Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

Perhaps because he returned to his hometown, the moment he stepped out of the Woolworth Building where the Magic Congress is located, Andre's mental state seemed to have been greatly improved. Even the expression on his face was

It's more stretched and softer in the UK.

As he strode forward, he half-turned his head and non-stop introduced to Charlie the various features and situations of the American wizarding world.

It can be seen that even when they were in the car, Andre did not show much pride when talking about the American wizarding world with Charlie, but instead complained and disdained it. Complaining about its strictness and disdain for its old-fashioned.

However, after finally coming back again, the deep nostalgia for this place where he had lived for decades was still unconsciously displayed through his body language, demeanor, and all aspects without reservation.

Coordinating the other party's pace, Charlie followed Andre slowly and slowly. Since the moment he walked out of the Woolworth Building, his eyes have been looking around everything around Broadway Street in New York. From the tall buildings layered on top of each other,

, and then to the pedestrians strolling leisurely around me, all of them were caught in my eyes at once.

Charlie felt quite strange about this apparently exotic place...

He really didn't expect that the Magical Congress, the heart of the American wizarding world, would be so grandly located on Broadway, and even had a house number... Compared to the British Ministry of Magic, which was built underground, it could only be

Entering through the phone booth and the toilet is extremely eye-catching.

You know, the attitude of the American wizarding community towards No-Majs is more than a little more cautious than that of the British wizarding community!

For a moment, a huge sense of absurdity and dissonance emerged in Charlie's mind, causing the corners of his mouth to curl up a bit.

He could feel that the American wizarding world, American society and No-Majs were completely intertwined. They did not have wizarding shopping streets such as Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, nor did they have Hogsmeade and Takamaki.

A gathering place for pure wizards like the Yak Valley. They are like No-Majs, living in every ordinary house and on every ordinary street.

Think about it, if you are an ordinary No-Maj living in the United States, your neighbor on the block may be a wizard, even if he wears a blue striped suit that is very different from you every day, and wakes up every morning and

You are the same, carrying a half-used briefcase, kissing your wife and children goodbye, and getting on the bus to go to work.

And the building that you occasionally glance at when you get off work every day, but never enter, might be an institution or shop dedicated to serving wizards...

And under such a realistic situation, the American wizarding community is still the most conservative and resistant to communicating with No-Majs in the world.

"It's really...interesting" Charlie thought silently in his heart.

However, just when Charlie was thinking about himself and making many associations, Andre did not notice the change in him at all. He continued to speak and gestured unconsciously, and even his voice was full of a kind of

I've never felt more natural and relaxed than when I was in the UK.

"Ebbindale Wizarding Emporium... and the House Elf Training School."

Suddenly, as if he noticed something, Charlie's originally divergent gaze refocused on Andre. He raised his eyebrows, then interrupted Andre's words, and asked with a bit of curiosity in his words.

"Wizard's Department Store?"

"Yes, Ebbingdale Wizard's Department Store."

Obviously, Andre was not surprised that Charlie would be interested in the department store.

After all, as a qualified and excellent businessman, maintaining sensitivity to new things is an indispensable basic trait.

He spread his hands, slowed down his original pace a little, and changed from walking in front of Charlie to walking side by side, and then began to talk to Charlie in detail about some specific matters about Ebbindale Wizarding Department Store.

"It's almost the largest Wizard's Department Store in the United States, and it's right in New York City, not far from Broadway."

Andre said, and stopped walking. He turned his feet, pointed in another direction, and signaled:

Gu Jiu

"It's right over there. If you want to go, let's go take a look now."

However, what Andre didn't expect was that Charlie waved his hand.

"Forget it, let's wait. Anyway, there is still a lot of time. After all, I have to live here for a long time."

When Andre heard this, he could only nodded and continued to lead Charlie forward.

“We are actually also considering the Wizarding Stores Building in Ebbingdale.”

Although he didn't go there, Andre continued to chat with Charlie on this topic while walking.

"We plan to write more articles on Ebbingdale Wizards Department Store and Wizards Broadway. Focus on the latter two places."

“Wizard Broadway?”

Charlie feels that ever since he arrived in the United States, his knowledge has been constantly refreshed.

"What is that thing again?"

"A place dedicated to providing performances for wizards."

Andre smiled reservedly, seeming to like the other person's eagerness for knowledge and eagerness to learn, so he explained again without hesitation.

"Most of the time it's some old-fashioned stage show performances, like "The Cuckoo's Calling" and "The Casual Vacancy" and the like."

After saying this, Andre seemed to think of something again, his eyes lit up, and he continued to add

"Oh, by the way! In addition to these old shows, Wizard Broadway will also rent out the venue to famous singers and pop stars."

"The idea was to sell our candies at that place...especially the boozy ones...what are they called?"

"Bingmei sweets." Charlie prompted.

"Yes!, in that case, this kind of candy will show the best effect. Who doesn't want some beer or candy at the concert? You know, those little wizards like to feel crazy... because

They can even give everything for it.”

In this way, the two people chatted and strolled along the street towards the distance.

"Suddenly, Charlie remembered something.

"I almost forgot to ask you, where are we going next?"

"Ah?" Andre was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head and said hesitantly.

"Didn't I tell you? Of course you are going to our company. Our boss was very happy when he learned that you were coming."

Andre took Charlie and found a hidden corner at random. Then the two of them turned around and walked in, and left directly by changing their appearance...
