Watching a Different Weasley Family

The pots are automatically scrubbed, the sweaters are automatically knitted with animated Weasley characters' portraits, the clocks can mark the characters' locations, Mrs. Weasley is gentle and kind to Harry, Ginny runs upstairs after seeing Harry's wide eyes, and Mr. Weasley witty, humorous and amiable, just in time to come home.

All of these elements perfectly depict a magical, harmonious, and loving wizarding family.

Dumbledore wanted to take back what he had just said; this was much more interesting than cars flying in the sky.

He was very interested in that clock; he had been to the Burrow, and the hands of the Weasley family clocks in his world weren't nearly as interesting.

But what touched him most was the atmosphere of the family.

Ron was surprisingly not ashamed at all, at least for now. His words, "It may be simple, but it's a home," were truly wonderful.

Upon receiving the letter, Fred, who was precocious, noticed the high cost of the books. However, Molly, as his mother, didn't put any pressure on her child, simply saying that they would find a way.

The atmosphere here is better than that of the Weasley family in his world. It's not that they're bad, it's just that this world's atmosphere is better.

He was incredibly envious and longed to have a family like that.

This is devastating for children from broken homes.

Sure enough, Neville, and even Draco, who were in his peripheral vision, were instantly drawn into the scene, as if looking into the Mirror of Erised.

(In fact, the live stream became much quieter.)

(This touched many viewers.)

(This family seemed to possess every virtue except for poverty.)

(Draco insisted, "This is Ginny? She's really mediocre, I mean, in terms of appearance.")

Draco took a deep breath and forced a pretext, "What's wrong with your family? This owl is so old and you still use it to deliver messages."

Ron sensed the sourness in the tone, but simply snorted and ignored it.

Realizing he had been seen through, Draco's lips trembled, and he stopped his slander.

Now, they all choose to focus their attention on the film.

Harry went with the Weasley family to Diagon Alley —via the Floo Network.

However, Harry, due to his slurred speech, arrived at the unknown furnace door.

(Kara Burke: "My shop? Harry Potter came to my shop?")

(Borgin: "Yes, Bok, I didn't recognize him at the time; his face was covered in ash. His scars were also hidden.")

Because of my impulsive actions, I was grabbed by a withered hand and couldn't move.

(Borgin and Burke's shop is an antique shop located at 13B Knockturn Alley and run by Borgin and Burke. But its location suggests that it's not exactly respectable. Its business is almost entirely shady, Dadi displaying and selling all sorts of items associated with Dark Magic or other dangerous things.)

(The Opal Necklace Rupert mentioned earlier is just an ordinary item here.)

(But Harry went straight for it.)

(Even Sirius, who considers Harry to be brave rather than reckless, was speechless after seeing this.)

Malfoy happened to appear and looked in through the window, but he seemed blind and didn't see Harry, his attention completely focused on the Dark Magic items.

Seeing Malfoy about to enter, Harry quickly hid in the closet.

"This is the Vanishing Cabinet," Rupert said. "In Book VI, the Half- Half-Blood Prince Draco used it to bring the Death Eater to Hogwarts. It's also related to Fred and George; they put Montague into the Vanishing Cabinet, and then Montague discovered another Vanishing Cabinet connected to it in Borgin Burke—through the movement of the shop."

(Montague is the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team.)

(Fred: "He must have been there.")

(George: "Otherwise, he wouldn't have recognized me so easily.")

(The Death Eater entering Hogwarts didn't surprise the audience; Voldemort had even possessed the back of the professor's head before, so what was this?)

(And Snape, he now desperately wants to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself; the Half-Blood Prince was his nickname during his teenage years.)

"That big cabinet on the second floor of the school that Filch treasured? All the things that disappeared from there went to Borgin -Bock?" Draco asked in surprise.

"But, Harry?" Neville asked, puzzled.

Harry went in too, but he couldn't sense any movement from Hogwarts.

(Mr. Weasley was also very curious, and he didn't even bother to mock Lucius Malfoy because all he could do was sell things.)

(Harry didn't pay attention; his focus was on the scene where Draco Malfoy was also touching things indiscriminately and being scolded by his father. This made Harry feel much better.)

("That's amazing, how come I didn't notice?")

Dumbledore said, "I know for sure that the Vanishing Cabinet in Borgin -Bock is damaged. Once inside, you can't sense the movement of the other cabinet connected to it, but the one in the school is different."

"However, probably because of the differences between the two worlds, the Vanishing Cabinet in our world is the one at Hogwarts that is damaged."

In the scene, Hagrid suddenly appears and rescues Harry, and then meets Hermione.

Hermione repaired Harry's broken glasses.

The scene shifts to the Flourish-Blotted Hotel, Weasley family are reunited, and Lockhart is signing books there.

Unlike Borgin, Lockhart had an eye for things that could make him more famous. Even though Harry's face was dark and his iconic scar was covered, he saw and recognized him at a glance and pulled him aside for a photo and a speech.

(Sirius frowned. "Harry got lost and even went to Knockturn Alley, Molly just said 'thankfully he didn't go far' and that was it? Is it because of Lockhart? That peacock?")

(Arthur Weasley: "Back then.")

(He was completely absorbed in talking to Hermione's parents about how airplanes fly and the intricacies of charging plugs.)

Rupert said, "By the way, you might find it a little strange that Mrs. Weasley didn't go looking for the missing Harry. But that's to shorten the story. In the novel, the Weasley family are actually searching for Harry all over Diagon Alley. They even went to Gringotts to show how poor the Weasley family are."

"Ugh, look at Hermione's expression," Ron muttered, not having heard a word Rupert said.

(Hermione was a little flustered and quickly explained to Basil, "I was young and naive back then and was fooled by the stories in the book.")

Dumbledore was somewhat surprised. "How dare Lucius Malfoy of your world touch Harry's scar and say that the person who left it is a legend? As far as I know, he has always claimed in public that he was brainwashed by the Killing Curse."

"And why is Arthur so afraid of him? His family was insulted and he did nothing? From what I know of Arthur— "

(Arthur Weasley didn't know what to say. In their world Lucius Malfoy was very powerful and had a good relationship with Fudge, while Dumbledore...)

(He had to endure it to cover household expenses and avoid having his salary deducted.)

Rupert chimed in, "He'll fight Lucius Malfoy directly, right? That's how it is in the novel too. It's because the narrative styles of novels and films are different. Director Columbus thought the villains should be made to look more like villains. Not only do the sound effects and lighting need to be adapted in this way, but the script also needs to be modified accordingly."

"So Lucius Malfoy, who is more like a mortal enemy to Mr. Weasley and has no eyes for him and not even Harry, will be more assertive. Mr. Weasley, who should have been ready to fight for his family, only dared to verbally refute him and his momentum was suppressed."

"The point is, who won?" Ron only heard that his father and Lucius Malfoy had fought.

"It must be my dad," Draco said.

"Mr. Weasley only got a cut on his lip, while Lucius Malfoy got a bad eye hit and had it pulled open by Hagrid like a chick," Rupert said.

(Lucius Malfoy in Azkaban: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!")

(How could that coward Arthur Weasley dare to fight him? Even if he were to fight someone taller and stronger, he shouldn't have lost like that. It must be Hagrid, that Half-blood- Giant, who must have taken sides.)

Ron's expression visibly brightened.

Even when he saw Harry nearly fall off the Flying Ford Anglia, the smile on his lips didn't fade.

Seeing Harry's entire body leave the car, with only one hand being held by Ron, Neville turned pale. "Was that dangerous?"

The scene quickly shifts to night, Flying Ford Anglia lands directly on the Whomping Willow, nearly crushing the two of them along with the car. After escaping, Harry, Ron, and their luggage are left behind by the car, which then drives towards the Forbidden Forest and disappears into it.

(Mrs. Weasley thought her Howler was too lenient; little did she know that Harry and Ron almost lost their lives because of it.)

(Voldemort began to wonder if Harry Potter could have simply killed him without him having to do anything.)

Draco exclaimed, "It's a miracle that Potter is still alive."

Dumbledore, "Is it because of the difference in narrative language between novels and films?"

Rupert nodded. "Actually, it wasn't thrilling at all in the novel, except for the incident with the Whomping Willow. But the Whomping Willow didn't even break the car's windshield. Also, it was Snape caught Harry and Ron, not Filch. He was waiting for Harry when he wasn't there."

"This was also to cut unnecessary plot points, so that Harry would discover Filch was Squib here."

The camera then pans to the Herbology, in the greenhouse.

All the students changed into uniforms like Professor Sprout's, only in a lighter shade, more of a beige.

Dumbledore exclaimed, "In your world, Herbology even has special uniforms? Gryffindor and Slytherin take it together? But what surprises me most is that Mr. Lumbaton actually fainted because of herbs?"

"This is his best subject; even Miss Granger can't compare to him."

Even knowing that Dumbledore wasn't referring to him, but to his counterpart in this world, Neville still blushed.

Rupert said, "Because Neville is skilled in Herbology, the concept of the Chosen One who hasn't been marked by Voldemort hasn't come out yet. Directors usually treat him as a clown."

"The Chosen One?" Ron asked in surprise.

"Him?" Draco looked Neville up and down.

"You didn't know?" Dumbledore, somewhat puzzled, but since he was no longer the Riddler, he said directly, "Mr. Lumbaton also met the conditions of the Prophecy. It's just that Tom chose the Potter family, which is more like him and is also of Half-blood race."

Neville stood frozen in place, as if struck by Petrifying Charm.

He didn't know whether he should be grateful for his family's good fortune.

Because he wasn't chosen by Voldemort, he didn't lose his entire family and become an orphan.

My parents are just insane, but they're not dead.

My grandmother is still alive.

"Please allow me to introduce your new teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts class." The camera has switched to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and Lockhart begins his self-introduction.

The podium was transformed into an escalator, and photos of him moving were hung all over it.

As he rattled off the escalator, reciting all the honors he had received to date, he jogged down the stairs.

Finally, he displayed an incredibly idiotic smile, complete with a nasal tone.

Hermione and Susan in the audience were completely fascinated.

("Help!" Hermione desperately wanted to cast a Confundus Charm on her past self.)

Seeing this scene again, Ron finally realized how stupid that smile and that gesture were.

Just now, he mimicked that expression and gesture—keeping it in front of Professor McGonagall and standing next to Neville and Malfoy.

Dumbledore was extremely relieved that Lockhart had not become a professor, but rather the reliable Lupin.

Lockhart started a pop quiz, but the question was something as ridiculous as what Lockhart's favorite color was.

(Mrs. Weasley began to feel the pinch of the book cost: seven books per person, 35 Galleon. Why couldn't she have used that money to buy Lockhart's books?)

(Some of Lockhart's die-hard fans have also gradually begun to unfollow him.)

Unsurprisingly, Hermione came in first place even for this question.

Lockhart then started teaching practical courses.

A group of Cornish Pixies.

Neville closed his eyes, knowing what was about to happen to him: the House-elf grabbed his ear and pulled him into the air, hanging him from the chandelier.

In the scene, Lockhart releases House-elf.

The House-elf wreaked havoc all over the classroom, creating complete chaos.

Lockhart drew his wand, "Peskipiksi Pesternomi!"

But nothing happened; instead, their wands were taken away.

Lockhart fled in a sorry state.

(The viewers' trust in Hogwarts' teaching staff, built up by the Triwizard Tournament, began to crumble. Hogwarts, is that all?)

(No wonder it's only ranked seventh out of 11 magic schools in the world.)

In the end, Hermione stepped in and used a [Freeze All] spell to control the House-elf.

The camera then moves to the Quidditch Pitch.

Draco Malfoy joined the team and equipped the entire squad with the latest Nimbus 2001. Hermione sarcastically remarked that no one in Gryffindor needed to spend money to join the team.

Malfoy got angry and called Hermione Mudblood.

("How dare he!" Professor McGonagall was furious.)

(This happened right under her nose, and she knew nothing about it.)

(Don't the students in her house ever tell on their teachers? They should learn from Slytherin!)

(Snape's expression turned cold; if he had been in Draco at that moment, he certainly wouldn't have fared well.)

Ron pulled out his wand because it was broken and the Slug Curse had hit him.

Rupert was filled with memories. "These slugs were gummy candies. They were delicious, orange and chocolate flavored, I still remember them."

"Delicious? Are you crazy?" Ron felt nauseous; he was genuinely under the spell, unlike Rupert who was just acting.

The scene shifts to Hagrid's house.

Ron S.P.E.W. repeatedly while holding the wooden bucket.

With tears in her eyes, Hermione explained the meaning of Mudblood.

Looking at the scene in the image, Draco tried to shrink himself, his face full of shame, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

This was half fear, and half genuine shame.

He was unaware that Hermione cared so much about the title; previously, he had simply thought he was responding to Hermione's insult.

So I'm truly ashamed.

The fear stemmed from Basil Granger, Hermione's boyfriend.

Basil is not like Harry.

Although Harry is Hermione's friend and Champion, he is, after all, the son-in-law of the Malfoy family, and they won't do anything to him out of consideration for Draco.

But Basil had absolutely no scruples.

(Basil: Rounding down, I'd also consider myself your stepfather.)
