Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 41: Magic knowledge update speed
Next year’s Defence Against the Dark Arts class teacher is a double-faced person possessed by the Dark Lord; the next year he is a big star in the wizarding world, only good at forgetting spells that can’t be taught to others; fourth grade is full moon The original werewolf will appear in the night; the fifth grade is a retired old Auror with some mental abnormalities; the sixth grade is Urumqi, ah no, Umbridge; the seventh grade is Snape...
Wright felt that this course should be cancelled as soon as possible!
shook his head, Wright continued to write in the notebook:
Judging from the selection of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor, Dumbledore's requirements for teachers are really low, and there is no academic qualification required. In other words, as long as you have enough practical proficiency, you can take the job. However, this is also in line with the previous educational methods, and does not pay attention to academics.
But it is also possible that this course has been cursed by Voldemort, so there is such a low threshold.
Fourth, about the school textbook issue.
Because it is only the first grade, I can only get access to some elementary textbooks, but if you look at the publication time of those textbooks, you can see a problem.
"The Elementary Transformation Guide" is a work of the early twentieth century; "Standard Spells, Elementary" was published in the 1950s and 1960s; "Dark Force: A Guide to Self-Defense" is a work of the early 20th century; "Theory of Magic" is a book from the end of the last century;
The publication date of "Where are Fantastic Beasts" was 1927; the first edition of "History of Magic" was published in 1947, and it is still being revised; the most recent book is "Magic Potion and Potion", But it is also a book from twenty years ago.
In other words, after a current student enters the best magic school in the UK and even the world, he can get the latest textbooks, the textbooks of his father’s generation, and more of his grandfather’s generation. Textbooks.
As for "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms"? Sorry, it was written in the 14th century.
ancestors have been using it for generations, everyone said yes!
……
Wright closed the notebook in his hand and stuffed it back into Mock's bag. He can understand some situations in the wizarding world: for example, because magic can facilitate wizards to complete various tasks, wizards have never invented machines or used electricity. It is precisely because of this that the technological level of the wizarding society is only equivalent to the level before the Muggle World Industrial Revolution.
But Wright still can't understand some other magical situations, such as the ones written in the notebook just now.
To be sure, untrained wizard children will unconsciously randomly cast some magic when their mood fluctuates sharply. This is often referred to as a magic riot. There are also children who have unique talents and can manipulate their magic power to perform some simpler magic. But in any case, every wizard child should and needs to learn how to control and use this ability through years of education.
As the only magic school in the UK, Hogwarts should have a very high level of education and a complete knowledge system. But as far as teaching materials are concerned, the speed of knowledge development and updating in the wizarding world is really super slow.
Take "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" as an example. Can you believe that there are still schools that use textbooks from 500 to 600 years ago to teach?
However, this kind of fantasy happened to Wright's eyes.
Wright couldn't help but shook his head. Maybe for wizards, they don't need such a fast knowledge update speed. After all, the population is limited, and most people are self-sufficient, and knowledge is enough for them.
Wright quickly put the matter behind him, summoned the flying broomstick to the table again, and began to immerse himself in making his own flying broomstick.
……
The weekend time flies by, and the first-year students don’t have much entertainment. Students in the third grade and above can go shopping in Hogsmeade Village on weekends. Most second-year students also have their own activity clubs. Wright saw the Gobstone Club on the advertisement board in the common room the day before yesterday. The notice of recruitment is limited to two years and above.
And most of the first-year students can only watch the upper-class seniors play with the seniors. According to school rules, the first-year students don't even have the right to bring their own flying broomsticks.
But Wright feels that he has not violated the school rules for the time being. After all, the admission notice says "You can't bring your own flying broom." His flying broom was made in school through his own efforts.
That's right, Wright has already made the flying broomstick through his hard work this weekend. All the spells that need to be attached to the various parts of the flying broomstick have been added, only the final polishing and assembly process. Although there is still a long way to go before being marketed, Wright felt that it was enough as a work produced in a laboratory.
Monday’s spell class and transformation class are still learning floating spells and match-making silver needles. Wright, who has been able to master these two magics, has been commissioned by Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall~IndoMTL.com~ to help Those students who hadn't been able to cast the spell smoothly that they hadn't taken care of. Of course, afterwards, Wright not only gained ten college points, but also gained a group of students' friendship.
The herb class in the afternoon is Changchu’s performance alone. Wright heard Hufflepuff’s students say that Professor Sprout was always complaining to them, why Changchu would be assigned to Ravenc. labor.
The Defence Against the Dark Arts class on Tuesday morning is still held in the large classroom on the third floor. This time there are few more students who can display armor and body protection than last time, and they still haven’t been able to reach Professor Derwent’s Expected requirements. The bell rang at the end of get out of class, and after announcing that he would be attending class with the second-year students next week, Professor Derwent announced that the teaching course of the three spells was officially over.
Defense to the Dark Arts class and Wright still practiced at the beginning, she has been able to successfully display the armor protection. Although its defensive power has yet to be verified, the ability to display armor protection every time has exceeded the vast majority of students in the class.
In the history of magic lessons on Tuesday afternoon, Wright was doing homework for yesterday’s spells and transformation classes. Even though Wright had acquired an identity similar to a small assistant teacher, according to Professor McGonagall’s words: “How can a student Don't do homework?"
time soon arrived on Wednesday afternoon.
Wright and the other students of Ravenclaw came out of the first greenhouse behind the castle. They had just finished a herbal medicine lesson with the students of Hufflepuff. They walked quickly down the sloping grass and walked to a flat lawn on the opposite side of the field.
This is a sunny day, the warm sun shines on the lawn, and the fine wind blows the green grass on the ground. This is an exceptionally suitable day for flying.
