Basil: "Why are you so agitated?"
He couldn't help but interrupt.
He found it strange that this movie wasn't released until 2023 in his Previous Life, so how come Madison had already received the news in 2017?
Moreover, Madison, a classic American TV show, is known for its cliques, so when did this illiterate bitch character start speaking so coherently?
Madison: "I used to love Disney movies. When I was a little girl, I even auditioned for the lead role in The Merpeople. But I never imagined I'd be beaten by a black girl like that."
Sophie: "Oh, so you got the role stolen. But you forgot you're no longer in Hollywood. And Disney wouldn't choose a third-rate star."
During her time with Madison, she also became much more sarcastic and learned who the six major Hollywood moguls were.
——
Inside the tower surrounded by bookshelves, a female voice, like a narrator, echoed.
"Raphael mistakenly believed his scheme was flawless. But the vacancy of the embodiment of goodness, the restoration of the Academy of Goodness to its former state, and the unprecedented power of Dean Dovi and the other professors made it possible for them to possess such strength. Dovi easily discovered the Blood Magic on Beatrix and banished her. This protected the purity of [—]. [—] also learned the importance of purity."
A huge golden book was laid out, and a giant blue quill pen wrote everything the woman's voice had said on it.
It is called [Storyteller].
It wrote all the fairy tales on the bookshelf, and now it is writing the story of Raphael and his true love, Sophie.
At least that's what Raphael thinks.
Inside the tower, Raphael still looks like his brother.
Now, he was furious. "Why! Why can't the storyteller see Arthur's appearance either! Even his name, even the fake Basil Granger, can't be written."
A cowardly thought surfaced in his mind.
Continue pretending to be Ryan until Arthur graduates and dies of old age.
Having attained the ultimate evil, he no longer needed a perfect balance between good and evil to achieve immortality, which is why he dared to kill his own brother.
If you just wait, wait for the strong to die, then you will be the strongest.
Haha! With his extraordinary wisdom, he always manages to find a solution!
The storyteller's voice rang out at the opportune moment, "Raphael's idea is excellent. With endless time, he is destined to win. As long as he doesn't attract [—]'s attention, [—] can graduate smoothly."
Raphael smiled. "Sophie, my destined bride, it seems I have no choice but to give you up."
However, no one else, including Basil, knew that Raphael had backed down.
But Basil doesn't have the energy to think about these things right now.
In the real world, he appears to be dozing off on a deck chair in the garden.
But judging from his empty hands, it's clear that his consciousness has gone to the club, taking the box with him.
The World Box, in a warm wooden house.
"It's almost 9 o'clock. Hurry up and get dressed," Basil reminded him. "Oh, Scourgify!"
The power of the Scourgify bypassed the red stain on the pristine white sheets.
The ambiguous smell and traces inside the wooden house gradually disappeared.
Madison, who had just been curled up in the corner of the bed like a kitten, wiped his mouth, casually wrapped his clothes around himself, and stood up with a limp.
She walked over to Basil's side and leaned against him.
She said in a sweet voice, "Let's answer the questions today. They can't tell if you're sitting down."
Basil nodded, and the box appeared beside his body, which was in a state of drowsiness.
The two individuals' consciousnesses appeared on the sofa in the lounge.
Sophie appeared in a hurry about ten minutes later.
She glanced at Madison, who was wrapped in a nearly transparent black nightgown with nothing underneath, and was still clinging to Basil's side. She thought to herself, "He hasn't taken his clothes off yet. It seems Madison hasn't succeeded."
She relaxed slightly, her brow unfurrowed, and sat down on the other side of Basil.
"Why is there something black on the corner of your mouth?" Madison asked, taking the initiative.
"Chocolate." Sophie wiped her mouth. "Guess what talent Robin Hood's daughter awakened? Basil, you're not allowed to spoil it."
"Making chocolate?" Madison guessed, observing Sophie's expression closely. "Really? What a bizarre talent. Black people making chocolate, it would be interesting if a white character made milk, and an Asian character made bananas or curry."
Sophie shrugged. "More or less. Her ability is to transform matter into edible chocolate. The permanent kind."
Basil: "No, later in the movie, Dotty —I'll still call her that, it sounds too much like a pet's name. She can conjure up chocolate balls burning with intense heat in the palm of her hand. She does this while laughing and destroying them."
Madison: "Sounds a bit like Bellatrix."
Basil nodded. "Yes, now that I think about it, she was the craziest of your three roommates. Not at all like the harmless person she seemed."
Sophie was surprised. "Really? She speaks softly and always has a smile on her face. If it weren't for her ugly appearance, it would be normal for her to be assigned to the Goodness Academy."
Madison: "Alright, enough about your weird roommates. Let's get down to club activities. Quiz."
Sophie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, what else could it be? You've read the Harry Potter novels and watched the movies at least ten times. You even follow Rowling on social media. Nobody knows Harry Potter better than you."
Basil's eyes lit up.
Madison suddenly had a feeling that disaster was about to befall him.
The quiz ended after 10 minutes.
Just as Madison was about to log off and take a shower, Basil called her back.
"Wait, Madison, I need to understand my world. I've only seen the Harry Potter movies. I have some questions for you."
Madison: "Some details?"
Basil: "A few details."
Sophie wasn't going to log off either. "I want to join too. I'm currently lying in bed, so I can stay here until dawn without any problem."
"Tch, country bumpkin." Madison turned to Basil and asked, "Do you need some paper and pen?"
Basil shrugged. "I have high-definition image memory, and I can access everything I've seen and heard in the past at any time."
"I just graduated from first grade."
"Let's start with the second part. The difference between the movie and the novel."
Madison's eyes widened. "You're only in first grade? My God."
She licked her lips, "I actually—"
Basil was speechless. "I'm 18 now. Traveling between worlds is far more complicated than it's portrayed in novels. But without the system's protection, these seven years of my life would have been wasted."
Madison looked a little disappointed for some reason. "Oh, not 11 years old. What time is it where you are?"
Basil rolled his eyes. "June 6, 1992, Saturday."
Madison: "So you just finished your exams. Quirrell? You didn't actually let the Philosopher's Stone be destroyed, did you?"
Basil: "The Philosopher's Stone is in my vault. Quirrell's ending is the same as in the movie. He's dead."
"I'll tell you everything you're curious about all at once."
"My name is Basil Granger. I am not related to Hermione. I am a freshman in Gryffindor."
"Sharing a dorm room with Harry Potter Ron Weasley."
"Unlike in the movie, the Diary entered Hogwarts earlier and was destroyed by Dumbledore."
"Lucius Malfoy died at Voldemort's hands."
Sirius was released early, while Peter Pettigrew to jail.
"Can we begin?"
Madison raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, one last question. In which world did you watch the movie?"
Basil looked nostalgic. "2023, Youzhou, the Dragon Country. It's just a pity I can never go there again."
I wonder who will benefit from his house and savings.
The twin sister? She's pregnant with his child.
According to the plan, he was supposed to marry her.
He immediately became serious. "Alright, let's begin, Madison."
Maddie gave an OK sign. "Let me think about it. Part 2, Part 2."
"Peeves, he wasn't filmed, everyone knows that."
"Dobby. That's right, Dobby!"
"In the novel, he is particularly apprehensive and polite. He is completely unlike the movie character, who jumps around on his bed as soon as Harry opens the door, and is rude and disgusting."
"He simply hovered the cake and then slammed it onto the floor, making noise. This attracted the owls from the Ministry of Magic. And the Dursley family's guests, the Masons, were particularly afraid of birds, which caused the business deal to fall through."
"The movie completely removed the scene where the Dursley didn't know Harry couldn't use magic. They even removed the warning letter. Instead, they had Dobby smash the cake on the female guest's head."
"Thus, the business deal fell through."
"This is so contrary to his character. Dobby careless, but he's not that bad."
"This is probably why, in the seventh movie, some movie fans couldn't understand why novel fans were sad or even cried over Dobby's death."
"This also misses a crucial point. In the fifth book, The Order of the Phoenix, this warning letter was used by the Ministry of Magic as evidence that Harry liked to cast spells off-campus."
"It was precisely because of the warning letter that Uncle Dursley knew Harry couldn't use magic and couldn't do anything to him. That's why he dared to imprison Harry."
"But the movie completely ignores this logic."
"The film also removed the scene where the Weasley twins used Muggle- like methods to pick locks, which enriched their character development. Instead, it added a satisfying scene where Uncle Dursley falls out of the window."
"On the flying car, they were talking about the setting of House-elf serving as wizards, the Ghoul and Gnome the Burrow, Arthur Weasley's job, and for the first time the location of the Burrow —Autrie Ottery St Catchpole."
"But to save time, all conversations on the flying car were deleted."
"There's also the scene where Harry catches Gnome in the Burrow and introduces Ghoul."
"Continue." Basil was shocked. He hadn't expected Madison to actually know so much about Harry Potter. He seemed to be a complete novel reader. He was very dissatisfied with the movie.
Madison cleared his throat. "The movie also cut Lucius Malfoy's conversation with his son. In it, he advised against openly opposing Harry Potter, to go with the flow and play both sides. He also complained that his son's grades weren't as good as Hermione's, who wasn't a wizard."
"The actor who played him probably didn't know this either. So he had an extra scene added later—he recited the Killing Curse to Harry outside the Headmaster's Office."
"Lucius Malfoy wouldn't dare to do that."
"And the Weasley family clearly frantically splitting up to look for Harry."
"But in the movie, they were filmed buying books in the bookstore as if nothing had happened!"
"Harry's broken glasses were clearly repaired by Mr. Weasley, but they ended up being repaired by Hermione?"
"The novel establishes that Lockhart was a very famous adventurer, Hermione had already read Lockhart's works before going to the bookstore. So it's not hard to understand why she admires him."
"But the movie was cut. This made Hermione seem like a lovesick fool, as if she was attracted to Lockhart's handsome face (Madison gagged)."
"In the novel, Mr. Weasley clearly had a fight with Lucius Malfoy, which gave him the opportunity to slip his Diary into Ginny's book."
"In the end, the movie just had a few casual banter between the characters. The act of stuffing the Diary also seemed abrupt."
The reason why Harry and his friends were late for the train has also been removed.
"They also deleted a very interesting line of dialogue, where Harry said that the Dursley family hadn't given him any pocket money for six years."
"This is also foreshadowing, indicating that the Dursley family treated Harry well before he was six years old, and he even received pocket money."
Basil: "That's a really far-fetched argument."
Madison glared at him. "It also foreshadowed the strange reactions Harry would have when he completely left and separated from the Dursley family in the seventh book. Of course, those strange reactions were cut from the movie."
"These film directors always like to cut out plot points that make the characters more three-dimensional."
"There's still foreshadowing!"
Madison grew angrier as he spoke, stood up, and surprisingly began pacing steadily in place.
"The second book originally had a detective novel feel to it, with Ginny's condition getting worse and worse, a spider inexplicably escaping the castle, a rooster being killed, a missing Diary, a monster in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, a petrified student ghost, puddles on the ground, and a charred camera."
"As a result, the key details that connect them were all cut by the film director!"
"The film has become mediocre."
"Basil, where was I?"
Basil raised his hand. "Professor Montgomery, Harry and Ron were stopped outside the station talking about pocket money."
(Sophie quietly logged off; she didn't think Madison would even think of seducing Basil in this state.)
Madison took a deep breath. "Okay. Next, the two of them will take the Flying Ford Anglia to Hogwarts."
"And then, this lousy director gave us some screen time. What was just a boring journey where we were hot and thirsty was filmed as if it were incredibly dangerous."
"Can't we use this for the previous racing trip?"
"Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Snape, who was clearly the one most concerned about Harry, was waiting at the school gates and caught them."
"But it turned out to be Filch. And Harry's discovery that Filch was Squib came about earlier than expected."
"On the first day of school, I received the Howler first, and then I had my Herbology."
"As a result, the movie was shown after class, during lunch."
"Herbology was supposed to be with Hufflepuff, but Slytherin ended up being there instead."
Lockhart's class schedule remains unchanged.
"But all his annoying little details were removed from his various professors' areas of expertise. He taught Herbology how to cultivate the Whomping Willow, how to fight water sprites with Hagrid, and how to duel with Snape."
"This also shows Hermione's stupidity, ignoring everything that's wrong and always believing Lockhart."
"Speaking of Hermione, she clearly only knows what's in books. She doesn't know anything about the slang and customs of the Wizarding World. Ron is the one who knows these things best."
"For example, Hermione gets called Mudblood in this book. In the novel, she and Harry don't care because they don't know. Hermione didn't even cry. It's the other people who are really angry."
"Then Ron explains the term 'Mudblood'."
"But in the movie, she turned out to be Hermione."
This chapter was blocked, so I edited it down.
