Pratica di Shadowing: The Best Scenes Added To Prisoner of Azkaban | Harry Potter: The Official Film Podcast | Ep. 4 Clip - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

When it comes to those scenes with Lupin and Harry, the first one I'm thinking of is the bridge scene, right?

They're talking about Lily.

They're talking about James.

And it's almost like this visual representation of the way that they learn to trust each other in that moment.

At one point, they're facing each other like teacher and student.

And then they face outward together like they are on the same level.

But when Lupin has to kind of talk about the darkness or something that he's uncomfortable talking about, that's when he turns his back to the camera.

And by the end, we're like seeing them both facing out of the bridge again.

And I love that because it parallels the Patronus charm lesson

where Harry is now the one detailing something dark that happened to his life with his back turned to Lupin.

And they end in a very similar way.

They're both kind of sitting down, facing out as equals.

And I think it's cool to see Harry not only have a professor he can trust, maybe a father figure he can trust, but a friend yeah an additional friend who we know will protect him

and give him chocolate like i do love

that scene it is a beautiful scene

and it's not from the book this is a scene

that has been created specifically for the film

and i feel like it gives us so much

because as i said lupin is one of my favorite characters

and it does kind of beg the question of where he's been all of harry's life

because understandably sirius was not around uh he could not be lupin actually could have been

and And I think that's one of the biggest kind of wrenches is

that he was always out there and he could have helped Harry and he goes on to help Harry.

But it feels like you feel that loss even more when you see what he could have been for Harry.

Yeah, totally.

But it is such an inspirational moment and the fact

that we actually get Harry having first hand conversations about his parents from their peers rather than, it's not just about appearances,

it's not just about you look like your father, although that does obviously come up, but Sirius also says that.

Yeah.

Because I guess it's just such an immediate thing.

But Lupin actually gives him a bit more texture about where he's come from, which is something that Harry's been so lacking in up until this point.

You're more like them than you think.

I think that must mean the world to Harry, to have not had those experiences and to know that James lives on in his like,

trouble- troublemaker side and Lily's kindness and empathy

and also I just have to shout it out the bridge

like this is the first time we're getting the bridge yes like the geography of Hogwarts looks

so good in this film it's widened out massively yeah

and then it becomes like um we see in Hogwarts legacy

like it now is the new kind of blueprint for Hogwarts

and it goes on to become massive in the battle of Hogwarts Totally.

Just from Alfonso Cuaron and the set designers, production designers, locations, all deciding we're going to change it.

We're going to mix it up.

And I kind of love that they're not afraid to do that.

Yeah.

And, you know, if you go to the first couple films, you'd almost forget like, oh, it did look like this.

Hagrid's hut was here before, but now it's like that is Hogwarts.

Right.

And I think there's a scene, another favorite scene of mine is the bird flying in the beginning.

I'm so glad you mentioned this because this is one of my favorites.

I just love that it's such an interesting visual way to be like, hey, this is what Hogwarts looks like now.

And these are the major locations of this film.

It's like he does such a good job foreshadowing so many things in this movie.

And that scene in particular.

Yeah.

So you have the bird.

So you're kind of watching it from the bird's eye view, watching it kind of like, but then it goes towards the Whomping Willow.

And they use the Whomping Willow not only to show like the changing of seasons, which I just think is such an extraordinary, it's not even subtle, but just beautiful way.

Instead of just being like, oh, it's snowing.

It's like, how are we going to show snow?

Are we going to show it on the Whomping Willow?

How are we going to show spring?

We're going to show the blossoms on the Whomping Willow.

And I just think it's so smart.

But then you also have the birds flying into the Whomping Willow and being snuffed out, essentially.

A lot of birds die in this one.

You do see a lot of death and destruction just in this one sea.

It's giving us so much with just this one repeated scene.

Yeah, with the Whomping Willow.

It's a character in itself in this one.

100%.

You know, I like asking who is your favorite.

I think in this one, it's kind of obvious.

It's Bem.

Does everyone know who we're talking about when we say Bem?

Echo Cordy, I think is the actor's name.

Yeah.

It's like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands.

Oh, my God.

Just bars from Bem, I think.

I love that scene.

I love those lines.

He's such a great, yeah.

Great lines.

Great character again, not in the book.

He's a brilliant addition.

And it's just like, he's just there.

He's almost like, he's kind of like the voice of doom.

Forboding.

A little bit.

Yeah.

But in such a poetic way.

Do you remember watching it for the first time and just being like, who is this kid?

Dude, what a downer.

Boy one in the credits, but Ben later.

Yeah.

I found that out but um yeah i love i love

that line i love that he gives us like some crazy exposition um

but yes scene stealer 100 yeah and i really like

100

that they don't attribute it to you know Seamus Finnegan is there they could do Seamus

101

but they're kind of like just trying to broaden out a

102

bit be like there are other pupils by the way yeah

103

this school is like full of other students yeah something else

104

that i love about Cuaron

105

which we've sort of touched on like the whimsy of it all

106

and the like the lived in magic

107

that you were talking about it's just all of the background details

108

that i feel like every time I rewatch Azkaban I see something new every single time

109

and I've watched it a lot

110

so like there's like the scene with all of the scenes with the fat lady every time we

111

because obviously we have the shot on her

112

and then we have the shot on the kids

113

and then you see behind the kids Sir Cadogan is in

114

this shot every single time in like a slightly different way he keeps like inserting himself into it

115

so Sir Cadogan is like a massive uh massive character he's

116

a character in the books he basically stands in for the fat lady

117

when she gets slashed by serious black in this he doesn't he's not named

118

but he's the knight he's in armor

119

and he's basically like this really hapless knight who just is a terrible kind of defense

120

but he thinks that he's amazing and i just love

121

that alfonso has kind of inserted that in for the fans knowing

122

that he wasn't going to be totally a voice or anything

123

but he's there if you look for him yeah do you have any of those little like moments

124

that you know like the ghosts coming through the great hall like before

125

that really long take where you know harry ron

126

and her minor talking at the table i think something like

127

that is really interesting like the headless hunt like

128

when they smash through the windows exactly

129

because it's like we don't don't focus a lot on ghosts yes in the films

130

and they're such a big part of how hogwarts functions yeah uh

131

and like the novel so it is cool to see like little like winks and nudges to

132

Harry Potter fans that are like who are like familiar with the source material to see

133

that in the films

134

and kind of just acknowledged in some way yeah feels good yeah 100 i also think he's like

135

that sort of filmmaker where you can take any shot from like any scene

136

and there will be a detail in there

137

that you don't necessarily focus on but

138

if you look for it you get like rewarded yeah that's

139

what i feel like whenever i watch this film i feel i get rewarded with something new

140

and as a film fan not just like a harry potter fan

141

but as a film fan you feel like you're watching somebody

142

who really understands what it is to go to the movies

143

and to have the full experience it's not about just the

144

plot it's not about just the main characters it's about the

145

whole tapestry of what it is to be in this world

146

with them yeah there's such a texture to the way

147

that everything is shot too

148

because you know you'd be really hard pressed to find static shots in this movie

149

and i think that adds to the diet like how dynamic it feels as a whole

150

but because of that like we talked about blocking a little bit

151

but it every scene is is blocked in such a perfect way you know there's a lot going on

152

but you don't necessarily notice that as a viewer you just feel it

153

and i think that's so big if you're asking me one of my favorite details that that I just recently noticed.

154

Always.

155

Is that when we get to the Buckbeak scene, Buckbeak poops.

156

Yes.

157

I didn't know that.

158

He does.

159

I was like, oh my God.

160

Buckbeak just pooped.

161

Amazing.

162

And that's so like lived in magic.

163

You know what I mean?

164

Like that's so realistic because horses be pooping.

165

Yeah.

166

You know, and he's half horse.

167

And so the hippogriffs.

168

Exactly.

169

But if we're going to go down the poop route, the minister for magic, Cornelius Fudge, when he's outside the three broomsticks,

170

also steps in actual horse poo.

171

Because he like, because Madame Rosmercia is like telling him off for sending the mentors into her pub.

172

And he like steps back from her straight into like a horse pat.

173

Now we got to rewatch the movie again.

174

It's so good.

175

Which is a good thing.

176

Yeah, always.

177

Thank you.

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.
