“Aye, Professor, sir,” he began, taking a quick breath, “all of the owners represented by Q.U.A.C.K. have been invited to this preview tonight. They, representing our potential customers with the most disposable income, may be expected to purchase viewers for both their personal and team use.” He had high hopes that many of the Players in the League would do the same, but did not wish to overstate his own enthusiasm until these hopes were bourne out by the orders. “Other pub owners may be expected to be early purchasers of the larger size screens as well. The smaller size screens should appeal to the less prosperous Quidditch enthusiast, as well as for individual table viewing at pubs or at smaller private gatherings.” He didn’t want to overstate, fearing that the Professor would discount his youthful enthusiasm, but it would be foolhardy not to be more forthcoming with his supplier. Snape had to be prepared for the onslaught he was sure would follow the initial introduction of the viewers.
“’Twood be prudent to expect those with the means to purchase the viewers for home and recreational use, Professor. Just as ‘tis prudent for Dean and I to be seeking to expand our reach to include other sports, other Leagues and other wizarding endeavors. ‘Twood be a fair way to enjoy wizarding activities from music to memories, with sports, politics and history to be caught in the mix ‘fore we’re through then.” He couldn’t help smiling at the thought of it. Everyone from grandmothers wanting viewers of their little tykes to the Minister of Magic seeking re-election would find a way to make use of their exciting new venture.
