Tom Riddle Jr., the most popular star in the wizarding world, bar none.

He made his debut with v "You Took My Heart With Magic", and in the past two years, he has successively starred in the TV series "You Took My Heart With Magic", "Encounter with Magic" and the movie "The Hair of the Wizard" Heart", both of which were hugely successful, especially in the movie "The Warlock's Hairy Heart", which won wide acclaim and won the third class of the Order of Merlin (the third class is awarded to those who contribute to the knowledge or entertainment of the wizarding world. Lin Ning has also received one before).

Among them, "You Stolen My Heart With Magic" is adapted from the novel of the same name;

"Encounter Enchanted" is also adapted from a series of love novels by Fifi LaFour. It tells the romantic story of a witch from a pure-blood family meeting a handsome wizard from a Muggle family, and then breaking the shackles of the family and falling in love.

And "The Hairy Heart of the Witch" is adapted from "The Hairy Heart of the Witch" in "The Tales of Beedle the Poet", a collection of fairy tales that have been passed down for a long time in the magic world. The young wizard, after discovering that his friends, when they fell in love and romped about dressing up, became stupid and lost their taste and dignity, the young wizard made up his mind that he would never do such weak-willed For this purpose, he also used black magic to strengthen his immunity.

When the peers around him are getting married and having children, he still dismisses it;

When his elderly parents died, he felt no grief;

It was not that there were no girls who approached him. In fact, many girls were attracted by their haughty demeanor and tried all kinds of subtle tricks to please him, but none of them were able to move his heart.

The wizard prides himself on his indifference, and the wisdom behind it.

He is in charge of their family's castle, living a carefree and solitary life, thinking that others must be very envious of him, but one day he heard the castle's servant talk about him, saying that he has so much wealth, but he doesn't A man loved him, and said why he couldn't find a wife?

The wizard's pride took a hit.

He made up his mind to find a perfect wife. He thought it would take decades to find, but the day after he thought so, he met such a woman.

She is amazingly beautiful, has a lot of wealth, and is very skilled in magic.

The wizard still had no feelings for her, but he proposed to her anyway.

Although the young girl felt the indifference behind his sweet words, she had never met such a strange and aloof man before, and she was inevitably attracted by him and agreed to marry him.

But soon the young girl felt the indifference again. She thought the wizard didn't have a heart, so she said to the wizard, "If only you had a heart."

This naturally means that the wizard did not put his heart into it, but after hearing this, the wizard took her to the dungeon of the castle and showed her his most precious treasure:

In an enchanted crystal case lay the still beating heart of the Warlock.

To the new wife, the heart was wrinkled and covered with long black hair.

The wizard then did what he thought would make his new wife happy, put the heart back in his chest, and then he felt the touch of his new wife's white and soft skin, the fragrance of her thick golden hair, etc. , This makes having a heart become strange, reckless and savage, and has a ferocious and surly desire.

The guests who came to their wedding didn't see the new couple for a long time, so they hurriedly searched for them in the castle, and finally they found a very terrifying scene in the dungeon.

The mistress of the castle lies on the floor with her chest cut open;

The mad master was beside him, clutching the bright red heart with a bloody hand. He licked and stroked the heart, vowing to exchange it with his own.Holding his wand in the other hand, he wanted to persuade the black-haired heart to leave, but the heart was unwilling to give up control of his senses and refused to leave her chest.

As the horrified guests watched, the wizard cut out his heart with a silver dagger.

Then, holding a heart in each hand, he collapsed beside his new wife and died.

In the hundreds of years since "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" was published, this story has never been revised, and few people have commented on it.Lin Ning accidentally opened the "Story Collection of Beedou the Poet" and after seeing this story, he made up his mind to adapt it into a movie. This "The Hairy Heart of the Wizard" expresses the most powerful and least popular The magic temptation recognized by people: the pursuit of the indestructible body of King Kong.

Such a pursuit is as difficult as climbing the sky. After all, no one can get rid of some form of harm, whether physical, mental or emotional.

And this story also made Lin Ning notice that what the wizard does is actually similar to making Horcruxes, except that one is to escape death and pursue eternal life; And the heart, has already violated the first article of the "Basic Principles of Magic":

To tamper at will with the deepest secrets, the source of life and the essence of self, one must be prepared to suffer the most extreme and dangerous consequences.

In general, Lin Ning thinks this story fits Tom Riddle very well, just as Lin Ning also feels that he needs to broaden his play.

No, strictly speaking, Tom Riddle is the true character in "The Hairy Heart of the Wizard". , and found more but more attractive qualities under his handsome appearance and polite temperament, and this pushed his popularity to another peak.

This kind of reaction surprised a certain group of people, saying that they don't understand the current magic world!

It can be said that Tom Riddle is now on his way to the pinnacle of his life, and it doesn't matter if he responds to everything in the magic world.

And Dumbledore?

Dumbledore is still the greatest white wizard of our time, even if Lin Ning catches up, but more often people prefer to think that she is the wisest Minister of Magic, the most handsome best-selling author, the most creative reformer, etc. Anyway, an inventor who can't write novels is not a good Minister of Magic. In terms of pure magic, he can't compare with Gellert Grindelwald, who defeated the first generation of Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald, and also led the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore who fought against the second generation of Dark Lord Voldemort for more than ten years.

Dumbledore was as respected as ever, and when he met Tom Riddle Jr. in the studio of the new Ministry of Magic building, he looked like the very kind old headmaster at Hogwarts , "Oh, Tom, my boy, nice to meet you here."

Tom Riddle was no longer the old Tom Riddle, he didn't feel angry at all because Dumbledore called him Tom, and the upward arc of his mouth didn't change at all, he nodded at Dumbledore reservedly Nodding: "Professor Dumbledore."

The TV station staff discussed in a low voice: "Has Mr. Riddle ever studied at Hogwarts?"

"If there was, we must have known about it."

"It may be that Mr. Riddle received an admission letter from Hogwarts when he was 11 years old, and it was Principal Dumbledore who went to pick him up, but he did not choose to study at Hogwarts in the end."

"Probably."

As a popular actor, Tom Riddle has released very little information to the public, and this has not caused dissatisfaction among others. On the contrary, they are all guessing where he came from, and are fascinated by his mystery.

The discussion of the TV staff was actually caught by Tom Riddle, and he smiled slightly at Dumbledore who also heard it: "It's a pity, they only guessed half right." Dumbledore, head of Lanffindor, went to pick up Tom Riddle from the orphanage, and their first meeting was not very harmonious.

Dumbledore obviously remembered the past, and he was inevitably a little stunned. He didn't catch up with this conversation immediately, which gave Tom Riddle a head start. He said politely: "Professor Dumbledore, the TV station didn't give us It is a rigid requirement, but I think we should unify the style of commentary later, what do you think?"

Dumbledore: "Okay."

"Then let's go to the living room and talk."

At first glance, the two of them get along very harmoniously, and the staff of the TV station also think so, and have absolute confidence in the ratings of their next program.

At this time, there were still three hours before the start of the Quidditch World Cup finals. Ron and Harry at the scene finally waited for Hermione who had been late.

Ron said, "Harry and I thought you'd be coming with Minister Lockhart."

Hermione's eyes lit up: "Has the minister come yet?"

Ron nodded: "Yes, but why do you ask that?"

Hermione said slowly: "My logical reasoning ability prompted me to ask that question, and I strongly recommended you to study logic before." She has found that in the wizarding world, especially pure blood, there is a lack of logical reasoning ability. They say it's just the two of us in the room, and someone farted, but not me.

He will ask you innocently: who is that?

Hermione was very entangled with this, and even took one more look at Harry, the little wizard from Muggles.

Harry: "??"

Ron: "...we don't always have as much energy as you do."

Harry scratched his hair and said, "Then why are you so busy?"

When he said this, Hermione finally looked back at him, and took out a book "Ouroboros", the seventh story of "Greenwood Adventures" from her carry-on bag, "I'm reading this book written by the minister. This book, his publishing house said that this is the last story in the series, and the book fans are almost crazy, I finally bought a copy."

She proudly added: "It is reported that this series of novels has been translated into 72 languages ​​so far, and the total sales of all versions have exceeded [-] million copies."

Ron: "[-] million?!"

Harry followed suit with a "wow".

Ron sighed innocently again: "How much does that cost?"

Harry had no idea: "A lot, a lot."

Hermione mentioned a number. There are only institutions on the Muggle side to do professional statistics, and not only the royalties, but the series of movies adapted from "The Adventures of Greenwood" are also very popular, which is another considerable income. Not to mention that "Greenwood Adventures" has many spin-offs.Moreover, this is only the work under the pseudonym of GR Lockhart, "His" trumpet Tom Greenwood also has "Vampire and Werewolf", "He used magic to take my heart away", "Time and Space Lovers" The four love novels of "The Love of Ghosts" are all products of delayed drafts, and the total sales volume of these four love novels is higher than the total sales volume of the "Greenwood Adventures" series of novels. .

It can be said that Tom Greenwood has also become a world-renowned pure love novelist.

(Barry Macmillan: "...")

Ron and Harry sighed innocently again, which made Hermione want to sigh a little. She put the book in her school bag and planned to go shopping with Ron and Harry. Combined.

By this time excitement had spread over the camp like a palpable cloud, and it seemed that even the summer air was trembling with anticipation.Vendors from all over the world, especially from England, have long been waiting. They have obtained a license from the British Ministry of Magic earlier, and brought various products to a specific area near the final venue, waiting for customers to come to their doors.

There are illuminated rosettes, green for Ireland and red for Bulgaria;

With green hats decorated with shamrocks that dance with the wind;

There is a Bulgarian sash with a lion printed on it that really roars;

There are national flags of the two countries, which will play their respective national anthems when they are waved;

There is also a small model of the Firebolt that can really fly;

There are statues of famous players for collection, and those small statues can walk around in the palm of your hand, all with a triumphant style.

There are also all kinds of fireworks, like flying and flame-breathing dragons made of sparks;

With a swishing sound, the wheel-shaped pyrotechnics that are spinning and passing through;

Rocket with a shining tail of silver stars;

Spraying it will form the shape of the Bulgarian or Irish flag in the air, etc.

However, the fireworks can only be ignited when they are brought to the venue, otherwise, wait for the Ministry of Magic to come to your door.

In addition, various snacks are indispensable.

There's also a variety of tournament-specific magic items.

The most popular is the panoramic binoculars, which can replay the game and play it in slow motion, and if necessary, it can quickly flash the game analysis. In addition, depending on the nationality of the user, it can also use The mother tongue of the speaker, of course, the price is not cheap.Ron saved most of his pocket money for the summer and spent most of it on it. Harry and Hermione also bought one, and Hermione bought a copy of the game instructions.

In the end, when Arthur saw the panoramic binoculars they were holding, he slapped his forehead: "If I knew you were going to buy it, I would have given you a coupon."

Ron: "Huh?"

Hermione: "From the Ministry of Magic?"

Arthur smiled and said, "Yeah."

Hermione smiled.

Ron froze for a moment, then began to howl.

After being teased by George and Fred, he gradually regained his energy.

Kong Ling and Zou Wei also each bought a panoramic telescope, but Kong Ling used it to watch the competition, and Zou Wei, who studied alchemy for a year in the gold department, used it for research. Lao Tzu who wrote the "Tao Te Ching", his ancestor Zou Yan also belonged to the Golden Academy, so it is not wrong to be considered an alchemist by foreigners, but the ancestor did not actually focus on alchemy. The works can no longer be seen outside, but their college has always kept them, and they are still the textbooks of their departments.

And their gold system is not fake, and they are rich, but they really don't refine corpses like many people have rumored. That's what the school in Miaojiang specializes in, okay?

In the words of their dean, that school is not a very popular technical school.

Zou Wei researched and studied, dismantled the panoramic telescope, and continued to study.

Kong Ling was still nagging next to him: "Their "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is too short, and the only ones that are barely related to us are a Chinese dragon and a Tibetan snowman. If I knew it, I would have brought a copy of ours." The textbook "Shan Hai Jing" let them see our vast land and abundant resources, but they are quite pioneering when it comes to food. Looking at Bibi multi-flavored beans, there are more than 700 flavors, and there are earwax and vomit. Look at the shoelaces, the foam crumbs, the coals—I mean their producers must have eaten those things to make a multiflavored bean like that, right? And They are still very enlightened, and magical animals can eat whatever they want."

No, the magical animals here can't be eaten casually either.

"Fantastic Beasts on the Tip of the Tongue" is based on real dogs and real stories, but the author Lin Ning said that it is purely fictional, Bo Jun smiled, and readers think so, the truth is only Lin Ning, Nepenthes The dog and the bystander, the White Queen, knew this.

Right now Lin Ning is bringing Nepenthes and its little family. The White Queen has not come, and she still has a bunch of reports to read, and after she reads them, Lin Ning has to take over the pages when Lin Ning comes back. There is a family business in the wizarding world or in the Muggle world.

Even if there are professional agents, they still have a lot of work to do.

And the White Queen is also responsible for another task, which is to be responsible for rebroadcasting "Explaining Quidditch for You" on the TV station to Lin Ning to see if there is a Shura field.

Having said that, Lin Ning was not idle at the scene. As the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, she came back and forth with many Ministers of Magic of other countries who came to the Quidditch World Cup final, the director of the Department of Sports, and the International Federation of Wizards. Officials of the Quidditch Committee under the jurisdiction and so on.

Nepenthes was willing to stay in her suit pocket at first, but then she got impatient and squatted on Lin Ning's seat, taking it out from the artificially made pocket that had cast the No Trace Expansion Curse Snacks, enchanted insects that line up and jump into its mouth.

When Hermione and Ron came over together, they first saw Lin Ning talking to a wizard in a gorgeous black velvet robe with gold trim ("That's Bulgaria's Minister of Magic, Ober Lansk." Arthur Weiss Lai whispered from the side.), and then saw the pitcher plant which is actually not big. At first, I was very puzzled, but then I suddenly realized.There is such a magical dog in "Fantastic Beasts on the Tongue" and "Greenwood Adventures", especially in "Greenwood Adventures", it was revealed to be the ultimate boss, which made Hermione can't help but take a risk Make a guess:

If this dog is the archetype of a dog, does it have the same magical ability to make people drop their jaws?

After all, did Hermione know that there is a dog called a swallowtail dog in the wizarding world, which can eat insects, but the swallowtail dog obviously doesn't look like this.

Just as Hermione was thinking, the pitcher plant she was staring at noticed her gaze and looked towards her.

Then, protecting its snack, the pitcher plant turned around and turned its back on Hermione.

Hermione: "..." She didn't want to snatch it for snacks.

Ron and Harry were looking around enthusiastically. They walked from the camp for nearly 10 minutes to the competition venue, and now they were in a huge stadium that could accommodate [-] spectators.According to Arthur, the Ministry of Magic has been busy working on this stadium for half a year, but George and Fred clicked their tongues, hugged their heads and pretended to cry after being patted by Molly, as if they didn't care about Arthur's statement .

Harry didn't know how the Ministry of Magic built such a large gymnasium in half a year, but he did notice that everything here was shrouded in a mysterious golden light, which seemed to come from the gymnasium itself.

From their vantage point, the field looked smooth as velvet, and on either side of the field were three pitching hoops, fifty feet high; to their right, almost at Harry's eye level, there were A huge billboard with golden text flashing on it.

Harry took a closer look, only to realize that those flashing words were advertisements for the audience in the arena.

Harry saw the advertisements of Nimbus Racing Broom Company, Fengya Wizard Clothes and other businesses in it. Without thinking too much, he took his eyes away from the billboards and turned his head to see who else was sitting with them. In the same box, I saw Hermione with a tangled expression.

Harry: "??"

Harry followed her gaze and saw the pitcher plant concentrating on eating a snack.

After watching for a moment, Harry swallowed.

Nepenthes: "!"

Hermione: "?"

"I don't know what's going on, but seeing how delicious it is, I feel hungry too," Harry said.

Hermione: "..."

Nepenthes also gave him a dead fish eye, to scare him.

Hermione noticed it, and immediately thought that it could understand them, so it seemed that it was an intelligent creature.

The conversation between Lin Ning and the Minister of Magic of Bulgaria, Ober Lansk, ended soon. She looked at the time and felt that it was almost the opening time, so she declined the other people who wanted to talk to her, saying that she would wait until after the final , The Ministry of Magic will hold a banquet, and then everyone will come over for further exchanges.

In this way, she finally got away and came back, and greeted Hermione and the others who came over.Harry didn't know why, so he touched his bangs subconsciously. After he finished touching, he also felt that he was a little baffling. As soon as he put his hand down, he saw his deadly enemy Draco Malfoy, his father Lucius Malfoy was there, and there was a woman, whom Harry guessed must be Draco Malfoy's mother, whom he actually knew to be Sirius' cousin, but which Harry found inconceivable because She was very different from Sirius, she always put on a look like she smelled something bad, but this look changed when she and Lucius Malfoy walked towards Minister 'Lockhart'. It is much softer, as if it has become a good smell.

Draco Malfoy still looked the same, Harry thought.

Lucius Malfoy walked towards Lin Ning with a sincere but fake smile, and he held out his hand: "Minister Lockhart, it's a pleasure to meet you here. I don't think you've seen my Wife Narcissa? And our son Draco."

Lin Ning shook hands with him, then nodded to Narcissa Malfoy and Draco Malfoy. "I think you'd like to come to the banquet organized by the Ministry of Magic after the final, Mr. Malfoy."

Lucius Malfoy restrained his expression and did not show the ugly look of toothache: "Thank you for the invitation." He knew very well that what he got had to be paid accordingly, it seemed that this time they had to talk about liberating domesticated people. As for the matter of the elves, Lucius Malfoy didn't need to think too much about it, and he knew that their family's reputation in the pure-blood circle would be compromised by then.

Lucius Malfoy didn't particularly care. Strictly speaking, he believed that reputation was sometimes worthless in the face of the greater good.Thinking of this, Lucius Malfoy glanced at Hermione who was standing beside Lin Ning. This little Muggle-born witch has already been favored, and it is certain that she will enter the Ministry of Magic in the future.

Speaking of which, it's not that the ancestors of the Malfoy family did not marry with upper-class Muggle families, but outsiders don't know much about it.

After exchanging such pleasantries, everyone found their own seats and sat down.

Lin Ning hugged the pitcher plant, let it lie on his lap, and let it put away all its snacks, and did not forget to clean it up when it was done.After finishing, Lin Ning took out a pair of pince-nez glasses and put them on. After the chain was hung on the ear and opened, the White Queen's voice could be heard.

In fact, this pair of glasses does more than that.

The TV screen that the White Queen watched over there was recorded and can be transmitted, and Lin Ning can enter the screen through the lens of the glasses.To put it simply, this is the re-application of the principle of the Pensieve. The Pensieve is a magic item used to preserve thoughts and memories in the mind. It can turn the memory into a bright silver substance and store it in it. Look at the memory stored in it later. When you are there, you can be in it and look at that memory from the perspective of an outsider, and the people who appear in the memory will not find your existence.

Lin Ningyou applied this principle to the "dvd" produced by the magic world. Buyers can use this "dvd" to watch a movie that couldn't be more lifelike. However, because of the high cost, she didn't promote it much. There is one at home, and it is quite unique - wearing this pair of glasses, people around will not notice anything, and they will think that she is watching the game seriously.

Sports Secretary Beth Whisp drew her wand, pointed to her throat and said, "Loud!"

Then what she said was like thunder, resounding through the entire gymnasium that was full of seats.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen!"

"Welcome to watch the 442nd Quidditch World Cup Final!"

The audience burst into cheers and thunderous applause. Thousands of flags were waved at the same time. Accompanied by the national anthem, the scene was really lively.

Lin Ning's perspective became the same as that of the White Queen, as if watching "Explain Quidditch for You" in front of the TV.In addition to the two special guests Tom Riddle and Dumbledore, this final commentary also has a serious Quidditch commentator Lee Jordan. He is still a student at Hogwarts, but he has won The acceptance letter from the Ministry of Magic TV station, as a Quidditch commentator, his commentary style is full of passion, he can also speak well, and he is not timid in such a big scene. On the contrary, he is quite good at speaking, even his headmaster And Tom Riddle Jr. both joked a few words first.

Dumbledore was very friendly, and even made fun of himself.

Tom Riddle, despite his reserve, did not put on airs.

Everything looks harmonious.

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, is it that simple?

The White Queen also said: "The rune snakes are watching TV with me, and they are silent."

Lin Ning thought that Voldemort must not believe that he could get along with Dumbledore peacefully, even if the two of them seem to be peaceful now.

Sure enough, their conversations took a turn for the worse when Bulgaria and Ireland's mascots, veela and leprechauns, came on the pitch.As the name suggests, Veela people exude a charming aura. When watching them dance, if you are a little bit unsteady in your will, you will be attracted by their beauty, your mind will go blank, and then you will do some irrational things, such as Jump from the stands; and when the Leprechauns come out, they will throw gold coins at the people in the stands, and everyone can't help but use their hats to catch those gold coins, but these gold coins will disappear after a few hours Without a trace, it can be said that both are illusory and dangerous.

Dumbledore just sighed, Tom Riddle changed the subject and mentioned "The Hairy Heart of the Wizard" he starred in, compared this illusion, and then asked Dumbledore what he thought.

Lin Ning said earlier that the performance of the wizard in "The Hairy Heart of the Wizard" is very similar to the Horcrux. If Tom Riddle didn't mean the Horcrux here, Lin Ning ate her pince-nez.

Dumbledore obviously realized it too.

Dumbledore can't say clearly about the Horcrux (he has already confirmed the Horcrux from Horace Slughorn who returned to Hogwarts, and also knows that Voldemort once wanted to make seven Horcruxes) , This is still knowledge that belongs to the forbidden area, and he is not good at bringing unnecessary panic to the magic world, so he can only talk about "The Warlock's Hairy Heart" from the bright side.

Dumbledore's thinking is similar to Linning's, he believes that the wizard believes that falling in love will have an adverse effect on his comfort and safety, and sees love as a disgrace, a weakness, and a kind of emotional and physical influence on people. Resource consumption, or even a disease, is extremely undesirable.

Sure enough, the reckless young man wanted to turn himself into a superhuman, dehumanizing himself as a result.

That's suggestive enough, and it's also poignant.

Tom Riddle paused before saying: "Then you mean that the reckless young man shouldn't be afraid of love, and shouldn't regard love as a weakness, even if it will cause irreparable harm, right? Are you saying that based on your own experience, Professor Dumbledore?"

Others don't understand this, but Dumbledore, who once had an unforgettable love, does understand.Lin Ning also knew what was going on, that is, when Dumbledore was young, he and the original Dark Lord Gattler Grindelwald were attracted to each other by two talented young men, but their brief association brought Dumbledore The death of Lido's sister, and now Gellert Grindelwald is alone in the Nurmengard Tower after being defeated by Dumbledore himself in 1945.

All the while, Dumbledore felt guilty about his sister's death.

So Tom Riddle's words are also very suggestive and heart-wrenching.

Lee Jordan: "???"

TV crew: "???"

Lin Ning sighed in her heart, but she wanted to know where Tom Riddle knew about this past, but after thinking about it, it was actually not that difficult to find out.

In the original book, the reporter Rita Skeeter came up with "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore", and the "Daily Prophet" introduced it as "Rita Skeeter stripped the deep The cloak of the beloved silver-haired sage reveals Dumbledore's turbulent childhood and chaotic youth, his lifelong enemies, and the sinister secrets he took to his grave."

You can imagine what was said in it, and Dumbledore's brother is still alive today, and he is the owner of the Pig's Head Pub in Hogsmeade Village.

Then the White Queen said: "Voldemort Five and Voldemort himself are going mad, Emile."

Lin Ning doesn't quite understand what this operation is. Haven't they already watched the movie "The Hairy Heart of the Wizard"?At that time, I didn't see them "go crazy". Was it because Dumbledore didn't have hatred at that time?

Anyway, the TV show goes on.

Lee Jordan tried to draw the two special guests' attention away from the love story and back to the Quidditch World Cup final, and asked whether they thought Ireland would win or had Viktor Krum The Bulgarian team of the popular Quidditch star will emerge victorious.

Tom Riddle smiled slightly: "Professor Dumbledore, what do you think?"
