Connor's Hogwarts

At lunch, Connor was chatting with the eaglets.

"Although there are not many courses at Hogwarts, there are compulsory courses such as Potions, Charms, and Transfiguration. They are taught twice per grade and require seven grades. The professors at Hogwarts must be working too hard. "Roger was cutting the beef and said without looking up.

"Actually, it's mainly the sixth grade. In other words, the professor mainly teaches our lower grade students. The seventh grade students are all self-taught." Miss Emily Montmorency took over the topic and found that Connor and Roger They were all looking at themselves and said with a slightly red face: "The seniors told me. If you don't believe me, ask Senior Penello."

"That's true. For example, not all wizards can take the sixth-grade Potions class. You have to meet the professor's requirements before you can choose to study further. I heard that Professor Snape's requirements are very strict, and not many people in a grade can pass." Penello nodded and said.

"Actually, the main teaching tasks of professors still fall on students in the third, fourth and fifth grades. The courses for the first and second grade students are very simple and do not require much effort."

The little wizards looked at me and I looked at you, thinking about who said this, until they saw Connor standing up with a wink, and then they quickly stood up and said: "Hello, Professor Flitwick."

"Hello, kids, don't be too nervous. I'm just passing by." It turned out that Professor Flitwick's figure was blocked by the table, and none of the little wizards noticed it.

"Don't be late for your afternoon Charms class." Professor Flitwick said and left with a smile.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and laughed again.

——

There are eight classes in the first grade of Hogwarts, and Connor divided them according to their importance: Charms (language), Transfiguration (number), Defense Against the Dark Arts (objects), Potions (transformation), Herbology (student), History of Magic (history), Astronomy (earth) and Quidditch (physical).

From here we can see where the flaws of Hogwarts education lie.

1. Hogwarts does not have ideological and moral classes (politics). Maybe this is the reason why Hogwarts can breed a lot of dark wizards.

2. There are no physical education classes at Hogwarts after the second year, and the physical education work is not done well.

3. Hogwarts does not have music and art classes, and students’ aesthetic literacy needs to be improved.

You see, of the five major categories of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and intellectual education at Hogwarts, only one is barely able to achieve intellectual education. How can such a system cultivate qualified builders and successors of a magical society?

Connor shook his head. It was a pity that he was a soft-spoken person. Now he could only do his duty as a student and set an example for these young wizards to develop morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically.

Drawing his attention back to the Charms class, Professor Flitwick was standing on the desk giving a lecture to the young wizards. As is the tradition of most courses, the first lesson is to introduce the nature, history and so on of the course. , It's a pity that Professor Flitwick is not like Snape. Flitwick has been talking about these irrelevant things for almost a lesson.

"Okay, now let's get back to the topic. Open your textbook. In this lesson, we will talk about the classification of magic spells and the key points of spell casting."

Although Professor Flitwick's lectures were not boring, Connor still couldn't listen because they were all about the memorization part of the book.

Connor also remembered now. In the movie, it was not until Halloween that Professor Flitwick asked the little wizards to try to use the levitating spell, so Connor's original plan to appear as a saint (13) was completely shattered. .

"We generally divide spells into seven categories, which are Transfiguration, Charm, Jinx, Hex, Curse, and Counter- spell) and the Healingspell." Professor Flitwick's voice rose and fell, and so did Connor's head.

In fact, for Connor, there are only two kinds of curses: transformation curses and other curses. Because other magic spells have magic patterns, Connor can use them. Transforming into a fox does not have magic patterns, and Connor cannot use other transformation spells. You see, the school treats transformation as a separate course, and other magic spells are included in it. You know from Charms class that there must be something special about transfiguration.

Nowadays, the first-year courses are still too simple for Connor, giving him the illusion that he is a god of learning looking down on mortals.

"When we use magic spells, we need to achieve four aspects: correct waving of the wand, accurate pronunciation of the spell, a certain degree of concentration and strong conscious emotion."

In fact, for Connor, casting a magic spell requires only two things: drawing the magic pattern and investing in emotion. Even if the latter is not invested, it will only reduce the power of the spell. As for concentration, you need to focus when you are a beginner, practice makes perfect. It’s cost effective.

Of course, Professor Flitwick's statement is also correct. In order for a young wizard to successfully cast a spell, he must achieve those four points. Most, no, almost all young wizards will not introduce the concept of "magic patterns" when they are initiated into magic, because wanting to clearly feel the magic patterns formed by the flow of magic is simply not something that ordinary young wizards can do, so Old Devin was so surprised when he heard that Connor could feel magic patterns.

Even for a magic painting family like the Lake family, it takes a lot of effort to train a descendant who can clearly feel the magic patterns. There is a reason why Connor became Old Devin's baby bump.

What does an ordinary little wizard feel like when he casts magic? They will feel a surge of energy from their bodies converging on the top of the wand, spurting out, and then successfully casting the spell. The so-called correct action of waving the wand is actually just that the action fits the trajectory drawn by the magic pattern. When your wand follows the magic pattern Of course it is easier to use magic when traveling along the trajectory.

After being exposed to the concept of magic patterns in the upper grades, wizards no longer pay too much attention to the movement of the wand, just like how they cast spells silently after chanting too many spells.

The clarity with which Connor feels the magic is the same as the difference between high-definition 1080p+ and smooth 360p compared to the little wizards, so in this aspect Connor is not even a bit better than the little wizards.

Connor felt that Hogwarts should open a small class for little geniuses like him. Otherwise, he would not learn anything at all, and the tuition would be wasted... Oh, it seems that he does not have to pay tuition, because the Lake family is also in Hogwarts. one of the school board members.

Of course, that doesn't mean that Connor doesn't have to learn anything in class. Although Connor has a strong sense of magic and a lot of magic, Connor actually doesn't know many magic spells. Except for the family's inherited painting magic pattern, Kang The only magic that can be accepted is the fluorescent spell, the iron armor spell and the levitating spell. The Upside Down Charm is a simple extension of the Levitation Charm and does not count.

This shows the importance of reciting the magic spell accurately when learning the spell in the early stage.

Because among these three spells, the first two were taught by his grandfather, and the floating spell was taught by Flora. They recited it once, and Connor knew how to recite it, so he used it.

It's not like Connor has never thought about learning spells on his own, but books won't teach you how to recite spells. It's not easy to recite the spells just by reading books and reciting them accurately. Connor tried it himself. It didn't work a few times, so I didn't want to waste my time trying it.

After all, as long as you listen to someone else recite it once, you can probably use it yourself, so why should you have to figure out how to recite it yourself? I have a bunch of magic patterns to figure out, so how can I have time to try out the magic spells one by one?

As for reciting the spell according to the previous life movie...because there are many uncertainties, it took Connor several attempts to succeed in the Upside Down Curse, so Connor still plans to learn it step by step.

So the purpose of Connor's magic class was to learn the pronunciation of magic spells. A course like this that only talked about theory was really of no use to Connor.

Although he felt a little sorry for the professor, Connor decided to desert. Connor took out Doraemon's pocket, took out the small iron piece, and started practicing his own inscriptions.

What Connor is looking forward to most now is tomorrow's Transfiguration class. Connor wants to understand why there are no magic patterns in his Animagus transformation. Is it because he is a special case or because the transformation spell has no magic patterns at all?
