Magic Decade

Where did Rowling’s 7-year-old book inspiration come from? It has become a classic passage that all Hami is familiar with. Does the little girl in the red cloak have a pair of vivid and moving eyes? Do you pass this huge and complex magical world into the human world as you imagined? Once this kind of story is exported, it is labeled as "this thing is also in the movie". There is no picture and no truth. With CG, seeing is not necessarily true.


But the magical world is still made up of wizards. Where there are wizards, there are rivers and lakes, where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes, where there are disputes, there is history, and where there is history, there are wonderful stories. Seven years of growth has been accompanied by the overthrow and reconstruction of the upper social forces in the magical world and the revolutionary changes in the speed of social development. It has completely presented a social face with a measurable long history and a certain level of development. This is similar to Snow White. The encounter with the seven dwarfs is completely different. They are by no means simply putting part of the functions of the real world on a coat of stars and moons and then they are transported on the Polar Express to the magical world. If you say this What does it really matter? It can only be said that it is a completely different spiritual society.


1. The legal system


If one day a wizard holding a magic wand drinks a compound soup to change his figure and come to the real world, then he will be the most likely person to transform into a variety of super heroes in a place of 6 billion people. Kindly, he can not only maintain social order, but also tie cannons to give peace to mankind, store knives and guns in storage, and make swords as ploughs. But if a world is full of blatant superheroes who can use magic to ask each other good morning, what kind of disciplined force can maintain such social order, it must be top-level configuration from personnel to facilities.

Mad Eye Moody is the famous Auror, equivalent to a senior police detective, and Harry's first dream when planning his career. Their task is to arrest and pursue escape, not only must be proficient in defense against the dark arts but also have good psychological quality. There are not many Aurors in the wizarding world, because they have to take the Auror exam while they are exercising their body and practicing the spell. Whether they have a certificate or not can't be verified for the time being, but if the score is not enough, they will definitely not be eligible to become an Auror.

The Ministry of Magic can be regarded as the highest government in the wizarding world, and the entire society, large and small, is handled and judged here. And the Minister of Magic is like a behind-the-scenes man who often shuttles through people's casual life gaps. Every coming and going on stage will raise public opinion in the society. Sometimes such an influence is only caused by the wizards drinking in the broken cauldron bar. Talking about capital, but more often it will be closely related to the fate of the old principal and Harry and other friends. The court trial system is not advanced here, and is similar in form to the Star Wars and the Matrix of the Presbyterians, and the final outcome is determined by the number of people. In the Western world, such a form seems to be classified as a more evolutionary way in human evolution.

The legend about Azkaban prison and dementors is the most magical thing in the legal system. Azkaban is like the Bastille during the time of Louis XIV in France, where all the most dangerous and deadly dark wizards are imprisoned. The entire exterior building, including the interior decoration, is very elegant and scary at first glance. Not only that, there are also unbreakable spells imposed by a number of top wizards. The power of wizards without a wand is greatly reduced, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to attack. The last defense is the legendary dementors. They are like a breath, without form, where the flowers and plants wither wherever they go, taking away the anger and ingesting happiness. These cold-blooded guards who suppressed heavy criminals were once sent to guard Hogwarts. Such a reckless arrangement was soon after the new Minister of Magic took office. Apart from the chaos, it is really not clear what kind of consideration these school leaders had at the time. .

The other two schools invited by the Educational System Triwizard Tournament have deep ties with Hogwarts, which shows that the devil countries all over the world are capable of supporting their own education. However, their systems in this area are obviously more effective in solving the problems of the employment and survival of magicians, which is worthy of reference.

Hogwarts directly compressed 9 years of basic compulsory education and 3 years of high school and 4 years of college into 7 years. The courses taught in potions, fortune-telling, defense against the dark arts, and protection of magical creatures are closely related to the creation of a qualified wizard. . That is to say, the choice of courses does not have the counterpart risk of choosing a career, and learning anything will not waste too much time. There is no entrance exam, believe in fate, respect personal wishes, this is the function of the sorting hat. During school, if unstoppable external forces led to poor academic performance and would not grow up to be abandoned by society, the Weasley twins opened their own shop with their frustrated imagination. This should be attributed to the results of good moral education.

In order to cultivate a sense of collective honor among students, the school has also arranged a competition mechanism between colleges. This system encourages everyone to think carefully when doing things, and it also gives individual teachers the opportunity to vent their hatred. The pressure that Snape caused on the entire Gryffindor in this matter lasted all the semesters of the lower grades. At the end of each semester, Harry and Ron did not forget to bear a heavy psychological burden when they were lighting up the night battle. Want to come to the magical world, the formulation of the system is not perfect.

After graduation, students can choose to work, stay in school as a teacher, or enter the Ministry of Magic for official career. They can earn both fame and fortune, and they can also be paparazzi with entertainment. If they are tired of the magical world, they can also go to the world. Evil dragons are raised everywhere, and the future is diverse.


3. Transportation system

The nine and three-quarters platform of King's Cross Station is Harry's entrance to the wizarding world, and it is also the place where everyone reaches out to touch the wizarding world for the first time. From then on, he knew that what he saw and heard in the future would have nothing to do with his current life experience. The physical transportation on the ground over there is very backward, mostly on foot, and there are carriages. It's not that the wizards lack the inspiration for mechanical manufacturing alone, but that their mounts use principles that Newton and Einstein can't explain.

During the Quidditch World Cup, wizards from all over the world gathered in the suburbs of England through the Floo network. Each fireplace was a starting point or landing point. No ticket needed, a handful of green flames could reach it, and there was no traffic jam. But a large-scale transportation network should only have this form. Their way of doing things alone or in small groups has greatly developed personal transportation. As the first sign of wizards, broomsticks have been necessary for wizards by default since the era of the Wizard of Oz. Light Wheel 2000 not only won Harry confidence in the college Quidditch competition, but also played an important role in his many escapes. The other two great escapes are the speeding car and the eagle-headed horse-winged beast. Thanks to the old blue car in the woods, Harry and Ron would definitely have died in the mouth of a spider. When Hagrid's huge pet was about to be decapitated, Harry was cut off by the others. This kind of spiritual creature was so delicate that a ruffian like Malfoy could approach it. Fortunately, this eagle-headed horse-winged beast survived, and it finally made Sirius the most handsome and romantic escape from the sky.

In addition, the difficult transfer depends on the spell, and that move is the phantom shift. This is a difficult spell that requires a wizard to grow to a certain age to master, because he needs to endure huge body pain when casting the spell, and at the same time accurately grasp the landing place, otherwise it is very likely to be in a different place. There are also Luoqi and Ghost Bus, both extremely stylized means of transportation.

Fighting and killing are inevitable during the medical and health wars, and in the stable period, it is often easy to hide the guns and the arrows are difficult to prevent. Since the story of the wizarding world is mainly concentrated in Hogwarts, it is difficult to find the answer to how wizards without medical insurance in the society heal their wounds, but in Hogwarts, it is Pomfer who has to appear several times in each episode. Mrs. Lei.

She is the school doctor, the person who has the final say in the school doctor's room, who is proficient in healing techniques, decoctions, herbal medicine and other medical therapies. She healed Neville's broken wrist, took care of Ron's bite, restored Hermione's cat face due to the mistake of the compound decoction, and healed her rabbit teeth at the same time. Helped Harry grow bones in his hand, and healed the stabbing of the tree wasp on his shoulder. I also helped Cedric during the Triwizard Conquest of Said. When the flu spread in the school, it was also thanks to her. The decoction that makes the ears smoke can be controlled.

Madam Pomfrey also uses a magic wand. During the early wizarding courses, potions and herbal medicine classes should be her housekeeping dishes, and magical creatures and magical plants should also be covered extensively. Her treatment has always been immediate, but it is not without pain. If the wizard can do anything, the best medical treatment should be to wake up and get everything done without wasting too much time. But Madam Pomfrey’s medical treatment is still the same. The children who have not returned to her house still scream, wanting to be a school doctor or have an objective heart.


In addition to authentic medical techniques, there are also many barefoot doctors in Yeluzi. When Harry was attacked by a dementor for the first time on the way to school, Lupin saved his life with a chocolate. Mrs. Weasley, who has raised many of Weasley’s children, also mastered a lot of first aid knowledge so that they can grow up safely. These skills are the same as housework magic skills. They are not small tricks in the rear. They also require special contact and accumulation for a long time. Can only be achieved.


5. Media industry

"Daily Prophet" is a government newspaper in the wizarding world and the only official media publication mentioned. In the days when the atmosphere became more and more tense in the next few years, the headlines and hideous dynamic photos of the "Prophet Daily" always made everyone panic. However, the credibility of the media is often rarely questioned in the magical world. Perhaps it has something to do with the simplicity of society. The only people who know the inside story are the high-level people, and the only people who raise questions are the excluded niche people.

Obviously, the style of "Daily Prophet" is always somewhat similar to the style of the current Minister of Magic. He once portrayed Harry as a hero and also said that he was in danger. Sirius was also the first one after he escaped from prison. When the news was released, even Dumbledore was not spared, and his private life and the history between him and his younger brother were all taken out to bask in the sun. In the last days, Voldemort returned again, and the speech of this newspaper naturally fell into his hands. The whole society was trying hard to build a purebred social status at the time, and the reports that were beneficial to Harry never ceased. Never appeared in this newspaper.

In addition to the megaphone, this newspaper was also given a strong entertaining color by a female reporter named Rita Skeeter. She is an unregistered Animagus, which means she is a wizard who can transform into other animals but still retains magical powers. In order to steal the gossip, she has been a beetle lurking next to Harry several times, monitoring his private life, and publishing his casual remarks. This shows that there are paparazzi in the wizarding world.


6. The storage medium

ranges from vinyl to tape, then CDs and finally MP-345. I believe that the latest recording method will emerge in the next year. The elimination rate of modern society is so far behind his research and development. efficient. But in the magical world, apart from letting a group of unskilled children stand in two rows of choruses holding toads, the music aspect is basically not involved, but for historical considerations, the storage medium has obviously taken a lot of attention.

The photos of the devil and the character card that comes with the chocolate frog are two-dimensional gif format pictures, and the pixels and continuity far exceed the current Internet performance capabilities. This was one of the most eye-catching experiences on Harry's first train journey. In the following story, Ginny almost died tragically at the hands of Voldemort, just because of the magical diary. Just arrived in an unfamiliar place, it is inevitable to feel lonely. I accidentally got a diary, which not only can be used infinitely but also has interactive functions. Ginny immediately became addicted to the Internet, and became enthusiastic about this instant messaging tool and eventually became obsessed with it. Later, the protagonist encountered more and more difficulties, and he got deeper and deeper in the whole incident. In order to let Harry quickly understand his past, Dumbledore recommended the Pendant to him. There is nothing magical about the appearance of the penis basin, but it is full of Dumbledore's "memories". The texture is like the outer space creatures in The Abyss, and the whole body is transparent and emits aura. The user can stretch his face into the memory of the meditation basin, and immediately feel the overall carrying effect like "phantom shifting", and get a brand new experience far beyond 3D+Imax.


7. Entertainment consumption

Quidditch World Cup is the most prestigious competitive game in the magic world. Because it is not a comprehensive game, it is similar to the modern football World Cup. The training of Quidditch athletes has inherited the concept of starting from a baby. There will be a Quidditch tradition in the big family. Not only the broom, but also the medal and the enthusiasm for the game have been passed down from generation to generation. During the competition, the surrounding mountains and fields of England were filled with tents of wizards from other places. They seemed small but there was a cave inside. While waiting, everyone would barbecue and set off fireworks in a warm atmosphere. This competition is also a very important event at Hogwarts School. The most important contest between the four schools is the annual Quidditch Competition. This competition is also of great significance to Harry. The moment he rode the broomstick proved his extraordinary talent in this sport, and he became the only one who was selected as a Quidditch team in the first year. The student is still the most critical seeker. In the early days, Ginny and Harry had the most contact with Quidditch training, but no one would have foreseen their future development.


The development of entertainment consumption in the magical world is far less advanced than human society, so Muggle consumption culture is also most interested in them. The wizards have basically no nightlife, and the only famous ones are the Broken Cauldron Bar and Fire Whiskey. Without a fashionable clothing brand, children can only be organized to pick out robes in Diagon Alley. On the contrary, Lockhart, who has earned both entertainment and fame and fortune, is very particular about dressing. I think it should be a large purchase from overseas. The purchase of magic wands is the most high-end. Couples who choose wedding rings are less than one-tenth of the fineness of choosing a magic wand. From character matching to raw material selection, from texture to appearance, everything must be considered clearly. The owner runs a small shop all year round. Judging from his mastery of the use of wizard wands across the country, he has already achieved a monopoly in this industry. In addition, the most worth mentioning is the various magical shops in Diagon Alley. From selling new things to personal experience, there is absolutely no street in the real world that can be compared with it. Later, the Weasley brothers finally used their expertise to open their own Weasley joke shop, representing works of retractable ears, quick-acting skipping candy, fat tongue toffee, etc. If Fred is not dead, their shop will definitely be Become one of the legends in the magical world.
