Chatty Hollywood

While Charlotte and others were still filming "The Mummy" in the Moroccan desert, according to the previously discussed plan, the American ABC TV network broadcast a game video.

Not football, not baseball, not the NBA or ice hockey.

It’s not even English football, which has little influence in the United States, but is the number one sport in the world.

— but a Quidditch match.

——Quidditch match in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Moreover, it is not placed in the time period when animation is broadcast, but in the time period and channel when sports games are broadcast.

——Of course, this is also because there were no real sports matches to be broadcast live during the originally selected time period.

In short, this news has confused "Harry Potter" fans and sports fans across the United States——

The wizarding sports in J.K. Rowling’s fantasy can really appear in reality! ! ? \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Although viewers with intelligence can realize that this is 80% part of the promotion of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the fact that ABC TV Network dares to be so naughty and broadcast this "game" on a channel that actually broadcasts sports events is still disappointing. Everyone couldn't help but be curious.

"I want to see what's going on with this damn Quidditch game. If it's not good, I must call and complain!"

Pierce muttered angrily before "The Game" aired.

In front of him, there was a dozen beers and many side dishes to go with the wine.

——This is Pierce’s regular configuration when watching games every day.

As a middle-aged man who was a quarterback in high school and now has a high belly and only one abdominal muscle left, but still loves to watch sports events, Pierce originally scorned movies like "Harry Potter" . \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

“With that time, I might as well go to a football game!”

In life, Pierce rarely goes to the movies.

As a middle-aged man who doesn't have much spare time, he spends most of his leisure time in front of the TV, drinking beer and watching games.

Therefore, when he heard ABC TV station announcing that it would "broadcast" a Quidditch "match", Pierce's first reaction was ridiculous.

But apart from finding it ridiculous, he was also really curious about what the so-called "Quidditch match" looked like.

In fact, many people who are similar to Pierce and like to watch sports games but don't know much about the "Harry Potter" series have a similar attitude.

——Many of them also plan to watch this "game", but if they are not satisfied, they will definitely lash out. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

In contrast, fans of the Harry Potter series - whether fans of the books, animation or movies - are left with nothing but pure joy.

——Originally, it could only rely on imagination, and only half of it was shown in movies and TV animations. But now, everyone can finally see what a real Quidditch match looks like.

Therefore, people who rarely watch sports games on weekdays also tuned to the channel broadcasting the game this time, preparing to cosplay with fans.

For example Emily.

But this time, Gianna was sitting in the dormitory with her, waiting for the "game" to begin.

Unlike Emily, who grew up watching horror movies, Gianna is very knowledgeable about various sports although she is a movie novice.

In fact, she was a cheerleader for the school football team when she was in high school. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

——Based on the fact that Jaina has not lost her previous personality, this does not surprise Emily.

What surprised her was that Gianna was familiar with the rules of rugby, related events and even star players, just like a real football fan.

"I thought this guy would just line up with the players on the team.

By the way, turn them into your "fans"! "

Glancing at Jaina's "fat" chest next to her, Emily thought viciously.

After traveling to the British Isles during the summer vacation, and even following Sheldon and the other four to visit Hawking in Cambridge, the relationship between Emily and Gianna has improved a lot.

However, sometimes, Emily would still feel a little slanderous towards her roommate.

Of course, Emily will not say it now...\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

In short, after watching the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", both of them became more interested in the "Harry Potter" series.

- Emily even bought the newly published second volume in the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Although this book seems a little thinner than the first one, it still feels good to read.

But Gianna did not buy the original work.

This is not because she is not interested in the sequel, but because she has a better goal to wait for——

The second animated season of the "Harry Potter" series will be broadcast on the ABC TV network. The content is the second "Chamber of Secrets" that Emily has already watched.

As a fan who was drawn into animation from the beginning, Jaina is still most interested in animation. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The ABC TV network also previewed this special "game" behind the animation trailer, so today Emily and Gianna would sit in front of the TV and watch a sports event channel that they rarely watch on weekdays.

"here we go!"

Gianna's low cry interrupted Emily's random thoughts.

She looked up and saw that the TV screen had changed to the appearance of the Quidditch match——

"A bit like the entrance to a football game..."

"Fans" Jaina muttered.

On the screen, the members of the two teams each grabbed their own broomsticks and walked into the vast Quidditch venue one by one, hostile to each other.

The uniforms of both teams are red and green, which are the uniforms of Gryffindor and Slytherin in the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

"Ah, that's Harry Potter! And George and Fred!"

Jaina cheered excitedly.

The characters appearing on the TV screen are still 3D characters, not real people. But compared to previous TV animations, it seems to be much more refined.

"So, is this broadcast actually the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin in the first book?"

Emily pondered in her mind.

On the other side, Pierce, who is a true fan but not a fan, is cursing——

"This is something for children!"

Pierce muttered.

Although he has watched "Toy Story" with his children and even liked the animated movie, he still prefers real-life sports events.

However, even so, driven by curiosity, Pierce still did not change the channel or turn off the TV.

At this moment, Pierce's eldest son Ned walked in——

"Dad, did you see my - wow, is this FIFA!?"

As the son of sports fan Pierce, Ned has naturally been influenced in this area since he was a child.

However, although he also likes to participate in various ball sports, Ned seems to be more interested in sports games on game consoles.

——For example, the "fifa" series produced by Electronic Arts.

Although in reality, Ned, like Pierce, preferred football.

After all, both father and son are typical Americans...

In short, when Ned first saw the broadcast screen that Pierce was watching, he thought his father was playing a sports game.

In response, Pierce retorted,

"Look clearly, this is TV! And it's not English football. Didn't you see the ridiculous broomsticks they are holding!"

"So, this is the "Quidditch" that the ABC TV network was talking about before?"

Pierce shrugged.

Unexpectedly, Ned sat down.

"Then let me take a look too!"

"..."

Just when Pierce stared, wondering if he should teach his son a lesson, the game started——
