Chapter 477: Movie Release
Gringotts announced its incorporation into the Ministry of Magic and joined the newly established Finance Division.
This matter did not make many waves among ordinary wizards.
However, the Gringotts' Headquarters was bombed.
Gringotts has always maintained a high reputation in the wizarding world, and all wizards are safe to deposit their money because they have never participated in the internal struggle of wizards.
Always maintain a neutral position.
But in doing so, England is undoubtedly trampling on their most fundamental principles.
They hurriedly sent people to the British Ministry of Magic to question them. But it was pushed back firmly by Crouch.
"As long as it is a magical creature in England. It must obey the orders of the Ministry of Magic."
That strong stance left the Goblins of Egypt angry, but they had no choice but to surrender.
If nothing else, the dozen or so Aurors, who were staring at them, made them dare not act rashly.
They can only go back to the Headquarters to report in dismay.
But what they don't know is it's just the beginning.
Over the next two days, almost every European country announced that Gringotts would be brought under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic.
And these Gringotts also joined together to leave the Headquarters and re-established a Headquarters in England.
"Alvin, come on, we're going to be late."
On the road, Astoria hurriedly urged her boyfriend.
Alvin rolled his eyes. Who do you think is the fault of being late?
If you didn't see a snack shop along the way and wanted to go in and have a look, we'd been there long ago.
Today is the day of the release of Harry Potter, and Alvin has nothing to do and is ready to come and see.
Originally, he wanted to invite all his girlfriends to come with him.
But Cho went to training at the Tutshill Tornados, Hermione went to work at the Ministry of Magic, and Luna was picked up by her mother,
The only one left by his side was Astoria.
So today has become a date that belongs only to them.
For movies, Astoria has shown full interest.
She knew that Muggle pictures didn't move, but they had an amazing technique to bring out the stories in their minds.
Especially when Alvin said that this happened in his first year, Astoria was even more curious.
She and Luna were a year younger than Alvin, so Alvin was already in second grade when they entered.
As for the first year, she only heard from the seniors and did not know the specific process.
She finally got a chance to find out today.
When the two went to the cinema, the cinema was almost full of people.
Harry Potter's early publicity is in place almost overwhelming, and the movie's promotional posters can be seen everywhere.
Alvin saw that many adults brought their children to watch the movie together. Obviously, the children are more curious about the fantasy world.
Soon the movie starts.
The appearance of the Dursleys who are fierce.
And when Hagrid appeared, conjured a pig's tail to Dudley, and introduced Harry to the existence of magic, the film entered the topic.
Immediately following the lively Diagon Alley, the magical platform 9 3/4 immersed the audience completely.
And Harry's life at Hogwarts is the highlight of the film.
When Alvin watched a movie in his previous life, he also remembered the wonderful things in Hogwarts.
With a Levitation Charm, complicated Transfiguration spells, and passionate Quidditch, the movie presents the real magical world step by step to everyone's eyes.
Both adults and children are staring at the screen. Eyes do not blink.
When encountering a wonderful scene, they can't help but exclaim.
In the end, Harry makes continuous breakthroughs and successfully defeats Voldemort to get the Philosopher's Stone, and the film ends.
The audience is still immersed in the world of the movie.
It took a long time to give the warm applause.
"Fantastic!"
"How long the screenwriter's brain can think of so many magical spells and magic."
"Yeah, I almost think the wizarding world really exists."
"Mom, is there really a platform 9 3/4 in the world?"
"Baby, I don't know either. I'll take you to try it tomorrow."
"I want to be a wizard, I want to learn magic, and I want to play Quidditch!"
Listening to the heated discussions around, a smile appeared on the corner of Alvin's mouth.
At least so far, it looks good.
The film is three hours long to show the splendor of the wizarding world in more detail, and many special effects are applied.
Although the cost has increased a lot, it is all worth it.
He successfully turned his yearning for magic into a seed and buried it in the audience's hearts.
He believes that after the wizarding world is revealed, all people who have seen the movie will not have any disgust for the existence of wizards.
On the other hand, Astoria was a little gloomy.
"What? I thought I could see you as a child in the movie, but only Potter appeared."
She came to the movie not to see Harry Potter but to see Alvin at that time.
In the end, let alone Alvin, even Cho, and Hermione didn't see it.
Nodding her little head angrily, Alvin said helplessly.
"I told you long ago that this movie is about Harry, and then I'll make some adaptations."
"You don't think that when me and Hermione and the others go, they will be surrounded by people, right?"
"Okay." Astoria pursed her lips.
This movie is absolutely tongue-in-cheek for Muggles.
But for Astoria, the movie doesn't even show half of the magic of the wizarding world, but it's a bit boring.
Holding Astoria's hand, the two left the cinema to Diagon Alley.
It was still early, and he and the twins made an appointment to visit their store.
The twins can be described as successful men.
Especially in the summer vacation, the business is even hotter.
The two are already planning to open a new store in Hogsmeade next year, with the goal of crushing Zonko's Joke Shop.
The arrival of Alvin can be regarded as completely changing the fate of the two.
Fred did not die at the hands of the Death Eaters, and George kept his ears.
Alvin wonders what their expressions would be if the two knew the truth.
