1
When it comes to those scenes with Lupin and Harry, the first one I'm thinking of is the bridge scene, right?
2
They're talking about Lily.
3
They're talking about James.
4
And it's almost like this visual representation of the way that they learn to trust each other in that moment.
5
At one point, they're facing each other like teacher and student.
6
And then they face outward together like they are on the same level.
7
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.
8
And by the end, we're like seeing them both facing out of the bridge again.
9
And I love that because it parallels the Patronus charm lesson
10
where Harry is now the one detailing something dark that happened to his life with his back turned to Lupin.
11
And they end in a very similar way.
12
They're both kind of sitting down, facing out as equals.
13
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
14
and give him chocolate like i do love
15
that scene it is a beautiful scene
16
and it's not from the book this is a scene
17
that has been created specifically for the film
18
and i feel like it gives us so much
19
because as i said lupin is one of my favorite characters
20
and it does kind of beg the question of where he's been all of harry's life
21
because understandably sirius was not around uh he could not be lupin actually could have been
22
and And I think that's one of the biggest kind of wrenches is
23
that he was always out there and he could have helped Harry and he goes on to help Harry.
24
But it feels like you feel that loss even more when you see what he could have been for Harry.
25
Yeah, totally.
26
But it is such an inspirational moment and the fact
27
that we actually get Harry having first hand conversations about his parents from their peers rather than, it's not just about appearances,
28
it's not just about you look like your father, although that does obviously come up, but Sirius also says that.
29
Yeah.
30
Because I guess it's just such an immediate thing.
31
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.
32
You're more like them than you think.
33
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,
34
trouble- troublemaker side and Lily's kindness and empathy
35
and also I just have to shout it out the bridge
36
like this is the first time we're getting the bridge yes like the geography of Hogwarts looks
37
so good in this film it's widened out massively yeah
38
and then it becomes like um we see in Hogwarts legacy
39
like it now is the new kind of blueprint for Hogwarts
40
and it goes on to become massive in the battle of Hogwarts Totally.
41
Just from Alfonso Cuaron and the set designers, production designers, locations, all deciding we're going to change it.
42
We're going to mix it up.
43
And I kind of love that they're not afraid to do that.
44
Yeah.
45
And, you know, if you go to the first couple films, you'd almost forget like, oh, it did look like this.
46
Hagrid's hut was here before, but now it's like that is Hogwarts.
47
Right.
48
And I think there's a scene, another favorite scene of mine is the bird flying in the beginning.
49
I'm so glad you mentioned this because this is one of my favorites.
50
I just love that it's such an interesting visual way to be like, hey, this is what Hogwarts looks like now.
51
And these are the major locations of this film.
52
It's like he does such a good job foreshadowing so many things in this movie.
53
And that scene in particular.
54
Yeah.
55
So you have the bird.
56
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.
57
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.
58
Instead of just being like, oh, it's snowing.
59
It's like, how are we going to show snow?
60
Are we going to show it on the Whomping Willow?
61
How are we going to show spring?
62
We're going to show the blossoms on the Whomping Willow.
63
And I just think it's so smart.
64
But then you also have the birds flying into the Whomping Willow and being snuffed out, essentially.
65
A lot of birds die in this one.
66
You do see a lot of death and destruction just in this one sea.
67
It's giving us so much with just this one repeated scene.
68
Yeah, with the Whomping Willow.
69
It's a character in itself in this one.
70
100%.
71
You know, I like asking who is your favorite.
72
I think in this one, it's kind of obvious.
73
It's Bem.
74
It's Bem.
75
Does everyone know who we're talking about when we say Bem?
76
Echo Cordy, I think is the actor's name.
77
Yeah.
78
It's like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands.
79
Oh, my God.
80
Just bars from Bem, I think.
81
I love that scene.
82
I love those lines.
83
He's such a great, yeah.
84
Great lines.
85
Great character again, not in the book.
86
He's a brilliant addition.
87
And it's just like, he's just there.
88
He's almost like, he's kind of like the voice of doom.
89
Forboding.
90
A little bit.
91
Yeah.
92
But in such a poetic way.
93
Do you remember watching it for the first time and just being like, who is this kid?
94
Dude, what a downer.
95
Boy one in the credits, but Ben later.
96
Yeah.
97
I found that out but um yeah i love i love
98
that line i love that he gives us like some crazy exposition um
99
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.
このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、映画『ハリー・ポッターとアズカバンの囚人』のトランスクリプトを使用して、英会話スキルを向上させるための練習を行います。特に、キャラクターたちの信頼関係や感情のやり取り、物語の背景に関する語彙を深く理解し、実際に会話に活かせるようにします。シャドーイングのテクニックを使って、リズムや発音を磨くことも目的です。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- 信頼 (trust): 他者を信用すること。
- 感情 (emotion): 心の中の感覚や感情。
- 教授 (professor): 教える立場にある人。
- 友人 (friend): 友達。
- 過去 (past): 過去の出来事や経験。
- 風景 (landscape): 自然の景色や環境。
- 小道 (path): 道。特に歩くためのルート。
- 活気 (vibrancy): 生き生きとした様子。
練習のコツ
このトランスクリプトの内容は、感情や会話の流れが重要ですので、英語シャドーイングを行う際には、スピードに注意を払いましょう。話者がリズムを保っている部分を強調し、彼らのトーンを模倣することが大切です。特に、ルーピンとハリーの対話の部分では、言葉の抑揚が感情を表現するための鍵となります。最初はゆっくりと繰り返し、その後スピードを上げてみてください。シャドーイングサイトやshadowspeakなどを活用することもおすすめです。また、IELTS スピーキング対策としても、このアプローチは非常に効果的です。会話のリズムを掴むことで、より自然な英語を話すことができるようになります。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
