How far is the end of magic from us?

Andy Collins travels to the magical world of Harry Potter and explores the path of magic from scratch.

What is the connection between mind and magic?

Where does the magic come from?

Can magic achieve true immortality?

Andy: I am a wizard, and I think wizards should do things consistent with their status as wizards...plus points!

First grade, Horatio: Headmaster, look, use this scythe of mine to hook out the soul, then lock it in this lamp and roast it with the fire.

Second grader Horatio: Principal, look at this cabbage! It can increase in value infinitely and even kill the basilisk in an instant!

Third grader Horatio: Principal, do you think this soul contract could arm the Dementors into my army of Soul Reapers?

Fourth grader Horatio: Headmaster, look, this gravity magic can pull down meteorites from outer space to strengthen Durmstrang and Beauxbatons College.

Fifth grade, Horatio: Principal, you said if I projected this mark onto the moon, everyone who saw it would be brainwashed into a believer in houttuynia cordata, and the houttuynia cordata I planted in the Forbidden Forest would sell like hotcakes.

Sixth grader Horatio: Headmaster, look! The tree that grows from this seed can convert cosmic energy into magical seeds. Then all of humanity can become wizards, mastering both technology and magic. Conquering the stars will be just around the corner!

Seventh grader Horatio: Principal, look...

Dumbledore: "Enough talk. Take out your wand. It's either you or me today."

Kevin traveled to the world of Harry Potter and grew up in an orphanage without ever coming into contact with magic. It was not until he was 11 years old that he finally received the admission letter to Hogwarts.

Reborn, he just wants to enjoy this magical journey, but as time goes by, he can't help but get caught up in it...

Snape: Kevin? Humph! Just a cocky brat with a bit of talent.

Dumbledore: Kevin is such a good boy who would go to great lengths to help his friends.

Voldemort: Kevin, this unethical and despicable villain! He has attacked me with a crowbar every time I die!

Evan has time-traveled once again.

His first time traveling was from Earth to the D&D world, where he went through trials and tribulations and became a sorcerer of the Universal School.

However, a fierce battle ended his second life.

When Evan opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that he had once again traveled to a magical world that was both familiar and strange.

An owl flapped its wings and flew swiftly, delivering his Hogwarts acceptance letter, but the timeline he arrived in was 1971.

In 1971, a turbulent era, the Demon King was stirring, the Phoenix perched high in the castle, and the towers of Nurmengard remained tightly shut.

And those future heroes—Lupin, Sirius, James, Lily, Snape… at this moment, they are just innocent teenagers, unknowingly walking into the vortex of fate.

This is a glorious era, though not detailed in the original work, it is equally magnificent and filled with brilliant stars.

However, for Evan at this moment, the first thing he needs to solve is how to restore his spellcasting ability in this world without a magic network and with scarce magic power.

Or perhaps, he could go even further, relying on more advanced magical research concepts, gathering a group of intelligent and powerful companions, and launching a magical revolution that would change the entire magical world.

In any case, the times are waiting for Evan's actions.

-----------------

The timeline is set in 1971, in the same year as Sirius Black, Lupin, and Snape. The protagonist has mastered the spell system of D&D, has no system, breaks up the original pairings, is slow-paced, not mindless, and will seriously consider the plot.

"Professor Dumbledore, have you ever seen Hogwarts at four in the morning?" Russell said calmly. "From midnight to six o'clock, get six hours of sleep." "From six to eight o'clock, sweat it out in the Forbidden Forest, including but not limited to wrestling with trolls, practicing riding on unicorns, dodging centaurs' arrows, and so on." "From eight to six, be ready for a full day of study." "From six to ten, study late into the night in the library." "From ten to twelve, practice dueling skills in the Room of Requirement." This is the simple yet fulfilling day of Russell Fishthorne, the King of the Curriculum at Hogwarts.

Name: Scott Trollope

Identity: Muggle-born wizard/time traveler

College: Ravenclaw

Talent: Transfiguration/Magic Perception

Goal: Become the freest wizard

[Scott's personal version of the Ravenclaw Code - knowledge first, cold-eyed observation, calm, and direct.]

"We should let everyone truly understand the power of Ravenclaw."

"Ravenclaw is like an eagle perched in the sky and on the top of the tower. It can not participate in the battle on the ground, but its keen vision can see everything from a high place."

"I don't participate just because I don't want to. I want no one to influence my position and actions. I want to be the freest wizard!"

On the day he crossed the world of Harry Potter and received the admission notice, Ethan awakened the achievement system. As long as he made the corresponding events, he could get rewards.

With three million gold, he has achieved the achievement of [hegemony and wealth can rival the country].

Get the blood of magical animals and achieve the achievement [I'm not a human].

Use Avadaso's life to kill 100 wizards and achieve the achievement of [Gnawing Big Melon Lover].

......

On the day of graduation, when Ethan was seamlessly appointed Minister of Magic, the reporter of The Prophet's Daily asked:

"Mr. Adrian, as the youngest and best Minister of Magic in history, I heard that you have been famous for Hogwarts in the first year of admission, won the Merlin Order Medal in two years, and directly overturned the professor in three years... I don't know why you have achieved such dazzling results?"

Ethan Adrian spread his hands: "I really want to make progress!"

[Slice-of-life story + no female lead + research]

Lin Yi, whose love for astronomy is etched into his soul, is born into the HP world with all the knowledge from his previous life and a super brain that can "remember everything he sees".

He thought he could easily become an academic star in the magical world, but he discovered that wizards' understanding of the brilliant starry sky above them was still stuck in the primitive stage of "divination of good and bad fortune".

How can we tolerate this?

With a wave of his wand and a telescope in hand, his goal is to elevate astronomy from a "required, easy subject" to a "cutting-edge magical engineering" capable of changing the magical world!

From drawing precise star maps imbued with magic to developing powerful spells that draw upon the power of the stars;

From analyzing the probability theory behind divination to creating astrological artifacts based on constellations...

While Voldemort and his followers were still obsessed with pure-blooded people on Earth, a scholar under the stars was quietly turning the entire universe into his magical laboratory.

This is the story of a hardcore academic genius who, in a magical world, uses scientific thinking to climb the magical technology tree, and incidentally crushes everyone else in the process.

Many years later, Rita Skeeter, who had become the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, asked: "When you decided to study at Hogwarts, did you foresee that you would be successful at Hogwarts?"

Mr. Andy Hall, then Minister of Magic, President of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, and holder of the Order of Merlin, First Class, replied helplessly: "?"

"At the time I didn't know a single spell, and I didn't even know I was a wizard."

Rita Skeeter: "So how did you learn magic?"

Andy: "You guys didn't [beep]?"
