John is extremely satisfied with his current life.

The money he brought from publishing Harry Potter now makes his life worry-free.

Every morning Mrs. Laws, the nanny, could be seen busy in the kitchen, bringing him omelettes, ham sandwiches and milk.

Although it is so simple, he likes this kind of warm and simple food, which makes him satisfied and feels like home.

Sometimes breakfast will also be sausage, bacon, mushrooms or potato chips, mashed potatoes and cereal.

All this excited him. As a flower grower in his previous life, he had never had breakfast like this.

As a carnivore, the veal steak, pasta, stew and cream of mushroom soup that foreigners love to eat all make him relish and full of surprises.

The reason why I talk so much about eating is that John leads a very leisurely life. Aside from photographing his favorite Professor Snape, his passion lies in eating.

After a daze, John thought of the current situation.

They shot the first one for a month and a half. This is my first attempt - maybe I didn't control the time well. Chris thinks next time they should shoot within a month.

But the problem is, that's all.

In the UK, where directors are always changing, can Chris still direct the second Harry Potter film? This is really worrying.

At least John is aware of the future - he understands better that Chris will still be the director of the second film. But starting from the third part, it was replaced by Cuarón. The fourth one is Mike, and from the fifth one onwards it will be David.

Chris, who loves Harry Potter, would definitely be sad if he knew the news now.

I looked at the time and it was almost time.

John put down his breakfast, said hello to Mrs. Laws, then went out alone and drove to Vault Seminary.

——I don’t know what George has been busy with outside recently, it’s mysterious. Now it was up to John to drive.

The filming of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was not based on the plot. Instead, the crew filmed all the scenes in one location and then moved to a new location.

Now that the first part is coming to an end, the crew has just returned from Avic Castle and is preparing to shoot the last few detailed scenes.

One such place is the Vaulted Seminary, which served as the hospital scene in Harry Potter. Madam Pomfrey is a kind yet stern school nurse.

The main scene today should be her and Harry.

Poor little Harry, a regular visitor to the school hospital, has been doing well this year, only this time he fainted from pain. From now on, there will be all kinds of hospital admissions.

Although he no longer has a role in the film, as the "author", John can still go to the set every day.

He went there today not only to watch the filming, but also to ask Will, the prop designer.

——How is the wand making going?

The wand props used this year are all beautifully made, with no flaws as in the original work. But John was still not satisfied. He advocated using materials as similar as possible to make realistic wands.

This is his bold attempt.

The first wand made was naturally Severus Snape's wand - birch, thirteen and one-half inches long, with the nerve of a snake.

If successful, this will play a big role in the promotion of future movies and even peripherals. Therefore, the crew also agreed very much.

John was looking forward to it.

Halfway to the Vault Seminary in the car, he suddenly received a call from the crew.

It was producer David calling.

The other party regretfully told him that the crew had finished filming the scene in the Vault Theological Seminary and were now rushing to the cafeteria of Oxford University. This was the last location for the remaining scenes of "Harry Potter" - this time There are a lot of scenes to be filmed. He advised John not to miss these last few days.

"Okay, okay." John frowned in distress and changed direction at the next intersection.

The Great Dining Hall of Oxford University is exactly the Great Dining Hall of Hogwarts, the place with magic ceiling and delicious food. It is also where the freshmen branch is located every year.

The place is majestic and spectacular. The crew persuaded the person in charge of Oxford University to lend out the corridors, library and cafeteria for filming. It will probably take a lot of effort, right?

John held the steering wheel and thought casually.

It's not about money or reputation, it's about now - a Wednesday, or the following Thursday or Friday, when students obviously can't go without eating, reading, and passing by - well, hell without walking by that strip. Important corridor.

The crew could avoid their time, but it would certainly be fraught with trouble.

By the time he arrived in a hurry, it was already an hour later.

Filming machines and staff were already in place at the scene. Many children, dressed in black robes, were already sitting at the long tables of the four colleges, happily eating food. The tables were filled with dazzling items.

Little Harry had a grimace on his face, while Ron was looking at him worriedly: "Eat something."

"No, not at all."

John noticed that the filming was taking place - although he didn't know which morning clip it was. But it's obvious that the young actors have to finish filming all the scenes here in the next few days.

So he stepped lightly and closed the door behind him.

Will, who was behind the crowd, immediately looked over from a distance, showing a worried expression.
