THE ANCIENT CRYSTAL SKULLS Official website of Joshua Shapiro, coauthor Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed written with Sandra Bowen and F. R. Bag of okane, said Harry. The heavy bag of gold. Harry withdrew the bag, then plunged it again into the mokeskin. He took out his hand, put it back in, and said, Bag of. That time his hand came out. Give me back the bag that I just put in. Out came the bag of. Harry James Potter Evans Verres had gotten his hands on at least. Why waitProfessor Mc. Gonagall, Harry said to the bemused witch. I wouldnt know But dont tell me which is. Ahava and zahav, said Professor Mc. Gonagall. Thats Hebrew, and the other word means love. Thank you, Professor. Bag of ahava. Empty. Bag of zahav. And it popped up into his hand. Zahav is gold Harry questioned, and Professor Mc. Gonagall. nodded. Harry thought over his collected experimental data. It was only. the most crude and preliminary sort of effort, but it was enough to. Aaaaaaarrrgh this doesnt make any sense The witch beside him lifted a lofty eyebrow. Problems, Mr. PotterI just falsified every single hypothesis I had How can it know. that bag of 1. Galleons is okay but not bag of 9. Galleons It can count but it cant add It can. understand nouns, but not some noun phrases that mean the same. The person who made this probably didnt speak Japanese and. I dont speak any Hebrew, so its not using their. Harry waved. a hand helplessly. The rules seem sorta consistent but. Im not even going to ask how a. Artificial Intelligence programmers. Harry gasped for breath, but what is. Magic, said Professor Mc. Gonagall. Thats just a word Even after you tell me that, I. Its exactly like saying. The black robed witch laughed aloud. But it is magic. Mr. Potter. Harry slumped over a little. With respect, Professor. Mc. Gonagall, Im not quite sure you understand what Im trying to do. With respect, Mr. Potter, Im quite sure I dont. Unless this. is just a guess, mind youre trying to take over the worldNo I mean yes well, no I think I should perhaps be alarmed that you have trouble. Harry glumly considered the Dartmouth Conference on Artificial. Intelligence in 1. It had been the first conference ever on the. Artificial. Intelligence. They had identified key problems such as making. They. had suggested, in perfect seriousness, that significant advances on. No. Chin up. Youre just starting on the problem of. You dont actually know. And you really havent heard of other wizards asking. Harry asked again. It just seemed so. Then again, itd taken more than two hundred years. Muggle scientists had thought to systematically investigate which. The developmental psychology of linguistics couldve. So you couldnt. really blame the much smaller wizarding world for not investigating. Retrieval Charm. Professor Mc. Gonagall pursed her lips, then shrugged. Im still. not sure what you mean by scientific experimenting, Mr. Potter. As I said, Ive seen Muggleborn students try to get Muggle science. Hogwarts, and people invent new Charms and Potions. Harry shook his head. Technology isnt the same thing as. And trying lots of different ways to do something. There. were plenty of people whod tried to invent flying machines by. Wright Brothers. had built a wind tunnel to measure lift. Um, how many. Muggle raised children do you get at Hogwarts every. Perhaps ten or soHarry missed a step and almost tripped over his own feet. Ten The Muggle world had a population of six billion and counting. If you were one in a million, there were seven of you in London and. China. It was inevitable that the Muggle. Harry knew he wasnt the only one. Hed met other. prodigies in mathematical competitions. In fact hed been. Harry was something of a sore. But. in the wizarding world. Ten Muggle raised children per year, whod all ended their. Muggle educations at the age of eleven And Professor Mc. Gonagall. might be biased, but she had claimed that Hogwarts was the largest. Professor Mc. Gonagall undoubtedly knew every last detail of how. But she seemed to have literally. To her it was just. Muggle magic. And she didnt even seem curious about what. Retrieval Charm. That left two possibilities, really. Possibility one Magic was so incredibly opaque, convoluted, and. Harry would do no better. Or. Harry cracked his knuckles in determination, but they only made. Diagon Alley. Possibility two Hed be taking over the world. Eventually. Perhaps not right away. That sort of thing did sometimes take longer than two. Muggle science hadnt gone to the moon in the first week. Galileo. But Harry still couldnt stop the huge smile that was stretching. Harry had always been frightened of ending up as one of those. But then most adult geniuses never amounted to anything either. There were probably a thousand people as intelligent as Einstein. Einstein in history. Because those other geniuses. Theyd never found an important problem. Youre mine now, Harry thought at the walls of Diagon. Alley, and all the shops and items, and all the shopkeepers and. Britain, and. all the wider wizarding world and the entire greater universe of. Muggle scientists understood so much less than they believed. I, Harry James Potter Evans Verres, do now claim this territory. Science. Lightning and thunder completely failed to flash and boom in the. What are you smiling about inquired Professor Mc. Gonagall. warily and wearily. Im wondering if theres a spell to make lightning flash in the. I make an ominous resolution, explained Harry. He was carefully memorising the exact words of his ominous. I have the distinct feeling that I ought to be doing something. Professor Mc. Gonagall. Ignore it, itll go away. Ooh, shiny Harry put his thoughts. Professor Mc. Gonagall followed. Harry had now bought his potions ingredients and cauldron, and. Items that seemed like good things to carry. Harrys Bag of Holding aka Moke Super Pouch QX3. Undetectable Extension Charm, Retrieval Charm, and Widening Lip. Smart, sensible purchases. Harry genuinely didnt understand why Professor Mc. Gonagall was. looking so suspicious. Right now, Harry was in a shop expensive enough to display in. Diagon Alley. The shop had an open. Harry was examining the wizarding equivalent of a first aid kit. Emergency Healing Pack Plus. There were two self tightening. A syringe of what looked like liquid fire, which was. White cloth that could be wrapped over a part of the body to. Plus any number of other items that Harry. Dementor Exposure. Treatment, which looked and smelled like ordinary chocolate. Or. the Bafflesnaffle Counter, which looked like a small quivering. A definite buy at five Galleons, wouldnt you agree Harry. Professor Mc. Gonagall, and the teenage salesgirl hovering. Harry had expected the Professor to make some sort of approving. What he was getting instead could only be described as the Evil. Eye. And just why, Professor Mc. Gonagall said with heavy. After the unfortunate incident at the Potions shop. Professor Mc. Gonagall was trying to avoid saying Mr. Potter while. anyone else was nearby. Harrys mouth opened and closed. I dont expect to. Its just in caseJust in case of what Harrys eyes widened.
