to accumulate seven wins in the round of 16-8. Of course, in order to prevent the emergence of people who take advantage of loopholes, an identity can only make one choice. For example, if you bet on Team A to win both teams in AB, you can't bet on Team B to win at the same time.

With the exception of Lovell, everyone present had a deep understanding of Quidditch, so they quickly bet on it.

The first one or two wins are very easy to obtain, after all, it is the first point in the qualifiers to play the budget match points to the bottom one, this situation will hardly be a problem, the second to beat the two is the same, but the next wins and losses are not so stable, because the difference in strength between different groups is also different.

Since there is no level of strength in the non-magical world, the group groups in the magical world are divided immediately, which leads to some groups being "death groups", and some groups have the feeling of bribing the organizers at a glance. In this way, the convincing power of winning the group is not so strong.

"I think the U.S. team should be able to win, after all, it's the defending champions."

"The defending champions are coming home less often? And you are actually optimistic about Argentina? The last time they reached the final was at the beginning of the 20th century, before England last hosted the Quidditch World Cup! ”

"Isn't anyone optimistic about the Scottish team......"

A heated discussion erupted in the corner of the Gryffindor common room. Fred, George, and Angelina are all Quidditch people, so the journey of convincing each other is extremely difficult.

After a period of bickering, they chose their five favorite teams. After rational calculation, they feel that these five teams have the highest and most stable chances of winning. They know very well that if there is a mistake in one round, there is no chance of saving - 8 into 4, 4 into 2, a total of only six games, once you guess wrong in one round, then there is no need to guess at all, and there are only six wins if you guess correctly.

Lovell had long been tired of listening to the side, and at first it could copy Fred's answers, but later, the three of them got too big to argue, so it simply started picking the team that it liked on its own.

Eventually, Fred glanced at the list that Lovell had drawn up with his paws and was startled, "Lovell, are you sure you're going to pick seven teams in one round?" ”

Lovell nodded: "I think it's okay, you see that these five teams are not exactly the same as what you analyzed!" ”

"But you're actually bullish on the Canadian team, which is ......" Fred frowned as he looked at the two extra teams on the list, "They had a mediocre performance before, what were you based on?" ”

"Because it's pleasing to the eye." Lovell said with a sense of urgency.

Fred was speechless, but just as he was about to hand the list back, he was reminded of Lovell's outrageous performance in Hogsmeade.

This is a very lucky little wolf cub!

He struggled and eventually added two teams to his list.

George:?!

"It's just a gamble." Fred laughed, "If it succeeds, then there is no need for another round of guessing." ”

George was also a little intrigued, but considering that he shouldn't put his eggs in one basket, he kept the original choice, after all, it was the result of their serious discussion.

"What are you doing here? Are you all gathered here, and you don't have classes in the morning? A somewhat gruff voice rang out, and Lovell looked up to see a small, but stout red-haired young man walking towards him.

The young man had a broad face like a good gentleman, his face was covered with dense freckles, which looked almost brownish-black, and his eyes were bright and very bright.

Fred raised the list in his hand at him and said loudly: "Charlie, we are predicting the victory or defeat of the World Cup finals team!" ”
