1
Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
2
Me.
3
Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League,
4
and five times winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award.
5
But I don't talk about that.
6
I didn't get rid of the band and banshee by smiling at them.
7
Now, be warned.
8
It is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizard kind.
9
You may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room.
10
Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I am here.
11
I must ask you not to scream.
12
It might provoke them!
13
Cornish pixies?
14
Freshly caught, Cornish pixies.
15
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
16
Laugh if you will, Mr. Finnegan.
17
The pixies can be devilishly tricky little blighters.
18
Let's see what you make of them.
19
Ah!
20
Oh!
21
Ah!
22
Ah!
23
Ah!
24
Come on, now, round them up, round them up.
25
Are there any pixies?
26
Please, get me down!
27
Get off me!
28
No, stop!
29
Hold still!
30
Pesky pixie pestonome!
31
Help me!
32
Please, please, please!
33
I'll ask
34
you three to just nip the rest of them back into their cage.
35
What do we do now?
36
Immobulus!
37
Turn to page 394.
38
Excuse me, sir.
39
Where's Professor Lupin?
40
That's not really your concern, is it, Potter?
41
Suffice it to say that your professor finds himself incapable of teaching at the present time.
42
Turn to page 394.
43
Werewolves?
44
But, sir, we've just begun learning about red caps and hinky punks.
45
We're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks.
46
Quiet.
47
When did she come in?
48
Did you see her come in?
49
Now, which one of you can tell me the difference between an animagus and a werewolf?
50
No one.
51
How disappointing.
52
Please, sir, an animagus is a wizard who elects to turn into an animal.
53
A werewolf has no choice.
54
With each full moon, when he transforms, he no longer remembers who he is.
55
He'd kill his best friend if he crossed his path.
56
Furthermore, the whale will only respond to the call of its own kind.
57
Oh!
58
Thank you, Mr. Malfoy.
59
If that is the second time you've spoken out of turn, Miss Granger, are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?
60
He's got a point, you know.
61
Five points from Gryffindor.
62
As an antidote to your ignorance, and on my desk by Monday morning,
63
two rolls of parchment on the werewolf with particular emphasis on recognizing it.
64
Sir, it's Quidditch tomorrow.
65
Then I suggest you take extra care, Mr. Potter.
66
Loss of limb will not excuse you.
67
Page 394.
68
The term werewolf is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon word were,
69
Which means man and wolf, werewolf, man and wolf.
70
There are several ways to become a werewolf.
71
They include being given the power of shapeshifting.
72
Being given by a werewolf.
73
Intriguing, isn't it?
74
Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what is inside?
75
That's a bugger, that is.
76
Very good, Mr. Tucker.
77
Now can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?
78
No one knows.
79
When did she get here?
80
Boggarts are shapeshifters.
81
They take the shape of whatever a particular person fears the most.
82
That's what makes them so...
83
So terrifying, yes, yes, yes.
84
Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart.
85
Let's practice it now.
86
Without wands, please.
87
After me.
88
Ridiculous.
89
Ridiculous.
90
Very good.
91
A little louder and very clear.
92
Listen.
93
Ridiculous.
94
Ridiculous.
95
This class is ridiculous.
96
Very good.
97
Well, so much for the easy part.
98
You see, the incantation alone is not enough.
99
What really finishes a boggart is laughter.
100
You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing.
101
Let me explain.
102
Uh, devil, will you join me, please?
103
Come on, don't be shy.
104
Come on.
105
Come on.
106
Hello?
107
Never.
108
What frightens you most of all?
109
Professor Snape.
110
Sorry?
111
Professor Snape.
112
Professor Snape.
113
Frightens all.
114
And I believe you live with your grandmother.
115
Yes, but I don't want that boggart to turn into her either.
116
No. It won't.
117
I want you to picture her clothes, only her clothes very clearly in your mind.
118
She carries a red handbag.
119
We don't need to hear.
120
As long as you see it, we'll see it.
121
Now, when I open that wardrobe, here's what I want you to do.
122
Excuse me.
123
Imagine Professor Snape in your grandmother's clothes.
124
Can you do that?
125
Yes.
126
Wanda at the ready.
127
One, two, three.
128
Think, devil, think.
129
Ridiculous!
130
Wonderful, devil, wonderful, incredible.
131
OK, to the back, devil.
132
Everyone form a lie.
133
Form a lie.
134
I want everyone to picture the thing they fear the very most and turn it into something funny.
135
Next, Ron.
136
Concentrate.
137
Peace and fear. Be brave.
138
Oh, oh!
139
Bond at the ready, Ron.
140
Bond at the ready.
141
Ridiculous!
142
Yes!
143
You see?
144
Very good, very good.
145
Marvellous!
146
Absolutely very, very enjoyable.
147
Favanti!
148
Step up!
149
Show us what you say.
150
Keep your mouth steady.
151
Ridiculous!
152
Step up!
153
Step up! On next!
154
Step up!
155
Step up!
156
Step up!
157
Wonderful, wonderful.
158
It's ridiculous!
159
Oh!
160
All right, well, sorry about that.
161
That's enough for today.
162
If you'd all like to collect your books from the back of the class, that's the end of the lesson.
163
Thank you.
164
Sorry.
165
Sorry, go on.
166
You could have too much of a good thing.
167
Now, are you sure about this, Harry?
168
You know this is very advanced magic, well beyond the ordinary wizarding level.
169
I'm sure.
170
Well, everything's prepared.
171
Now the spell I'm going to try to teach you is called the Patronus charm.
172
Did you ever hear of it?
173
No?
174
Well, Patronus is a kind of positive force and for the wizard who can conjure one, it works something like a shield with a Dementor feeding on it rather than him.
175
But in order for it to work, you need to think of a memory.
176
Not just any memory, a very happy memory, a very powerful memory.
177
Can you do this?
178
Yes.
179
Very well.
180
Close your eyes.
181
Concentrate.
182
Explore your past.
183
Do you have a memory?
184
Allow it to fill you up.
185
Lose yourself within it.
186
Then speak the incantation, Expecto Patronum.
187
Expecto Patronum.
188
Very good. Shall we?
189
Wand is ready.
190
Expecto Patronum!
191
Expecto!
192
Expecto!
193
Yeah!
194
It's great.
195
Here we go.
196
Come on.
197
Sit up.
198
Deep breaths.
199
All right.
200
I didn't expect you to do it the first time.
201
That would have been remarkable.
202
Here.
203
Eat this.
204
You'll feel better.
205
That's one nasty Dementia.
206
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That was a boggart, Harry.
207
A boggart.
208
The real thing would be worse.
209
Much, much worse.
210
It's much worse.
211
As a matter of interest, what were you thinking?
212
Which memory did you choose?
213
The first time I rode a broom.
214
That's not good enough.
215
Not nearly good enough.
216
There's another.
217
It's not happy, exactly.
218
Well, it is.
219
It's the happiest I've ever felt.
220
But it's complicated.
221
Is it strong?
222
Then let's give it a try.
223
You feel ready?
224
Just do it.
225
Expecto Patronum!
226
Expecto Patronum!
227
Ha ha ha!
228
Yeah!
229
Well done, Harry.
230
Well done.
231
I think I've had enough. For today.
232
Yes, sit down here.
233
Eat this.
234
It helps.
235
It really helps.
236
And just so you know, Harry, I think you would have given your father a run for his money.
237
And that is saying something.
238
I was thinking of him. And Mum.
239
Seeing their faces.
240
They were talking to me.
241
Just talking.
242
That's the memory I chose.
243
I don't even know if it's real.
244
But it's the best I have.
245
You've done it, Neville.
246
You've found the Room of Requirement. For what?
247
It's also known as the Come and Go Room.
248
The rule of requirement only appears when a person has real need of it, and is always equipped for the Seeker's needs.
249
So, say you really needed the toy.
250
Charming, Ronald.
251
But yes, that is the general idea.
252
It's brilliant.
253
It's like Hogwarts wants us to fight back.
254
Expelliarmus!
255
I'm hopeless.
256
You're just flourishing your wand too much.
257
Try it like this.
258
Expelliarmus!
259
You will please copy the approved text four times to ensure maximum retention.
260
There will be no need to talk, you only need to think is more like it.
261
Exploramus.
262
Wands away!
263
Stunning is one of the most useful spells in your arsenal.
264
It's sort of a wizard's bread and butter, really.
265
So, um, come on then, Nigel.
266
Give it your best shot.
267
I'm sorry...
268
Step aside!
269
Good.. not bad.. at all.
270
No, just a little more, no. Don't worry.
271
I'll go easier.
272
Thanks, Will.
273
Come on, Ron.
274
Come on, Ron.
275
Come on, Ron.
276
One second, you're on.
277
Shut up.
278
Thank you.
279
Shut up.
280
I'd let her do that.
281
It's good, bad, isn't it?
282
It's...
283
It's completely intentional.
284
Oh, Pika.
285
Would you like a cup of tea?
286
Now focus on a thick zap point.
287
And try again.
288
Expelliarmus.
289
Expelliarmus!
290
Very good.
291
Keep your concentration.
292
Sandra?
293
Right?
294
A little higher.
295
Whoa!
296
I'm okay.
297
I'm okay.
298
The Inquisitorial Squad The Inquisitorial Squad The Inquisitorial Squad Stupid!
299
Stupid!
300
Stupid!
301
Stupid!
302
Stupid!
303
Stupid!
304
Stupid!
305
Those wishing to join the Inquisitorial Squad for extra credit may sign up in the High Inquisitor's Office.
306
To meet you, Edward!
307
Working hard is important, but there's something that matters even more believing in yourself
308
Think of it this way every great wizard in history started out
309
There's nothing more than what we are now students if they can do it Why not us?
310
You
311
Duperfied Expelliarmus Expelliarmus Expelliarmus Expelliarmus Agurto Agurto
312
It's Meliarmus!
313
It's Meliarmus!
314
It's Meliarmus!
315
Fantastic, Neville.
316
Well done.
317
So, that's it for this lesson.
318
Now, we're not going to be meeting again until after the holidays.
319
So just keep practising on your own as best you can.
320
And well done, everyone.
321
Great work.
322
Well done, mate.
323
Thanks.
324
Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little duelling club, to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves,
325
as I myself have done on countless occasions.
326
For full details, see my published work.
327
Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape.
328
He has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration.
329
Help me with a short demonstration.
330
Now, I don't want any of you youngsters to worry.
331
You'll still have your potions, Master, when I'm through with it.
332
Never fear.
333
One, two, three.
334
Expelliarmus!
335
Roar!
336
Do you think he's all right? Who cares?
337
An excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape, but if you don't mind me saying, it was pretty obvious what you were about to do.
338
And if I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy.
339
Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, Professor.
340
An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape.
341
Er...
342
Let's have a volunteer pair.
343
Potter, Weasley, how about you?
344
Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells.
345
We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox.
346
Might I suggest someone from my own house?
347
Malfoy, perhaps?
348
Good luck, Potter.
349
Thank you, sir.
350
Wands at the ready.
351
Scared, Potter.
352
You wish.
353
On the count of three, cast your charms to disarm your opponent.
354
Only to disarm.
355
We don't want any accidents here.
356
One.
357
Two.
358
Inversa in status!
359
Rictusempra!
360
I said disarm only!
361
Serpent-sortier!
362
Don't move, Potter.
363
I'll get rid of it for you.
364
Allow me, Professor Snape.
365
Volate ascendere!
366
I see it!
367
I see it!
368
Ipera Ivanasca.
369
What are you playing at?
370
There's no turning back.
371
As from this moment, the Triwizard Tournament has begun.
372
Thank you.
373
I'm sorry.
374
I'm sorry.
375
Alistair Moody.
376
Ex-horror.
377
Ministry malcontent in your new defence against the dark arts, teacher.
378
I am here because Dumbledore asked me.
379
End of story.
380
Goodbye.
381
The end.
382
Any questions?
383
When it comes to the dark arts, I believe in a practical approach.
384
But first, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are?
385
Three, sir.
386
And they are so named?
387
Because they are unforgivable, the use of any one of them will...
388
We'll earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban, correct?
389
Now, the minister says you're too young to see what these curses do.
390
I say different.
391
You need to know what you're up against.
392
You need to be prepared.
393
You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk, Mr. Finnegan.
394
Oh, no way.
395
The old cotter can see at the back of his head.
396
I'm here across classrooms.
397
So, which curse shall we see first?
398
Weasley!
399
Yes?
400
Stand!
401
Give us a curse.
402
Well, my dad did tell me about one.
403
The Imperious Curse.
404
Oh, yeah, your father would know all about that.
405
Gave the Ministry quite a bit of grief a few years ago.
406
Perhaps this will show you why.
407
I'm a very beautiful beauty.
408
Engorgio.
409
Imperial!
410
Nobody!
411
It's completely harmless!
412
If she bites, she's lethal.
413
What are you laughing at?
414
Talented, isn't she?
415
What should I have her do next?
416
Jump out the window?
417
Drown herself?
418
Scores of witches and wizards have claimed that they only did you-know-who's bidding under the influence of the Imperious Curse.
419
But here's the rub.
420
How do we sort out the liars?
421
Another.
422
Another.
423
Up, up.
424
Come on.
425
Long bottom, is it?
426
Up.
427
Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for herbology.
428
There's the, um.. the Cruciatus curse.
429
Correct!
430
Correct!
431
Come, come!
432
Particularly nasty.
433
The torture curse.
434
Crucio!
435
Stop it!
436
Can't you see this bothering him?
437
Stop it!
438
Um...
439
Perhaps you could give us the last unforgivable curse, Miss Granger.
440
Avada, Kedavra!
441
The happiest you can remember.
442
Allow it to fill you up.
443
Keep trying, Seamus.
444
George, your turn now.
445
Expecto Patronus!
446
A full-bodied Patronus is the most difficult to produce to produce, but shield forms can also be equally useful against a variety of opponents.
447
Wow, don't be easy!
448
Fantastic, Ginny!
449
Just remember, your Patronus can only protect you for as long as you stay focused, so focus, Luna!
450
Think of the happiest thing you can.
451
Expect a Patronus.
452
I'm trying.
453
Expect a Patronus.
454
It's good.
455
This is really advanced stuff, guys.
456
You're doing so well.
457
Look!
458
Go on, Chefs, go on, go on, get it.
459
I'm not married now.
460
Good morning, children.
461
Ordinary wizarding level examinations.
462
O-W-Ls.
463
More commonly known as...
464
OWLS.
465
Study hard and you will be rewarded.
466
fail to do so and the consequences may be severe.
467
Your previous instruction in this subject has been disturbingly uneven.
468
But you'll be pleased to know from now on you will be following a carefully structured, ministry-approved course of defensive magic.
469
Yes.
470
There's nothing in here about using defensive spells.
471
Using spells?
472
I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.
473
We're not going to use magic.
474
You will be learning about defensive spells in a secure, risk-free way.
475
What use is that?
476
If we're going to be attacked, it won't be risk-free.
477
Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class.
478
It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations,
479
which after all is what school is all about.
480
And how's theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?
481
There is nothing out there, dear.
482
Who do you imagine wants to attack children like yourself?
483
Oh, I don't know.
484
Maybe Lord Voldemort.
485
Now let me make this quite plain.
486
You have been told that a certain dark wizard is at large once again.
487
This is a lie.
488
It's not a lie.
489
I saw him.
490
I thought it.
491
Detention, Mr. Potter!
492
So, according to you, Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord?
493
Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident.
494
It was murder.
495
Voldemort killed him.
496
You must know that.
497
Enough!
498
Enough.
499
See me later.
500
Mr. Potter.
501
My office.

- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come curse, werewolf, wizard.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
