Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 388 & 382: The Harry Potter movie is about to be released.

Chapter 388, Section 382: The Harry Potter Movie is About to Be Released

The Longbottoms' recovery was a great joy for the Longbottom family and a wonderful thing for the Order of the Phoenix.

Neville followed Dudley's advice before leaving and didn't publicize his parents' recovery. Instead, he had his grandmother find a random excuse to take them away.

The St. Mungo doctor assumed they were planning to go home to recuperate, so he didn't say much and simply issued a discharge certificate. After all, hospitalization at St. Mungo was just a simple matter, and if they could be cured, it wouldn't have dragged on for more than ten years.

So the family happily returned to their old house in Longbottom.

After staying for a while, the Longbottoms and Neville took the opportunity to visit Hogwarts Castle, accompanied by Moody, who could be considered their teacher, having taught them before his retirement.

However, Augusta Longbottom did not come. She disliked Dumbledore; her son and daughter-in-law had joined the Order of the Phoenix because of him.

And what happened? The two were murdered and remained mentally impaired for over ten years.

It's impossible to say that she harbors no resentment at all.

Dumbledore warmly received the group in the headmaster's office. The recovery of the Longbottoms was a godsend for him, as he was already in dire need of help.

But when he heard that the two intended to immediately return to the Auror office to continue being Aurors, he objected.

"I don't recommend doing that."

"The Ministry of Magic is currently under Fudge's control, so even if you went there, you wouldn't be able to regain your original positions."

The Longbottoms are known to almost everyone that they bear Dumbledore's name.

Do you think Fudge would send two powerful wizards to the Auror at such a sensitive time?

Even a fool would know he wouldn't agree. He won't refuse outright out of pride, but he'll most likely drag it out.

"Your purpose in returning to normal and not publicizing it is to keep a low profile, but if the Ministry of Magic finds out, it's the same as the Death Eaters finding out. Bellatrix and the other Death Eaters only recently escaped from Azkaban. If they find out that you've returned to normal, I think they'll definitely come looking for you again."

"Has the Ministry of Magic been infiltrated that much?" Neville's father, Frank Longbottom, asked his teacher.

Judging from Dumbledore's tone, the Ministry of Magic is in a worse state now than it was a decade or so ago.

At least back then they could be considered allies of the Order of the Phoenix; now they've become a third force.

Although reluctant to admit it, Moody nodded, then recounted the events of last year with a dark expression: "I was attacked by Death Eaters and locked in a box for six months. The person who attacked me was Batty Crouch's son."

"The impartial and law-abiding Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Barty Crouch's son?"

"His son is a Death Eater? What do you mean?"

Alice Longbottom exclaimed in surprise, "That's unbelievable!"

It was clear that the two men still held Barty Crouch in high regard, after all, he was one of the few hardliners in the Ministry of Magic who got things done during Voldemort's most powerful period.

"Professor, even if you are elected Minister of Magic, it will be difficult for you to control the entire Ministry of Magic in a short period of time. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom have been out of touch with society for more than ten years. They need time to gradually familiarize themselves with everything that has happened in recent years."

Dudley offered his suggestion: "I suggest that you keep your husband and wife with you, and they only need to disguise themselves a little to facilitate the operation later."

The Longbottoms were quite willing to heed the advice of Dudley, who could be considered their savior.

(With Snape gone, the Longbottoms don't trust him; with Sirius Black gone, Moody thinks he's too talkative and unreliable.)

Moody chimed in, "Drusley's right, Dumbledore, you need some reliable helpers too. You can't expect an old man like me to help you after you take office, can you?"

Dumbledore nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

"Then you'll live at Hogwarts from now on."

"Yes, Professor. We haven't been back for many, many, many years."

I was going to casually say that it would be several years after graduation, but then I remembered that I had been mentally impaired for more than ten years, so I could only silently change the time. When I woke up, more than ten years of my youth had suddenly disappeared, and the familiar people and things had all changed. Even my son, who was only a tiny little boy, had grown up to be so big. Only my wife had been with me all this time. It would probably take a long time to accept it if someone else were to take over.

Thus, Hogwarts gained two mysterious wizards, whose identities remained unknown to anyone.

Whenever the young wizards asked about their origins...

Dumbledore would always smile and tell them, "Your future Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Given that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts change every year, this statement is indeed plausible.

Just as Fudge, Dumbledore, and Voldemort were all holding back, waiting for their chance, a headline in the Daily Prophet caught the attention of all wizards in Europe.

The first-ever feature film in wizarding history—Harry Potter—is scheduled to premiere on March 1st.

Below the title is a small line of text: "Officially authorized by Mr. Potter, revealing the secrets of that year."

This news immediately drew massive attention, even overshadowing the top spot on the wizard card rankings. Almost all wizards were discussing it, including the young wizards studying at Hogwarts.

Entertainment options in the wizarding world are extremely limited, and there's nothing like TikTok. Even young wizards can only pass the time by buying newspapers and magazines like the Daily Prophet, The Dissenting Voices, and Poisons and Antidotes.

"Big Movie"

Many young wizards were muttering this unfamiliar word.

"What is a movie?"

A young wizard, clearly from a wizarding family, asked, saying it was the first time he had ever heard the word.

"An activity like Quidditch?"

"Of course not," the young wizard from a Muggle family next to him immediately replied. "It's something that presents a story to us in the form of moving images. A movie is about several tens of minutes long. I often go to see movies with my parents in the Muggle world."

"Cool! That would be really fun!"

One question has been answered, but many more questions have arisen as a result.

"Then why is it called the Harry Potter movie?"

"Is this a movie told from Mr. Potter's perspective?"

"You'll have to ask Mr. Potter. Isn't it clearly written in the introduction? It will reveal the secrets of that year."

"What? There's even 'small' in it? You have sharp eyes."

"."

Such discussions were frequent at Hogwarts.

Of course, there were also dissenting voices.

"Mr. Potter was less than a year old when he defeated Mystic, how could he possibly remember what happened back then?"

That makes a lot of sense, but...

"Don't you know that memories can be extracted? You can just take a look at them, right?"
