Chapter 258 Dumbledore who loves candy~
It is now the end of June, and "Blue and White Porcelain" has set off a wave of explosion in Daxia culture.
The 45 million downloads in the first month broke the historical record again, almost doubling Iron Man’s own record of 23 million for “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”.
Become the uncrowned king of Daxia singing!
Only Iron Man can defeat Iron Man!
On the other side of the ocean, while some adult readers are still immersed in the death of Sherlock Holmes and criticize the new book for being too childish, "Harry Potter" has become the most popular reading material among children.
The protagonists are a group of teenagers, who inevitably engage in various games, which can be said to be very imaginative.
There are various courses in the magic school, such as divination, transfiguration, potions... novel and interesting.
Extracurricular activities are even more unique, such as the Quidditch game where players fly in the sky on broomsticks, the Three Gun Tournament where magic schools compete for the Goblet of Fire, etc. These games are exciting, interesting and highly playful.
There are also Peeves, house-elves, candy-loving Headmaster Dumbledore, the giant Hagrid who likes to raise strange animals, etc., which are full of entertainment and gaming spirit.
Both the characters and the settings make people feel as if they are in a real world of magic and witchcraft.
The hottest topic in school is Harry Potter.
Not to mention, Lin Mo had just played his first card.
A small town near London with only one bookshop.
Usually there are only a few people here, and many adults buy a cup of coffee to enjoy a day of reading.
However, on a Sunday in June, the door was crowded with children chattering.
Because today Hulk's new book "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was released.
The previous stories have already opened up the children's imaginations and made them immersed in the world of magic and witchcraft.
Although the boss Henry had anticipated today's situation, he was still shocked when he arrived at the store at 9 o'clock.
"Oh my God! Are all the children in the town here?"
"Mr. Henry, you're late!"
"Mr. Henry, has Harry arrived?"
"Mr. Henry, is there a copy of the new book for me today? There were only two or three people there when I came!"
“……”
A group of children chattered, and the quiet town suddenly became lively.
"Hey babies, we have everything, get in line!"
The last time "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was released, George was late, and as a result, there was no stock and he had to wait for a week.
Although he had already read the book his friend bought, he still felt extremely regretful for getting up late and missing out on the first-hand new book.
Having learned from his experience, he started waiting at 7 o'clock today, when it was still dark.
The first thing he noticed when he got it was that the book was much heavier than usual and didn't seem to be very flat.
"Huh? What's caught?"
When he opened it, he was dumbfounded. He looked at the badge in his hand with a metallic luster and a bright flag, which was completely still in place.
The friend next to him took a look, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly, which immediately exploded the whole audience!
"FXXX! The Hogwarts emblem!!!"
The flags of the four colleges put together have a big H in the middle. Although it is not described in detail in the book, it does not prevent children from recognizing it at first sight. It is the emblem of the magic school!
“!!!”
The children behind heard it and started rushing forward, wanting to come over and take a look immediately.
Henry was frightened when he saw it. He had originally wanted to give the children a reminder and a surprise.
Who knew that everyone was so quick to act and speak? Seeing the crowd coming in so aggressively, he was afraid that there would be a stampede.
I quickly shouted, "Be careful, don't push, everyone has one!"
"Oh my god!"
"I can't believe it, I'm a member of Hogwarts now! Please call me young wizard!"
“I want to collect it for life!”
"I'm going to take it to school tomorrow!"
"Be careful John might snatch your treasure~"
Without waiting for his friend's praise, George paid the money, grabbed the brooch and rushed out.
No one could understand the joy and excitement in the heart of a 12-year-old boy at this moment.
In the years that followed, this was a day that he would recall vividly and with deep memories.
However, he left too early.
I didn’t realize that this book actually has 6 different gifts.
It's all brooches, but there's also the Sorting Hat and the four houses' own emblems.
Gryffindor is a red and gold house, and its symbolic animal is the lion.
The green and silver Slytherins are silver snakes.
The blue and silver Ravenclaw is the silver eagle.
Hufflepuff is yellow and black, and its symbolic animal is the badger.
“So cool!”
"I want Slytherin!"
"Harry is in Gryffindor, are you sure you don't want a lion?"
"Oh my god, I want to collect the whole set!"
In the end, in this small town with average spending power, not only did everyone have a copy, but the kids with more pocket money collected a set, formed a small circle, and began exchanging and scalping.
Henry's bookstore was bustling with activity for several weeks.
Although he opened the shop because he liked the peaceful atmosphere surrounded by books and knowledge, how could money not be attractive?
He can almost buy a new car with the earnings from the past two weeks...
Similar situations are happening everywhere Harry Potter is a hot seller.
At first, North American readers were puzzled when they saw the brooch, but soon reality taught them a good lesson.
With a price of $15, online sales of over 10 million copies remain strong.
But surprisingly, the $22 paper book sold 18 million copies.
“!!!”
"grass!"
"Oh my god!"
"Eighteen million copies?"
"Mr. Duo? How much did you say?"
"$500 million?! For one book?"
"How did he do that?"
And how long has it been on sale? Less than a month?!
With the development of the Internet today, the sales of paper books have declined significantly due to high prices, transportation, inventory and other issues. The sales of many paper books are less than 10% of e-books.
But this operation shocked the entire literary and publishing circles!
“The paper book is resurrected?”
"Didn't you see the giveaway?"
"Can a giveaway cause such a sales frenzy?"
"I thought the same thing as you at first, until I found out my son bought 6 identical books just to get that damn brooch..."
“…”
