Chapter 1385 - 1151: Whose Turn is it to Get the Boxed Lunch Now?

Chapter 1385: Chapter 1151: Whose Turn is it to Get the Boxed Lunch Now?

It’s different from the previous six installments.

The final Chapter of the Harry Potter series is no longer set within the school.

The returning Voldemort has already laid his hands on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, occupied the Ministry of Magic, and successfully taken control of half the Wizarding World.

The situation has deteriorated rapidly.

Harry, accompanied by Ron and Hermione, is forced to go on the run, hiding in secrecy.

In order to fulfill Headmaster Dumbledore’s last wishes, Harry, who has been secretly searching for opportunities to destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes, accidentally learns:

If they are able to possess the three legendary Deathly Hallows, they might have a chance to defeat Voldemort.

At the same time.

Voldemort has already begun his quest to find one of the Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand. He has sent numerous Death Eaters to set an all-encompassing trap to capture Harry.

Clearly.

In the post-Dumbledore era, the Deathly Hallows represent Harry’s hope of defeating Voldemort...

Reflecting on the storyline.

Typing on the keyboard.

The story of the final Chapter unfolds quietly in the document.

On this, Lin Yuan is confident:

Readers will not boycott the Harry Potter series because of Dumbledore’s death.

Even though some experts analyzed, "From Cedric to Sirius to the great Dumbledore, Harry Potter fans, under blow after blow, have grown more and more sensitive. Yet Chu Kuang keeps challenging the bottom line of readers again and again, making the death of an important character a tradition in every book of the Harry Potter series. Perhaps Dumbledore is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back—this time the old rascal has completely enraged the readers..."

What a joke.

Harry Potter not selling well?

Earth, July 21, 2007.

The release day of the final Chapter of the Harry Potter series.

The book, *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows*, sold 11 million copies in just one day in the U.S. and U.K. combined.

This figure directly broke the previous record of 9 million copies sold in one day set by *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*.

Harry Potter fans worldwide attended midnight book release parties, with many readers dressing up as their favorite characters, hoping to be part of this historic publishing event.

Additionally.

Publishers spent 10 million British Pounds on security measures for the book!

The booksellers not only kept the storage locations of the new book strictly confidential but also hired large numbers of security personnel, used guard dogs, implemented 24/7 surveillance, and required all personnel involved in transporting the new books to wear special blindfolds while working to prevent them from peeking at the book’s content. Each truck carrying the new books was equipped with a $2,000 satellite tracking system to ensure the vehicles followed designated routes, and the books on the trucks were stored in sealed containers that would trigger alarms if tampered with.

In fact.

With each new Harry Potter book release, security measures became increasingly rigorous.

In the U.S., 8.3 million copies were sold in the first 24 hours.

This equates to an average of 300,000 copies sold per hour.

In England, the first two-day sales successfully exceeded 3 million copies.

In the capital of the Celestial Dynasty, 10,000 copies were sold on the first day—even though they were not yet translated but in their original English version.

The later translated editions sold even more within the domestic market.

Of course.

That was under the premise that the public knew *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows* was the series’ final book.

At this moment on Blue Star.

The readers were still unaware that this series was about to conclude with one last volume.

...

And so.

Lin Yuan wrote straight into the night.

After carefully storing the completed content, Lin Yuan went online to secretly conduct some observation.

Alright.

Even though Yi An’s efforts to "whitewash" Chu Kuang were fairly successful, not everyone was buying it.

The top trending topic on blogs was still #Dumbledore’s Death#

Many readers were still full of grievances about the plot in this installment!

Lin Yuan figured he needed to shift everyone’s attention.

The method was quite simple.

Five minutes later.

Chu Kuang posted an announcement: [The seventh book in the Harry Potter series, *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows*, will be released next month. This is the final Chapter of the entire novel series, and the story’s conclusion will reveal the ultimate fates of all key characters!]

The final Chapter?

The last volume?

Chu Kuang’s single sentence stirred a massive storm on the internet!

Just moments ago, Harry Potter fans had been discussing *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince* and Dumbledore’s death. But now, they couldn’t think about anything else.

Swish, swish, swish!

Everyone’s attention was completely diverted by this news!

"The Deathly Hallows?"

"What’s that?"

"Voldemort’s Horcruxes?"

"So the seventh book is the conclusion?"

"While I’m also eagerly anticipating the finale, now that it’s actually coming, why do I suddenly feel reluctant to let go?"

"So this is really the end."

"I haven’t had enough yet."

"Dumbledore is dead. In the final Chapter, Harry will definitely take revenge and kill Voldemort, who caused all this. But honestly, I kind of hope Harry doesn’t get his revenge so soon."

"Yeah."

"If Voldemort dies, the story doesn’t have a reason to continue anymore. After all, the entire seven-book plot revolves around the feud between Harry and Voldemort."

"But don’t rush to say goodbye just yet."

"Based on the Harry Potter series’ tradition, who do you think is going to die in the finale? Ron or Hermione? Or will our protagonist Harry go down with Voldemort together?"

"Dude, don’t scare me—that’s terrifying!"

"I’m not trying to scare you, but think about it. The war between Harry and Voldemort is so brutal. A finale where no one dies would seem odd. But if it’s just a side character, it wouldn’t carry enough weight compared to Dumbledore’s death, nor would it sufficiently reflect the severity of this war. So it has to be one of the main trio."

"If someone has to die, let it be Snape!"

"Agreed, Snape must die!"

"Snape definitely will. As cruel as Chu Kuang’s stories are, they still follow a principle of justice. There won’t be a plot where villains walk away scot-free in the end. Even if Snape was forced by Voldemort to kill Dumbledore, that doesn’t mean the main trio will all survive the finale unscathed."

It must be said.

Chu Kuang’s distraction tactic was very effective.

The news that the Harry Potter series was about to reach its grand finale instantly excited readers!

However, at the same time.

People had countless worries about the finale.

In every book, someone dies, and each death carries more weight than the last. This has clearly become a "glorious" tradition of the Harry Potter series.

Now Chu Kuang was about to release *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows*, not only the seventh book of the series but also its ultimate conclusion!

Could the finale possibly not involve deaths?

Could the characters killed off lack significance?

This anxiety made readers both anticipate next month’s final volume and filled them with unease and dread.

So, who’s getting the axe this time?

Something about this old rascal gives the feeling he’s planning something big!
