When I first started, I was deeply passionate about coding; I remember feeling a burning drive to “change the world with code.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my code never changed the world—instead, the world changed me. I gradually lost that passion for programming and code. Though I still approach my work with diligence and responsibility, the feeling inside me has shifted; as programmers joke, my daily work now feels like “carrying bricks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day in September 2021, I rewatched the Harry Potter films, then opened my computer to fix a bug. Looking at the feature I’d just written, I suddenly had a wild thought:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the world of code, am I not a wizard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Computer functions are my spells!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My keyboard is my wand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My t-shirt is my magic robe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each feature I write is the effect of my magic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baldness is... (uh... didn’t think that one through, facepalming—mainly because the author isn’t bald)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, this idea felt incredibly romantic to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you think this is going to be a story about a lost programmer rediscovering his passion, you’re wrong—adult minds don’t change so easily from a single thought...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it sparked another idea in me: write a web novel centered around that thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it appeared, it took over my mind and refused to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been a longtime web novel reader—over a decade—and a heavy user of Qidian; I spend a couple hundred yuan there every month and have over a dozen recommendation votes each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe every longtime reader dreams of writing a novel someday—I’m no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After preliminary “technical research”—reading countless posts and watching videos about writing web novels—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I decided to make this idea real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chose to write a Harry Potter fanfiction because fanfiction is easier for newcomers, the magic system in HP aligns perfectly with my idea, and most importantly, I’m a fan—I read the original books seven or eight times in middle school and watched the movies once or twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I began designing all the settings, integrating programming concepts into HP’s magic system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next question was: how would the protagonist use his programming skills to break the rules?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Programming’s core strength lies in handling complex logic and massive data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strength fits perfectly with Transfiguration, so the novel would focus on that discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t enough—I needed more to attract readers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My job requires minimizing randomness in every aspect; perhaps because of that, I personally love randomness—even though I don’t want my life to be full of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transfiguration + Randomness = Random Transfiguration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after establishing these core concepts did I begin writing the novel in earnest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the process, I received immense encouragement and help from readers. I’ve also kept learning—both programmers and web novel authors must constantly learn, and I believe my learning ability is decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, my vision for this book has changed greatly since I started—but all changes have been for the better. The story in my heart now is far more thrilling than when I began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t wait to write it all out and let you see it. Since I can’t change the real world, I’ll change my favorite magical world instead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s all for now—I haven’t prepared my tomorrow’s massive update yet, but I should be able to post five chapters, ten thousand words. I hope friends will support with first-subscription votes; I heard they’re important. Currently, the book has 5,100 collections—I’d be satisfied with just 100 first-subscription votes (facepalming).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it—thank you all for your support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Happy New Year to everyone!\u003C\u002Fp>",636,"2026-06-20T16:09:24.693Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6cd803bd64fdf05134db046345126edc81bfb1c15a9dc4d0236e485582b02155",null,"the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-283","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
