Chapter 32 It turns out to be the world in the book
...
"Hermione, don't worry, you are so good, there will be no problem with sorting!"
Jerry looked at Hermione, who started to recite the fourteen magic spells in the textbook over and over again after Professor McGonagall left. She looked very nervous, and helplessly comforted her in a low voice.
He knew that the so-called sorting ceremony had nothing to do with things like magic and spells. It just meant putting on a hat, and then the hat would determine which house you fit in based on your character and bloodline.
If you meet the characteristics of multiple colleges, you can also chat with Mr. Hat and choose the one you like.
Just like in the movie, Harry qualified for both Gryffindor and Slytherin, but in the end he chose Gryffindor and was sorted into Gryffindor.
However, he couldn't tell Hermione this, after all, he couldn't explain why he knew the details of the sorting ceremony.
"How could they exactly assign us to which college?"
"I guess you have to pass a test. Fred said it would hurt us a lot, but I think he was joking."
At this time, the conversation between Harry and Ron on the other side also reached Jerry's ears.
He took a closer look and saw that there were more than forty little wizards in the room. Except for some little wizards who were born into pure-blood families like little Malfoy, most of the other little wizards were as nervous as Hermione.
Because most of them had the same idea as Hermione, they thought that the sorting ceremony might be decided by testing magic.
However, they are not Hermione. Most of the young wizards are actually the same as Harry and Ron. Currently, they cannot even successfully cast a spell.
Even children born into pure-blood wizarding families such as Malfoy may have been exposed to magic earlier than young wizards born into Muggle families, but in fact their magic level is not much higher than that of young wizards born into Muggle families.
go.
According to a short video that Jerry saw on a certain video in his previous life, it seems that the magic blood in young wizards' bodies will not stabilize until they are eleven years old, and they can learn to use magic.
Moreover, there is no difference in personality between children from wizard families and children from ordinary families. Except for children like Hermione, few children of this age are interested in calming down and delving into difficult and difficult magical knowledge.
.
Doesn’t flying broomsticks taste good to him? Doesn’t magic snacks taste good to him? Doesn’t it taste good to go shopping in Diagon Alley?
However, children born into wizarding families should be more knowledgeable after all. At least Ma Erfu and others will know what the sorting ceremony is all about.
But in their opinion, the panicked look of those little Muggle-born wizards was a very nice sight. Why should they tell them the truth?
As for Ron and Neville, who were born in the same wizarding family, Ron was born because he had two powerful brothers, George and Fred, and Neville had a bad memory. Even if his grandmother mentioned it, he might not be able to remember it.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Just when the little wizards were immersed in the tension of sorting, a few screams suddenly broke the dull atmosphere in the room.
Jerry turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
It turned out that there were more than twenty translucent ghosts that passed through the wall, flying around above the heads of the little wizards, waving to them and saying hello.
"Okay, everyone, come out and follow me in a row. The sorting ceremony is about to begin!"
At this time, Mag appeared at the door of the hut again, and those wandering ghosts also filed into the wall and disappeared.
…
"This is really... quite a magical scene!"
Jerry and the little wizards lined up and followed Professor McGonagall into the luxurious auditorium. Looking at the scene in the auditorium, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts again.
Perhaps because it was an important opening banquet and branching ceremony, the auditorium was decorated extremely gorgeously.
Tens of thousands of candles that had been cast a floating spell floated in the sky above the auditorium instead of the magic chandelier, illuminating the entire auditorium.
The four long tables in the auditorium were filled with little wizards, and the golden plates and silver goblets sparkled in the candlelight.
What struck Jerry the most was the ceiling of the auditorium.
If you didn't observe carefully, you would think that the sky above the auditorium is open air, because when you look up, you can see the bright and beautiful stars hanging there.
Stopping under the podium between the deans' table and the teachers' table of the four universities, Jerry saw Professor McGonagall first bringing a four-legged stool and placing it on the podium.
Then he brought another hat that was patched, worn, and dirty.
"This must be the ancient Sorting Hat that is the same age as Hogwarts!"
It seems that the Sorting Hat was originally an ordinary hat owned by Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Hogwarts. Later, the four founders jointly used magic to inject ideas into it. It has a hat that can help young wizards choose houses based on their characteristics.
Ability.
Being able to give an inanimate substance an independent thought and personality, Jerry sometimes really feels that the magic of the "Harry Potter" world is very powerful.
Its power does not lie in its destructive power, but in its very idealism, without any scientific basis, it is just - it is really magical!
"You may think I'm not pretty,
But never judge a book by its cover,
If you can find a prettier hat than mine,
I can eat myself.
..."
The hat twisted on the stool and opened a wide slit, like a mouth, and began to sing loudly its own song of sorting.
What's even more outrageous is that after the hat finished singing, he saw the little wizards below applauding thunderously, and he stood up like a gentleman and bowed very elegantly.
Have you ever seen a hat bow to you?
Definitely not. This was the first time Jerry saw it. He didn't seem to see this scene when he was watching movies in his previous life.
"Whoever's name I call now will put on his hat, sit on the stool, and wait for the sorting."
Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward with the parchment, slowly opened it and read:
"Hannah Abbott!"
A little girl with a rosy complexion and two golden braids stumbled out of the queue.
"Iron Hannah!"
Looking at the little girl wearing the Sorting Hat sitting on the four-legged stool, Jerry finally knew what he had always felt was wrong.
It turns out that this is not the "Harry Potter" world of the movie, but the "Harry Potter" world of the book.
Because he remembered very clearly that in the movie, Hermione Granger was the first to be sorted, while Hannah Abbott was the first to be sorted in the book.
In his previous life, he had seen the "iron-hard Hannah" joke in many short videos.
But the key point is that in his previous life, he only watched a few movies on TV, and did not go out to read the original works.
This... the difference between the movie and the original work shouldn't be that big!
Maybe!
