Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

After drinking butterbeer, Harry and his friends didn't linger at the Three Broomsticks, leaving after a short rest.

On the streets of Hogsmeade, sunlight spilled across the wide road as the three of them walked through the bustling crowd of wizards, heading towards the magic cinema that was already marked on their map.

After passing a small shop selling magical joke items, the cinema came into view.

It was a lavishly decorated building with a huge billboard in front, flashing the words "The Legend of Merlin," along with several dynamic images showcasing exciting scenes from the movie.

"Cool!" Ron cheered, pulling Hermione and Harry quickly towards the entrance of the cinema.

Upon entering the cinema, the trio was immediately stunned by the scene before them.

The cinema lobby was even grander than they had imagined, with colorful orbs of light floating everywhere, and three huge magic screens hanging on the walls, labeled: 'Big Screen Edition,' 'Immersive Edition,' and 'Merlin's Perspective Edition.'

Behind the counter, the wizard ticket seller was enthusiastically introducing the differences between the various viewing options to the customers.

"The Big Screen Edition, as the name suggests, is for watching the movie on a super-large screen."

"You've all seen magic televisions, right? You can imagine what it's like to watch a super-large magic television."

A voice came from the crowd: "That's no better than watching a magic television at home."

"What? You say it's no better than watching it on a magic television at home?"

The ticket seller said exaggeratedly, "Then you don't know! The sound effects here are absolutely incredible."

"Our surround sound system can transmit every subtle sound in the movie, whether it's intense battles, footsteps, spell sounds, or character dialogue—something a magic television simply can't compare to."

"The booming bass will make you feel like you're right there in the movie scene; this immersive experience is hard to achieve on a home magic television."

"Of course," the ticket seller continued, changing his tone, "Swann Alchemy has just launched a home theater series of alchemical products. If you're interested, you can take a look at Swann Alchemy, but remember to have your wallet ready—it's much more expensive than movie tickets."

Ron couldn't help himself and stepped forward, asking loudly, "What's the Immersive Edition like?"

"You've come to the right person to ask," the ticket seller said with a slight smile, introducing enthusiastically, "The Immersive Edition lets you step into the movie scene."

"You'll travel among various film characters, personally experiencing all the details of the movie."

"It feels just like using a Pensieve."

"Of course, there isn't a Pensieve big enough for all the audience members to use, so we use a similar technology here."

"Secretly telling you," the ticket seller lowered his voice, "this is magic that our boss got from the first Dark Lord, Grindelwald."

"Grindelwald even used this magic to hold meetings for the Acolytes."

"Merlin's beard!" An exclamation came from the crowd; everyone was shocked by the news.

It was actually magic used by Grindelwald, and he even used it to hold meetings for the Acolytes.

It was definitely worth seeing!

"What about Merlin's Perspective Edition?" A question came from the crowd. "How is it different from the other two?"

"To watch Merlin's Perspective Edition, you need to wear special viewing glasses."

The ticket seller took out a pair of cool-looking alchemical glasses to show everyone.

"Wearing these viewing glasses, you'll experience the entire story from Merlin's perspective."

"In other words, you'll take on Merlin's identity to adventure and grow, expand your influence in the magical world, defeat dark creatures, make allies, and live a legendary life."

After listening to the ticket seller's introduction, the surrounding wizards stepped forward to buy tickets, choosing their preferred viewing method.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione gathered together, quickly discussing which movie tickets to buy.

Hermione couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought there would be so many choices for watching a magic movie; it's even more diverse than the viewing options in the Muggle world."

"We need to be quick," Ron said anxiously. "The 2 PM showing of Merlin's Perspective Edition is already sold out; only the Big Screen Edition and Immersive Edition still have tickets available."

"If we wait any longer, we'll only be able to buy tickets for the 4 PM showing."

"In that case," Harry couldn't help but say, "let's experience the Immersive Edition today and try the other movie versions when we have time later."

Harry's suggestion was unanimously approved by Ron and Hermione.

After buying the tickets, Harry offered to treat everyone to an iced cola and a bucket of popcorn, and then they walked into Viewing Room Two to begin their cinematic journey.

...........................

While Harry and his friends were immersed in the thrilling experience of the magic movie, on the other side, Sebastian and Mia quietly left Hogwarts and arrived at the Hogsmeade branch of Swann Alchemy.

Despite being called a "branch," the building was magnificent and imposing, not inferior to the headquarters.

The two of them rode the magic elevator all the way up to a resplendent office on the top floor.

Sebastian raised his hand and gently pushed open the door. When he saw the familiar figure behind the desk, a sly smile appeared on his face.

"Grandpa, your grandson and granddaughter-in-law have come to see you."

The person behind the desk was Sebastian's grandfather, Anton Swann.

Although he was already 93 years old, he still looked energetic, with bright blue eyes that revealed a gleam of wisdom.

At the moment, he was wearing a simple wizard's robe, sitting there handling official business.

Hearing Sebastian's voice, Anton first showed a warm smile, looking at Mia with loving eyes.

"Mia's here, come sit down and rest."

"Have you had lunch? If you haven't, I'll have the kitchen make you something good to eat."

"Are you thirsty? Would you like something to drink?"

"Grandpa, we've already eaten; we just came to see you," Mia said with a sweet smile.

"That's good, that's good," Anton looked at Sebastian, deliberately putting on a stern face. "You little rascal, you still know to come see Grandpa."

He frowned, his tone carrying a hint of complaint: "I was doing so well with my research in the main research lab, and now, at such an old age, I have to run to Hogsmeade to deal with these chores."

"It's killing me; it's simply exhausting."

After speaking, he glared fiercely at Sebastian, as if blaming him for making him suffer such a great grievance.

Sebastian chuckled and came behind Anton, diligently massaging his shoulders.

"Being a professor is really too busy. You see, I came to see you as soon as I had some free time."

"Hogsmeade is of great importance; I don't trust anyone else to handle it."

"I can only trouble you to come out of retirement again; you've worked hard. Let me massage your shoulders for you."

"Hmph, you slippery little brat," Anton hummed. Although there was some complaint in his words, the affection and pride in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

He leaned back comfortably in his chair, enjoying Sebastian's massage, and said softly.

"Since you're here, let's chat. What brings you here today?"
