The French Ministry of Magic's meticulously prepared opening ceremony for the semi-finals certainly didn't just feature the Golden Snidget.
After the round creatures flew back to the trees, the forest seemed to move, leading the fans to a swamp.
A black sphere suddenly crashed onto a vegetable patch in the distance. A witch whose face was obscured picked up the sphere, hesitating whether to throw it back.
Finally, she hugged the ball tightly to her chest and left the vegetable garden with it.
The swamp formed by the light curtain slowly transformed into a small wooden house, and a young man riding a flying broom, whose face was also obscured, knocked on the door.
The witch opened the door, and a very large young man gestured something to her.
Even without any dialogue, fans knew that these young people were looking for the ball.
The witch, of course, wouldn't easily return her beloved vegetable garden after it had been vandalized.
An argument broke out between the two, and finally she took out her wand and cast a curse on the young man.
The small house formed by the light curtain gradually disappeared, returning to the swamp.
The title "The Next Day" appeared. The young man who had been cursed yesterday was much better. He was riding a flying broomstick with his friends and throwing the newly made ball into the woods on the other side of the swamp.
On the third day, the young people brought in two stones so that the balls could track them and try to hit them, making the game more fun.
Experienced fans have already figured it out; this is actually the origin of Quidditch.
The woods on the other side of the swamp gradually evolved into the goal, and the player who throws the ball to score is called the "ball catcher," while the two Accio stones have been replaced by a small ball.
As Quidditch continued to improve, the "Catcher" acquired the more formal title of "Chaser," and the "Skipper," responsible for interfering, was given the new name "Bludger."
The images Magical Projection on the screen kept changing, and the year in the upper left corner scrolled faster as well.
The final caption is set for 1269, and the scene returns to the original forest.
More than a century has passed, and the tree in the middle has grown into a towering tree.
But beneath the swaying shadows of the trees in the wind, it seemed that the Golden Snidget had completely vanished.
The 12th century was the time when wizards began hunting Golden Snidget in large numbers, but they weren't yet on the verge of extinction as they are now.
The scene quickly shifts to above the forest, where fans in the stands instinctively grab their chairs or companions.
Amidst their screams, a very primitive Quidditch Match, where only goals were scored, began.
During halftime, a wizard who looked very important took a Golden Snidget out of his pocket and told the players on the field that whoever could catch it with his bare hands during the game would win 150 Gold Galleons.
It's easier said than done.
Golden Snidget is very small in size but extremely fast, and can even change his flight direction instantly.
To catch it with bare hands without magic requires not only extremely high skill but also a certain amount of luck.
But if you could actually catch it, you would definitely become famous, and 150 Gold Galleons was not a small amount at the time.
When the second half started, the players completely forgot about the game, and even the goalkeeper was trying to catch Golden Snidget. The audience used a warding spell to force Golden Snidget, who wanted to escape, back onto the field.
A witch who came to watch the game couldn't bear it, so she cast Summoning Charm to hide the Golden Snidget in her robe.
The high-ranking wizard was furious and fined her 10 Galleon for interfering with the match.
Golden Snidget had already escaped, and the competition ended as a result.
The kind witch saved one Golden Snidget, but she was powerless to save all the Golden Snidget's.
From then on, Golden Snidget established a connection with Quidditch.
In every subsequent match, a Golden Snidget will be released.
Each team has a dedicated player responsible for catching it – the hunter.
If the hunter catches and kills the Golden Snidget, his team will win 150 points, symbolizing the 150 Gold Galleons that the high-ranking wizard pulled out.
The popularity of Quidditch led to a sharp decline in the number of Golden Snidget, and by the mid-14th century they were on the verge of extinction.
Wizards began to realize the seriousness of the situation and protested Quidditch's cruelty. Many players even united to refuse to participate in the games.
Soon, the Golden Snidget became a protected species.
But Quidditch Match without the Golden Snidget is incomplete and its excitement level is greatly reduced.
While most people were searching for another bird to replace the Golden Snidget, a wizard from Godric's Hollow successfully created a small golden ball with silver wings.
It is the same size and weight as the Golden Snidget, and its flight style is equally fast and agile.
In addition, the ball will not escape the field and will no longer require the audience to cast a scare spell.
This small ball was called the Golden Snitch, Quidditch Match quickly approved its use, renaming the Hunter the Seeker.
As time passed, the forest where the Golden Snidget originally lived also acquired a name: "Modiste Labuno Flying Man Reserve".
Modisti Labno is the kind witch who saved the Golden Snidget. Fans who know a little about Quidditch history know who that very important wizard is.
Babru Breg, then Wizard Council President.
Unlike the experience evoked by books and text, reviewing this history through the immersive effects of Magical Projection allows one to truly appreciate how cruel and dark the wizarding society of that time was.
With the Golden Snitch officially becoming the replacement for the Golden Snidget, Quidditch was finally able to continue.
By this time, all the balls used in modern Quidditch had been introduced, and the composition of teams gradually became more complete.
Although it is very similar to the game today, the specific rules and the style of the court are still slightly different from today's.
The layout of the playing field and the rules were not finalized until 1883.
Besides the World Cup held every four years, Quidditch also features the African Cup, the Australian League Cup, the British and Irish League Cup, and the European Cup.
After nearly a thousand years of development, Quidditch has become the most popular sport in the Wizarding World, bar none.
The short half-hour recap not only left fans with many feelings, but also allowed them to once again appreciate the power of the Magical Projection.
Rather than reviewing history, it's more about leading them to experience history firsthand.
Compared to the Magical Projection, the text in the book seems particularly pale; there is a dimensional gap between the two.
Russell, standing in the VIP stands, gave Vincent a thumbs-up, exclaiming, "That was a absolutely perfect opening ceremony!"
There are no extravagant performances or dazzling special effects; it simply draws the audience into the history of Quidditch.
There was amazement at the projected images, pity for the Golden Snidget, and resentment towards those special eras.
Despite Russell's praise, Vincent remained humble, saying, "I only offered some ideas. Without the help of the French Ministry of Magic, this film would never have achieved its current success."
Russell smiled slightly. "In any case, I must thank you for everything you have done for the French Ministry of Magic."
Judging from the reactions of fans in other stands, it's clear that the semi-final opening ceremony was a great success. It will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the Wizarding World and may even be remembered in history.
