Chapter 163: Summary at the End of Volume Three

Let me explain the overall setting.

The title of Volume Three is "Harry Potter and the Ace of Auror," which is exactly the opposite of "Prisoner of Azkaban."

In the original work, the theme of Volume Three is the grievances of the older generation, and the feature is time travel. Therefore, in the remake, what is supplemented is letting Harry understand Snape's deeds in advance, introducing Tang Nade's absurd behavior in his youth, and arranging time travel on a larger scale.

From the perspective of writing rhythm, the original Volume Three is an independent and less influential volume; its main significance lies in supplementing settings and popularizing the stories of Harry's parents for readers. Therefore, in the remake, Volume Three plays more of a connecting role and does not provide a brilliant story itself.

The first thirty chapters of Volume Three are Harry finishing the third year step by step, which belongs to "a story that is not particularly brilliant itself." In the last thirty chapters, Harry actually didn't need to watch the two people's actions, but because he hoped to tell the story from Harry's perspective as much as possible, he arranged for him to find a reason to act as a camera once.

The main role of the last thirty chapters is to recover the foreshadowing of the Chamber of Secrets case. In fact, the entire Chamber of Secrets incident in this article is an dispensable time closed loop; the reason it happened is "fate hopes to return to the appearance of the original work," so time used Zhang Qiu, the traveler. A deeper reason is that the author hopes to reproduce the suspense elements of the Chamber of Secrets, so it needs to be laid out on a larger scale.

Besides this, the Doctor and the Time Moment have very important significance in the entire outline, which is worth laying out some foreshadowing in advance. Time theory and the TARDIS also need to let readers understand in advance to avoid too many new settings being thrown out in Volume Four and appearing abrupt.

As stated in the prologue, Mr. Bean is a Soviet agent, but combined with Mr. Bean's own character setting, the comprehensive plot is as follows:

Mr. Bean joined the Auror Office under the identity of Johnny English. Afterward, Fudge was assassinated (Fudge's assassination was arranged by Yanayev to support the hawk Scrimgeour to power). He used this to be transferred to protect the Muggle Prime Minister (for an Auror, going to protect Muggles is undoubtedly a demotion), and during this period, with the help of political power in the Muggle World and a bit of self-directed credit (cracking the Anglo-French smuggling case), he made his resume beautiful enough to be seconded as an peripheral member of the Doctor's plan, and used this year of protecting Harry's qualifications to deeply participate in the plan to round up Fu Di Mo in the fourth year.

As for what Yanayev wants to achieve in this plan... I will explain it later.

Let's talk about Tang Nade's branch line. Setting the character of Cassandra has many meanings. First, it clearly explains Cui Ge's life story and fleshes out his image; second, it adds the academy legend of "Blonde Slytherin Senior Cassandra" to Hogwarts, because this character appeared in the mobile game; finally, the most important point is to add obstacles for Tang Nade.

Tang Nade as a character himself, to a certain extent, satirizes those fanfictions that don't study the plot and settings well, and just come up to show off, pick up Hermione, pick up Luna, pick up Fleur, and open a harem. Therefore, Tang Nade actually also needs to grow, from a frivolous, lustful, show-off rich second generation, to a branch-line villain who calculates every step and stops at nothing, and then performs a limited whitewashing based on the positive role he plays in the main line.

Regarding Harry's own emotional line, it can be seen that there is an arrangement for Zhang Qiu to add scenes for him in Volume Three. The quarrel between Ron and Hermione in the original work is to a certain extent transformed into Zhang Qiu's obsession with fate causing trouble for Harry, and in the end, it was also talked out, and the affection deepened.

To avoid causing trouble to readers, I will explain here in advance: in the outline, Zhang Qiu and Harry are each other's first love, and neither has loved anyone else.

However, in the face of greater interests, the priority of love has to be pushed back a little.

Some other settings related to Volume Three, if it is decided not to explain much later, will be updated in this chapter. If there are any changes one day, readers will be reminded at the end of the chapter. ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
