Hogwarts: This professor is too Muggle

Melvin skipped the chase scene between him and Draco, and only showed Harry flying across the sky and the tower on his broom. The little boy was flying freely, with the endless blue sky behind him and the hills, forests and vast lake below him.

Finally, there is a shot of Professor McGonagall, and then the scene cuts to the lake, where students are gathered in the courtyard discussing Harry becoming a Seeker.

The film does not mention the detailed process in between, but the audience can imagine what happened in detail by watching the two scenes before and after.

Melvin did not directly move the true story into the film, but made some deletions and transfers, weakening the minor characters that were irrelevant to the main character. Whether it was students like Draco or other professors, the relevant plots were deleted if possible, and those that could not be deleted were transferred to Harry and the surrounding characters.

"..."

In the top floor cinema of The Three Broomsticks, Malcolm and Tuckerlot had returned to their normal sitting positions, staring intently at the mirror. The scolding in the Transfiguration class, the actions in the greenhouse and the feces reminded them of how stupid they were in the past.

After graduating and entering the adult world, they begin to taste the flavor of life. The carefree days in school that only appeared in their dreams are now presented in front of them in detail, and the emotions directly touch their hearts.

This is the effect of youth campus films.

The freshmen's school life is on track and the film enters the main storyline.

Roommate Longbottom got lost and came home late, so Harry and his friends went out to look for him. The noise they made attracted the administrator, and they chased and hid all the way. They accidentally broke into the corridor on the fourth floor and found a ferocious three-headed dog.

Here is a close-up of Lou Williams, with three heads opening their bloody mouths at the same time, with clear muscle texture and sharp teeth with traces of blood.

The image is so clear that it looks like the audience's head is stuffed into the mouth of a three-headed dog.

"Wow!"

The audience was immediately in an uproar. The scene was even more exciting than the one in the trailer.

"What on earth do they want to do? Locking up a guy like that in school!"

"Don't you see what it's standing on?"

"On the floor?"

"No! It's a trapdoor. It's obviously guarding something!"

"..."

The audience's doubts were also aroused, and they began to put themselves in Harry's shoes, wondering why there was a three-headed dog in the school, what was under the trapdoor, and whether the two professors were plotting something.

Then, Hagrid appeared again and used his big mouth to reveal that the thing under the trapdoor was related to Nicolas Flamel. Harry wanted to continue to find out what it was, but the gamekeeper was like an NPC who had received a task and was unwilling to say anything.

"I won't say anything."

"Then we'll have to find it ourselves!"

Harry and others in the picture are anxious, and the audience outside the picture is even more anxious. The freshmen don’t know who Nicolas Flamel is, but they know!

"The Philosopher's Stone! There's the Philosopher's Stone down there!"

Malcolm shouted anxiously, wishing he could get into the mirror to remind them, but then he was covered in the mouth by Taklot next to him, and the two began to fight.

With the appearance of the three-headed dog, the originally relaxed and happy daily atmosphere changed. Following Harry's perspective, the audience found that Quirrell began to appear frequently in the picture. During the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, his weird expression was shown in close-ups many times, as if implying something.

Harry and his companions gradually uncovered the truth about the Philosopher's Stone, and accidents began to happen frequently in the school.

In the first Quidditch match, Harry's broom was cursed and he was hanging in the air, swinging. After struggling on the verge of life and death, he won.

At the Halloween party, Harry and Ron were so full that they went to the bathroom together. As a result, they encountered a troll and fought with it until the professor arrived.

After the first snow, a group of students were punished with detention for being late for class. The detention included a tour of the Forbidden Forest. Harry was among them. As a result, they happened to encounter a mysterious wizard breaking into the Forbidden Forest to hunt unicorns. Professor McGonagall and the centaurs worked together to repel him.

Accidents happened one after another, and even the most obtuse wizard could sense that something was wrong, and the theater gradually became quiet.

Just when the audience was in a heavy mood, Christmas arrived.

As the cheerful "Jingle Bells" played, the school castle was decked out in Christmas decorations. Students, wrapped in fluffy scarves, left their footprints on the white snow. From Harry's perspective, the pumpkin juice in the image was steaming, and the roasted turkey's skin was golden brown...

The Christmas scene was very beautiful, but the audience's hearts were always in their throats and they couldn't calm down.

The situation was indeed not right. Professor McGonagall had to go to Hogsmeade to settle accounts, Professor Sprout had to go out to purchase herbs, the deans each had their own work, ordinary professors went home for the holidays, and even the headmaster received a letter from the Ministry of Magic and had to leave the school.

The keen audience noticed that something was wrong. Various coincidences were intertwined, and the school's defenses were weakened layer by layer, becoming weak and empty. In the end, it was discovered that only Harry and a few other freshmen were left in the school.

The newborn in the mirror is still enjoying Christmas unconsciously, but an invisible shadow has already shrouded him. This contrast tugs at the audience's heartstrings.

The background melody of "Jingle Bells" gradually faded. The strange Quirrell stood behind the window of the school infirmary, watching the professors leave the school one by one. His face was hidden in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen. Only the purple headscarf could be seen.

The screen fell into darkness, and the creaking sound of old loose-leaf pages suddenly sounded. The sound of old wooden doors opening and closing was so painful that it seemed to cut the audience's nerves.

All the wizarding pubs in England fell silent, and the emotions of the audience in the theater were stirred, and they vaguely felt that it was the sound of their own heartbeats.

In the previous crisis, the professor and the principal could seek help, but now that the help and backing have been stripped away, are the freshmen going to have to face the dark wizards alone?

How is this possible?

Malcolm and Taklot's expressions unconsciously became very ugly, their brows tightly knitted together, as if they were back in their student days, choosing to stay in school during the Christmas holidays, while the professors and principals left one after another, leaving only them and a powerful dark wizard in the entire school.

In the dark environment, they seemed to feel someone watching them from the shadows, which made them very nervous.

"..."

Seeing the two men clutching each other's robes tightly to relieve tension, their wives looked at each other and fell silent.

Chapter 84 The End

"We must get ahead of him and get the Philosopher's Stone first!"

"You are crazy!"

"You'll be fired!"

"So what?"

"..."

A slightly childish voice came from the mirror.

Inside the castle auditorium, the young wizards had quieted down, staring intently at the mirror, with floating light and shadows reflected in their eyes. The entire auditorium was so quiet that it seemed as if only the sound of the film could be heard. Some people wanted to go to the bathroom, their faces flushed from holding it in, but no one wanted to leave.

"What's that at its feet?"

"It looks like a harp. We must speed up!"

"..."

As the story draws to a close, the film quietly picks up the pace. The devil's snare at the bottom of the tunnel, the key that sprouts wings and flees everywhere, the chess pieces and endgames transformed by transfiguration, and the endless levels make thousands of wizards across England follow the three freshmen on their adventure. Their actions stir their emotions, making them anxious, eager, and nervous...

"The Devil's Snare uses fire! Oh, why did I just think of that now?"

"The Flying Spell! Why is no one using the Flying Spell?"

"What? No Summoning Charm for first graders! If the school doesn't teach it, then neither will the family? Granger is a Muggle-born, but there's also Harry... and Weasley? What are Arthur and Molly doing?"

"Wizard chess? This gives me a headache. Why did Professor McGonagall make it so complicated?"

"Guarding the Philosopher's Stone didn't work. It even stopped a few kids. I don't know if they can catch up."

In the remote tavern of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devonshire, there was a lot of noise. The wizards were chattering and giving advice, even cursing. Seeing that they were blocked in their actions, they wanted to go in and show them the way themselves.

Faced with the carefully designed endgame, the red-haired little wizard scowled: "Yes... This is the only way. I must be eaten."

"Oh no!"

"This is chess! Sacrifices always have to be made!"

One of the red-haired witches looked at her son on the screen, still in disbelief, her eyes wide open, holding her breath, her heart almost jumping out of her chest with excitement.

The little red-haired girl next to her was even more excited, staring at the mirror with shining eyes, but her eyes were not on her brother, but only on Harry next to her.

Every level is difficult but can be passed, and the audience's heart is moved every time a level is passed. The story in the mirror is like an invisible hand, stirring the emotions of thousands of wizards. They feel depressed when encountering difficult problems and excited after passing the levels.

Feeling down again and again, feeling excited again and again.

Intense emotional changes constantly impact the viewers' brains. This new form of entertainment shakes their souls and makes them unable to stop.

Harry in the film also reached the last room, the screen showing his weak and lonely back. Stumbling along the way, his companions also left one by one. Ron was left at the chessboard level, Hermione stopped in front of the flame, and Harry was left alone again.

Just when the atmosphere was getting low, the tone of the film suddenly changed, showing Quirrell constantly being defeated in the Chamber of Secrets, while Harry followed behind and effortlessly avoided all the traps.

The story became cheerful again.

In the closed and eerie dark room, the vision is extremely dim. The first-grade little wizard quietly follows an adult black wizard, wanting to protect the precious Philosopher's Stone. He is lonely, helpless, weak and pitiful... It should have been a heavy and depressing storyline, but the scene shown in the mirror made the audience laugh.

A statue suddenly appeared, grabbing his neck, a rope swimming in the water wrapped around his neck, Quirrell struggling to hold on, Harry eager to try. The absurd bridge section, which happened to be an evil dark wizard, suddenly added a bit of comedy.

This is another way of playing with emotions.

"..."

The atmosphere in pubs and cinemas across the country was a little more relaxed.

The audience's hearts, which had been hanging in the air, slowly settled down, and the story seemed less heavy.

"It's just children playing house."

A wizard suddenly whispered, "I thought it would be a fierce battle, but it turned out to be a joke. I knew it, the checkpoints ahead didn't look like they had any effective defenses."

"That's not the case. They're just first-year students. It's already quite good that they can achieve this. We can't judge them by the Auror's standards..."

The persuasive voices beside them suddenly stopped, and they found that the cheerful music from the shadow mirror had disappeared, and Quirrell had walked to the end of the room.

"When I came here I was still wondering if I would have a chance to meet you before leaving school, Potter!"

A sinister voice suddenly appeared. Quirrell turned around with a chilling sneer on his face. The marks left by the trap before made his face even more sinister and weird.

With a wave of the wand, Harry was unable to fight back and was immediately tied to the Mirror of Erised.

Faced with a powerful dark wizard, Harry tried to hide the existence of the Philosopher's Stone, but was soon exposed. Facing the rushing Quirrell, he gritted his teeth, broke free from the ropes, and punched hard.

Quirrell's condition was very strange, his wailing was shrill and terrifying, and the tender fists falling on him felt like red-hot irons. Harry's condition was also not right, and he seemed to be in great pain.

The pictures and music exude a tragic beauty.

After a struggle, Harry lost consciousness, and Quirrell's body dissipated and turned into ashes.

"..."

The audience's emotions experienced ups and downs again. The wizard who had just been talking about family affairs stopped talking and stared at the mirror with wide eyes.

Malcolm and Taklot frowned tightly together, looked at each other, and conveyed information with their eyes in the dim light. They could understand each other's meaning.

The confrontation and battle between Quirrell and Harry came to an end, and many previous doubts were answered, including the broom that lost control in the Quidditch match, the mysterious wizard who attacked the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, and the strange looks in the classroom.

But what followed was even greater doubt.

How can a freshman hold down an adult dark wizard?
