Plus, all of Ron's ratings were higher than his.
Harry then showed his screen back to Ron, who let out a sigh on seeing the difference.
"Harry, you really are pretty thin. But what does 'intelligence' mean here? Is it like IQ?"
"Why do you have so much more than me?"
"I'm not really sure," Harry admitted, just as puzzled.
Then he glanced over at Neville.
"Hey, Neville, why don't you show us yours?"
Neville nodded shyly and pulled up his own screen, looking a little embarrassed as he shared it with them.
Neville Longbottom, an eleven-year-old first-year student, stood out with his strong physique and good strength and dexterity, though his intelligence seemed a bit lacking.
His magical energy, or lumen, measured at 109 ticks, which was impressive.
Harry glanced at Neville's glowing stats with a hint of envy.
"Wow, Neville, you're really strong! Your attributes are higher than ours," he said.
But Neville frowned, feeling down.
"My intelligence is only half a star. Does that mean I'm stupid? I always thought I just had a poor memory," he said, frustration creeping into his voice.
Harry quickly reassured him.
"Don't be so hard on yourself. Intelligence isn't something you can just put a number on. Besides, let's wait and listen to what the professor has to say."
Just then, the twins nearby were arguing.
"Merlin's beard, since we're twins, why do you have two more points of magic power than me?" George grumbled.
Fred just grinned confidently.
"It's the difference between a genius and an ordinary person. Two points might seem small, but it's a big deal in the long run."
George shot him a glare.
"Not if I have a whole month to catch up, I'll surpass you, just wait!"
He then turned back to the glowing stats, determined to prove himself.
After watching George's actions, Harry felt like he had just discovered a whole new world.
"Wait, this light curtain can actually work?" he said, intrigued.
He reached out and touched the screen.
To his surprise, his finger made contact with something soft, like pressing on a delicate balloon.
But if he pushed a little harder, his finger would go right through it.
It seemed the light curtain was semi-physical, touchable, yet not solid enough to block movement.
Curious, Harry pressed on it for a while but saw no special reaction.
He looked at George, puzzled.
"What are you doing, pressing on that light curtain?"
George glanced at the screen casually.
"Oh, nothing much. There's just a lot of stuff on this light curtain. Some sections have zoom and expand buttons, and some parts need you to swipe up to see more."
Harry exchanged a curious look with Ron.
"Is your third-year content really that different from ours? Ron and I only have a short light curtain, and we can see everything in just a glance."
George nodded.
"Yeah, there's quite a lot packed in here. Let me show you. Fred's screen is pretty much the same as mine, except for his magic power."
He then turned the screen toward Harry and the others, revealing detailed information:

Harry and his friends stared at the screen in shock.
Compared to their own light curtains, the amount of information for third-year students was overwhelming.
Under the larger categories like [Spellcasting Ability], there's an expand button that, when clicked, reveals a long list of details.
For example, under [Spellcasting Ability], you can see the names of many spells along with their corresponding levels.
Most spells are level 2, with only a few at level 1 or level 3.
In the [Academic Results] section, George's final grades for all subjects in his first and second years are clearly recorded.
But the most surprising part is the [Violation Record].
George's list of violations is shockingly long, there are over ten entries just from his first two years, and the list is longer than the previous two sections combined.
By rough count, he's lost nearly two points because of these infractions.
"Merlin's beard, George! Why do you have so many violation records? Didn't Professor McGonagall scold you for losing so many points?" Ron asked, looking at George in disbelief.
George sighed.
"It's just youth and ignorance. We were too careless during those two years and got caught more times than I can count. But don't worry, Fred and I have changed our approach this year. We won't get caught again!"
Ron and Harry exchanged awkward looks, silently thinking that "youth and ignorance" basically meant getting caught over and over.
Shouldn't they learn from their mistakes and cause less trouble?
Meanwhile, Alex, standing on the podium, noticed everyone had been exploring the Wilson's Arcane Alchemica Amulet for a while and seemed to have gotten the hang of it.
He laughed and asked.
"So, what do you think? Are you happy with how this item works?"
"It's really cool! I didn't expect it to have records going all the way back to first year!"
"It's interesting, but can we delete the violation records? It's a bit embarrassing to have them all there."
"What do these attributes mean? Especially intelligence, why do I only have one star? I don't think I'm that dumb!"
"And what about these curses? Why are they marked with levels? Does a higher level mean a stronger curse?"
After Alex's questions, the young wizards around the room immediately started chatting and debating excitedly.
Some students expressed their love for the Wilson's Arcane Alchemica Amulet, while others voiced dissatisfaction with certain parts of it.
Still, many raised their own questions.
Seeing this, Alex nodded slightly and said.
"I know there's a lot you don't understand, so I'm going to explain everything in detail now. Please listen carefully."
At once, the room fell silent.
Honestly, everyone liked the talisman, but it definitely raised many puzzles, so all eyes were on Alex.
"First, let me formally introduce you to the Wilson's Arcane Alchemica Talisman's contents, which are collectively called the 'Hogwarts Student Information Tracking System,' or just the 'system' for short."
He continued.
"This system is specially designed to record your growth and experiences here at Hogwarts. Things like your grades, rule violations, and honors will always be kept on record. The headmaster has officially approved this."
He added.
"I also want to remind you that the school is even considering turning these records into official personnel files after you graduate. These files could be used as reference materials when you apply for jobs in the future."
Alex glanced at the deans standing behind him, all of whom nodded their agreement.
In fact, the idea for this system came after Alex finished the last school planning meeting.
He returned to Hogwarts and discussed it with Dumbledore, who took a strong interest and even helped personally with building the system.
Dumbledore also provided information about students from previous years to be included in the Wilson's Arcane Alchemica Talisman.
The other four deans fully supported the project, and it was Snape who suggested the rather strict idea of compiling student records into files.
While Alex spoke calmly, the faces of the young wizards in front of him changed dramatically.
Especially the older students looked shocked.
'Wait, if we make a mistake and lose points at school, will that really affect our future jobs? Isn't that a bit harsh? We're just kids!'
George and Fred Weasley went pale.
They had been boasting to Harry and the others about their achievements, comparing them to the violation records displayed on the screen, when they suddenly heard this shocking news.
