The Power(Harry Potter/The Gamer)

Flourish and Botts contains a set of books that will give us powers we really need: The Harry Potter books. Just from canon descriptions there is some power there.

Those should be our first target.

Books and Bushy Hair
You tell Hagrid you want to check out the bookstore, and he nods his head, still looking a bit green, before wandering toward the archway that leads into the alley.

As you make your way into the shop you think over the reaction you got when you walked into the Leaky Cauldron. It was odd, all those people wanting to talk to you. You. Certainly not something you're used to, and you don't think you much care for it. Realizing that more people might be able to recognize you you reach up, using your fingers to try and comb your bangs to cover your scar. Certainly something that identifies you, and to think, you used to like it just because it was different.

Looking around inside Florish and Blotts you see a lot of books, though there doesn't look like there's much organization. At least there aren't any signs to let one know what is where. But the books on your list are sorted and stacked in easy view, so you won't have to go hunting for them. Picking one up at random, The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1), you're only a little surprised when another of those windows pop up.

[Alert:] You have gained a skillbook for [Charms]. Would you like to use it?

Before you can do anything about that, however, another window comes up.

[Alert:] You have acquired an item that isn't yours, and use of it could lead to being caught as a thief.

Seeing that you dismiss both windows, not using the book, before setting the book down and look around the shop with wide eyes. If that Magic of the Multiverse trait you picked up is accurate, you could use any of the books in here to learn things That is daunting and incredible all at once. But it's not going to stop you from looking around the shop.

You explorations reveal books for all the years at Hogwarts, a collection of books on household charms, history books, potions books, and more. And then your eyes fall on something absolutely horrifying.

The Harry Potter section.

Harry Potter and the Naughty Nundu
Harry Potter and the Angry Acromantula
Harry Potter and the Dastardly Dragon
Harry Potter and...


There's so many of them. You think... Maybe Hagrid understated this fame of yours when he told you about it.

Quickly vacating that area of the store you continue to look around. And between the distraction of trying to cope with the idea of a book series about you and trying to figure out what books would be best, you end up too distracted to notice the pile of books with bushy hair you end up colliding with.

With a soft 'Oof' you and the books with bushy hair end up collapsing to the ground, revealing that behind all those books, the true possessor of the hair is actually a girl about your age.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry! I was just distracted by all the books I need to get! I'm the first in my family who is magical, you see, and so there's so much I need to catch up on! I've already memorized the course books, but I'm not sure if that's going to be enough, considering that those with magical parents will already know a lot, and... Oh, terribly sorry. My name is Hermione Granger. What's yours?"

How common is it to introduce yourself with first and last name in casual conversation, especially when you're that young? Because I don't recall that being a thing. Nor do I see any reason to specify "Just Harry", because there's no reason to give our last name.

People, buying everything is spensive and suspicious. We don't need books on divination nor magical creatures. Our money is finite. And the books on runes and arithimacy we most likely can't read. We are after all only beggining our jorney to the magial world.
 
[X] "Harry Potter."
Do note that Hermione is now just buying the book, thus there is a chance she haven't had the time to buy nor read the Harry Potter Adventure book yet.

It's not that suspicious for someone who's never heard of magic before to try to buy ALL THE BOOKS out of excitement. Also, with The Gamer, we don't need to read the books to gain the skills. That's why we need two sets of first-year books: one to consume to gain the knowledge within, and one to use for class.

As for money, knowledge is power. And we can probably get more later.

Utility spells are good.

Just in case The Gamers Mind doesn't stop telepathy.

It's like the cloak of invisibility but we can't out grow it.

We still need to buy other things guys.

@Halpo133 Does Floris and Blotts have a catalogue?
 
They have owl order, but you'd still need the Galleons to buy the books, obviously. No bank drafts, magical debit cards, or anything like that yet.
Then we have no reason to buy everything right now. We can buy a few books now, buy the rest of the stuff we need from Diagon Alley, then buy some more books after we get an owl, hopefully Hedwig.
