Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 490 Quidditch World Cup

However, there is one thing he retained, which is that it can be restrained by the Anti-Apparition Spell.

The Apparition used by George himself was no longer affected by the Anti-Apparition Charm, even at Hogwarts, but the Apparition in his book still had this shortcoming.

He retained this on purpose. Otherwise, if the wizards' Apparition was no longer affected by the Anti-Apparition Spell, it would not be a good thing for the entire wizarding world.

After hearing what George said, the Weasley brothers immediately understood what he meant and planned to sneak into their father's room to steal the book after the game, or go to Diagon Alley to buy one.

At this time, Arthur, Bill and Charlie also Apparated over.

Mrs. Weasley was one of the few wizards who was not interested in Quidditch, so she did not come.

"Good morning, George and Arthur!"

When everyone was present, two figures walked out of the mist of the swamp. They were dressed like Muggles, but they were obviously not very good at Muggle dressing.

Floral suits with long rubber boots, Scottish pleated skirts with South American capes.

They are the Ministry of Magic employees who patrol the perimeter of the stadium. Their purpose is to provide directions for wizards who Apparate or come in via Portkey, and to drive away Muggles who stray into the area.

"Good morning, Basil, Cox!"

George and Weasley raised their hands and replied.

Basil, in his flowered suit, came forward and said with a weary and envious look on his face:
"It's great that you don't have to work. We have been here since last night and have been busy until now."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of parchment and looked at it:
"You live in the first camp, a quarter mile ahead. The manager of that camp is Roberts."

"Thank you, Basil."

George and Arthur greeted the two men and led everyone towards the camp.

The Quidditch World Cup brought together 100,000 wizards from around the world. In order to avoid being discovered by Muggles with increasingly advanced technology, the Ministry of Magic carefully selected a sufficiently remote place.

It took several months to build a competition venue large enough to accommodate 100,000 spectators.

After passing through the uninhabited swamp and the thick fog created by magic, and climbing up a large gentle slope formed by a large green meadow, they finally reached their destination.

"Wow, there are so many people, it's spectacular!"

Hermione and the others couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

They had never seen so many wizards gathered together before, it was really interesting.

The densely packed tents with small flags of various colors hung all over the lawn below stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the open space outside the tents, there are wizards of different ages from various countries, as well as stalls selling a variety of food, drinks and daily necessities due to the large number of people.

There are also fancy magic shows that you won’t expect, as well as various advertisements.

You know, the reason why the Ministry of Magic organized the Quidditch World Cup so grandly was not only for the honor, but also for the gold Galleons.

The quadrennial Quidditch World Cup brings together hundreds of thousands of wizards from around the world, and the profits created by these wizards far exceed the cost of building the competition venue.

Not to mention other things, the money from the 100,000 tickets alone is already a huge profit, not to mention the magic tents for rent and the booth fees collected, etc.

Therefore, the venue of the Quidditch World Cup held every four years becomes a headache for the Ministers of Magic from all over the world.

It is said that the most serious incident occurred when ministers from various countries directly fought each other at an international conference.

Fortunately, everyone tacitly agreed not to use magic wands, but to rely on fists to decide the outcome.

"Our tent is over there!" George took a quick look and quickly found the tents in the first area. After registering with the administrator, he led everyone into the tent that was cast with the Traceless Stretching Spell.

But as soon as he entered the tent, he saw a person.

"George, you're finally here. Come with me to the stadium. The game will start in three hours!"

When Ludo Bagman saw George appear, he immediately pulled George excitedly and was about to leave the tent to meet with the other players at the stadium.

The England team he led reached the final, which was a very glorious period. He showed 1,000% of his enthusiasm and attention to the final.

Whether this final can end perfectly depends on George.

Without George, they would not have been a match for the Irish team that beat Bulgaria.

So he came to the tent booked by the Weasley family early and waited for George to show up.

"Then I'll be leaving first. See you after the game."

George did not refuse. He said hello to Hermione and the others and prepared to leave with Ludo.

Hermione and the others also shouted to George excitedly:

"George, we will cheer for you hard in the audience. You must win the championship!"

Coming out of the tent, he saw Harry who had followed Sirius here. The two greeted him and then entered the Weasley family's tent.

Later on the way to the competition venue, he saw many familiar faces, most of whom were students of Hogwarts.

They came with their parents and family to watch the game.

After walking for half an hour and passing through several areas of magic tents, George finally saw the competition venue on another piece of grass with higher terrain.

The entire playing field looks similar to a football field in the Muggle world.

The difference is that a large area under the ground in the venue was hollowed out, and the hollowed-out area was naturally made into an auditorium.

Deep underground is the real Quidditch venue.

If a venue that can accommodate 100,000 wizards to watch the game was built on the ground, it would be too conspicuous, and it would be difficult to conceal it from being discovered by Muggles even with magic.

But it’s different if it’s built underground. When it’s done, you can just use magic to fill the ground up. It’s easier and less likely to be discovered.

"Dumbledore is here too?"

After entering the stadium, George soon saw Dumbledore talking to Minister of Magic Fudge, as well as Snape, Professor McGonagall and others.

But it's normal. Azkaban was blown up and all the Death Eaters escaped.

Even though Fudge refused to admit that it was Voldemort who did it and insisted that it was an accident, he was still very nervous inside.

Fudge was probably also worried that at such an important moment as the Quidditch World Cup, if the Death Eaters came here to cause trouble secretly, he would be embarrassed.

Because none of the Death Eaters have been caught so far on the run, many people have been impeaching Fudge and hoping that he will resign from his position as minister.

If there are any major problems in the Quidditch World Cup and a large number of wizards die, then no matter what Fudge says, it will be useless and he will really be laid off.

That's why Fudge went to Hogwarts specifically to invite Dumbledore and the school's professors to take charge.
