Hollywood Zenith

Meanwhile, in London.

" Hi, this is Kit Bowen from moviereporter.com, talking to you from London's Leicester Square in merry old England. We're here to look at the movie premier of the most highly anticipated film this year. Welcome to the wonderful world of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."

There were many such reporters on the scene, and even though the movie stars were missing, the crazy fans flocked to the theatre to show their support of the franchise.

Iblis and Adele, and their family members were attending the event. They were only going in as ordinary fans; though they were not celebrities, people's eyes followed them for their beauty.

" I wish we could have gone to the main premiere." Adele sighed; she wanted to attend the event with Samuel.

" Don't be like that. I am here with you, right? We will have so much fun." Iblis said.

The only reason they were not in LA was that their families didn't allow them. There were some security concerns, and they wanted to be independent of the Rothschild family in a foreign country. Iblis's whole family was here, and Penny didn't want her daughter to be away from home.

Even if they followed Samuel, it was questionable if they could do it without revealing his identity. Strangely, Samuel also insisted they stay in the country, stating he had planned a surprise for them.

The studio arranged the best seats for them. There were few strangers in their section, but most of it was filled with their family members. The girls were fully immersed in the story in just a few minutes, not caring about their surroundings.

" That hat looks funny," Iblis said.

" Yeah, I didn't know I would be enjoying it."

The Sorting Hat was placed over Harry, and he was chosen to be in the same house as Ron and Hermione, the Gryffindor House.

Draco Malfoy, an arrogant and elitist student, gets placed in Slytherin.

At the end of their first week at Hogwarts, Harry and Ron discover that Gringotts, the wizarding bank, was broken into and a vault that Harry and Hagrid visited had been the subject of the robbery.

Later, Harry discovers he has a talent for riding broomsticks. After an incident with Malfoy, he is recruited to join Gryffindor's Quidditch team as a Seeker, much to Malfoy's displeasure.

" How can he look so evil!"

" Right, that ominous white hair."

Here also, there were some hot-blooded fans.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione explore Hogwarts late at night and accidentally stumble across the door to a corridor.

A three-headed dog, christened Fluffy by Hagrid, guards a trapdoor. On Halloween, Quirrell informs everyone that a troll has entered the castle; Harry and Ron fight the troll to save Hermione, who is trapped in the girls' bathroom, and the three become best friends.

" My, I didn't know our Sami was this talented," Olivia said.

" I know; I was also surprised when he decided to pursue this career. He was already a great author, but I guess he was only starting." Oscar was accompanying his mother today.

" Their chemistry is also terrific. They look like real friends on an adventure." Penny said while discussing with her mother.

" I didn't know Miss Penny had an eye for the critic," Olivia said; both families were sitting together.

" It's not like that! It's just something I picked up after watching Television every day." Penny was embarrassed.

Both were meeting for the first time, and Penny was conscious of their social differences. Knowing Iblis was from a prestigious family, she had some reservations.

But Olivia was much more accommodating than she expected. Oscar also helped knowing Penny's character.

At Harry's first Quidditch match, Harry's broom becomes possessed, nearly knocking him off. Hermione sees Professor Severus Snape, the sinister Potions master, and head of Slytherin House, staring at Harry and mouthing words, making her believe that Snape has caused the broom to misbehave with a dark curse.

Hoping to save Harry, Hermione sets Snape's robes on fire, distracting him and others and allowing Harry to survive.

The viewers were shocked and screamed when they saw Harry falling in the final scene. But when he caught the prized ball, they celebrated along with the children.

Harry's team victory marked the start of intermission. As the movie hall was dimmed during the screening, Iblis and Adele didn't notice who sat beside them.

When they returned to their seat, waiting for it to start again, they recognized someone famous sitting across from them.

" Wait! Isn't that Ainslie Wilson?" Adele was the first to point it out.

" Lady Wilson? That famous singer?" Iblis exclaimed.

" Yes, you are right! I can't believe we were sitting so close to her." Iblis was a big fan of her music.

" Oh, she is also looking at us. She is also smiling. Does she know us?" Adele noticed that she was also staring at them.

" I don't think so; it must be because we were rudely staring at her."

" What should we do?"

While debating, the person in question waved at them and motioned them to come closer.

" We should go."

" Ok."

" I didn't want to disturb you while watching the movie, but It seems like It will not be possible," Ainslie said; she was very soft-spoken and had a melodious ring to it.

" Don't worry, Lady Wilson; we were only curious about you because we are big fans of your music," Adele said. After spending so much time around the upper class, she learned how to speak formally.

" Yes, especially the song 'river in you.' I played that one on repeat for weeks when it came out." On the other hand, Iblis was fangirling hard after meeting her idol.

" Haha, That's a relief. It looks like we will get along just fine." Ainslie replied, causing some confusion.

" Yes, we will disturb you further." Iblis didn't want to hold her further. Intermission was almost over.

" Eh, It seems like you were not told why I am here."

" Because of the movie?" Adele said naively.

" That is one of the reasons, but no matter how much I like this movie, it would be foolish to waste my time coming here."

" Then?" Iblis asked.

" That kid really is something. I should not have accepted his preposterous request. He could have at least informed you two." Ainslie mumbled.

" That kid? Are you talking about Samuel...wait, do you know us?" Iblid was quick on the uptake.

" Iblis and Adele, right?"

It had already been a few months since Samuel contacted Lady Wilson. She, considered the best singer in the country, had a mastery over her vocal cords.

With only three official albums, she had cemented herself in the industry. The reason why she was so famous was that she refused to sign any contracts. As a person from a wealthy family, it was sufficient to say she didn't lack any backing.

Even though she appears meek and timid, her clash with an extensive music agency is well-known in music circles.

When Samuel came with the proposal asking her to take Iblis and Adele under her, she had no reason to comply.

She didn't lack money or fame, but she had to change her mind seeing the girl's talent. Even though Adele was a genius, Iblis didn't lose to her because of her innate talent.

It also didn't hurt if a Rothschild owed you a favor; Ainslie knew some problems couldn't be solved with how much money you had.

" Now, we should watch the rest of it. I want to see how it ends." Surprisingly Ansolie left their conversation and ignored both of them for the rest of the movie.

It was not like she was playing hard to get; she just didn't want to miss the ending!

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

In the final act, Harry wakes up in the hospital wing. Dumbledore reveals to Harry that Harry's mother died to protect Harry as an infant.

Her pure, loving sacrifice provides Harry with ancient magical protection from Voldemort's lethal spells and also prevents Voldemort from touching Harry without suffering terribly.

Dumbledore also says that the Sorcerer's Stone has been destroyed to prevent future attempts by Voldemort to steal it.

Finally, at the end-of-year feast, the House Points totals are given: Gryffindor is in last place.

However, Dumbledore gives a few "last-minute additions," granting points to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville for their bravery and service towards school so that Gryffindor wins the House Cup. Harry returns to the Dursleys for the summer, happy to finally have a natural home in Hogwarts.

During the two and half hours of movie runtime, the audience went from curious to sad to angry to relieved to happy; for a movie to encompass this much variety of emotions was simply exceptional.

Even the children's parents, who were first apprehensive about the movie, were all smiles at the end. The kids gained a new hero they could emulate, and they would discuss their experience for the day, which would bring new viewers.

The critics who attended were also left amazed by a well-done movie; through their experience eyes, they knew that the film was a hit! Now they just need to follow the trend and sing its praises to bolster their popularity.
