More than 3,600 contestants went through three elimination rounds and only less than 100 people remained. The difficulty of the project and the cruelty of the competition conditions were witnessed by every spectator.
There is no way for everyone who stands out from such a competition to simply say they are lucky.
Everyone wants to know more about these warriors.
Lockhart grasped this point accurately. After the game, he led the reporters from "Wizard Events Newspaper" to start arranging various interviews.
He used the magic mirror to set up more than a dozen interview columns to run simultaneously, leaving all viewers overwhelmed.
Every interview column is so interesting.
For example, Lockhart hosted the interview himself, interviewing Hermione, Harry, Ron, Draco, Goyle, and Dudley, guiding the two groups of children to collide and create sparks.
When it comes to magic, Lockhart is a complete weakling, but when it comes to other aspects, such as this, he is simply not too comfortable leading the topic.
It is said that in the future, he will review every interview column as an assessment of his reporters and hosts in order to select better subordinates.
At the same time, he will focus on those candidates who are more topical and the audience pays more attention to, and will arrange a solo interview every other day.
At the same time, whether it is top bosses such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Anton, or masters in certain fields such as Nicolas Flamel, Professor McGonagall, and Director Lupin, or Minister Fudge, Master Akinbad
These powerful figures will have their own exclusive interviews to hear what these elders think of the game, or to comment on the players.
A series of programs such as "Warriors Versus Clash," "Warriors' Stories," "Master Comments," etc. are already being prepared frantically.
Lockhart is the kind of person who seizes the slightest opportunity and climbs up like crazy.
And his past experiences, including succumbing to Voldemort's plans, following Dumbledore's orders to go undercover next to Grindelwald, being guided by Grindelwald to teach Anton, etc., all brought him extreme consequences.
precious resource.
In exchange for his life.
When Lockhart told Anton about his plan, he once complained that there was not enough time. There was only one month before the next competition, which could not give him more talent and room to display.
Anton was so impressed by this that he called him 666.
He never thought that when he held such a tournament, Lockhart would be the one to rise to the top.
It is foreseeable that Lockhart will gain great influence in the wizarding world, and may not even be weaker than the leaders of some international organizations.
Not to mention the Minister of Magic in some countries.
In comparison, Ms. Rita, the Daily Prophet reporter who used to be the most influential person in the media industry, seems to be of a much lower standard.
This woman only knows how to offend people.
Both she and Lockhart were people who were used by Grindelwald, and now Rita is still disliked by Grindelwald, but Lockhart can somewhat speak something in front of Grindelwald.
For example, if you plan to write a book called "The Elders Teach You the 'Arrow Deflection Curse'", you can get Grindelwald to invite you to write it. If you plan to do a program, you can also ask Grindelwald to speak a few words on the program.
Lucius Malfoy and Lupine, who were also among several great demon kings in the past, could not do this.
I have to say that Lockhart still has some abilities.
Many people got what they wanted from this 'Top 100 Tournament', such as Arthur Weiss. He not only saw the growth of his children, but also made a friend who was willing to share interesting Muggle stories with him.
, Jim Hacker.
There is also our Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, who has once again penetrated all aspects of the Ministry of Magic through this game. In addition, Death Eaters like the Malfoy family followed the Dark Lord to America, and they are very important in the Ministry of Magic.
There are simply becoming fewer and fewer.
It can be expected that his reorganization of the Ministry of Magic after the game, using the physical segmentation method of Azkaban Island and the original Ministry of Magic building, will gain authority that no previous Minister of Magic has had.
But Fudge was not a lonely person.
"Muggle Information Collection Office?" Anton blinked in confusion, "Why are you telling me this?"
After the game, Fudge came to the hut to find Anton, drank tea, and talked about this issue with a serious face, "As the Minister of Magic and the person most responsible for loyally guarding the Statute of Secrecy, I must examine in detail the situation in the new era.
Changes, collect more information, and ensure the implementation effect of the "Secrecy Law."
"Of course, times are changing. If it is necessary to change the Statute of Secrecy, I also hope that when the International Federation of Wizards raises this issue, I will be the one who knows the most about Muggle information among all the Ministers of Magic."
"Anton, you know, I am not satisfied with the stage of the Ministry of Magic. The International Federation of Wizards is a good place."
"Tsk" Anton looked at him narrowly, "Nice place?"
Mr. Minister, you have such a loud tone!
"certainly!"
Fudge looked at Anton with a proud look on his face, "I am someone who has the support of the 'Leader of the New Era'."
"Leader of a new era? What is this?"
"Here you are, Anton, Anthony Weiss!" Fudge smiled slightly and picked up a piece of dried fruit from the fruit plate, "How about this title? Anyone with a title in the wizarding world must have achieved very high achievements. At the same time,
A very influential wizard."
"Dumbledore is called 'the greatest wizard of this century', Grindelwald is called 'the most dangerous dark wizard of this century', and You-Know-Who is called 'the most terrifying dark wizard of all time'."
"Now you also have a title, the leader of the new era."
"Perhaps when you start, someone will call you 'the greatest leader of the new era'."
Anton smacked his lips and was noncommittal. "Then why are you telling me about this 'Muggle Information Collection Office'? You know, I don't like politics, I don't have a desire to control, and I don't really want to get too involved in magic.
Go and get involved in ministry affairs.”
"Of course, I understand. For you, magic is everything." Fudge looked like he understands you best. He gnawed on the pulp with a smile and took another sip of tea. "I just hope to gain your support, An."
East."
"The more I get to know Muggles, the more I despise those Muggle studies experts in wizarding society. No matter how much they claim to be close to Muggles, they often look at Muggle things with colored glasses.
.”
"Of course, this is considered correct in the current mainstream atmosphere. After all, you also know that Mr. Grindelwald proposed the 'wizard supremacy' and the mysterious man proposed the 'pure blood supremacy', although everyone says it cannot be like this.
, but in fact many people support it in their hearts."
"It helps to enhance the sense of self-superiority." Speaking of this, Fudge showed a contemptuous sneer on his face, "They won't think about why there is a "Secrecy Act, ha."
"It's just that if I plan to form a 'Muggle Information Collection Office', the only people I can choose are..."
"A wizard from a Muggle family?" Anton responded curiously and frowned, "That doesn't sound like a good thing."
"Yes." Fudge nodded, "This will make many people think that Minister Fudge is biased towards Muggle-born wizards. It would be terrible to be labeled like this."
"so……"
He looked at Anton expectantly and rubbed his hands.
"In order to get more accurate information about Muggles, I plan to recruit some pure Muggles to this office, Muggles who have nothing to do with the wizarding world. My intention is some sociology scholars and the like."
"But such a practice is not allowed. The wizard's department is composed of Muggles..."
"So I thought, if you can help transform them into wizards, everything will go smoothly."
show!
Anton put down his tea cup and said thoughtfully, "In this case, this office belongs entirely to you?"
"Yes!" Fudge chuckled, "At the same time, they are all people who are grateful to you. Anton, I will not let you suffer."
Anton rubbed his chin, "A Muggle scholar transformed into a wizard..."
