I'm not sure.

You're delicious.
14
Nope.
15
It's meant to be the most haunted building in Britain.
16
Did I mention that?
17
Twice.
18
Oh.
19
Do you want to move a bit closer?
20
Huh?
21
To the Shrieking Shack.
22
Oh, actually, I'm fine here.
23
Well, well, look who's here.
24
You two shopping for your new dream home?
25
Bit grand for you, isn't it, Weaselbee?
26
Don't your family sleep in one room?
27
Shut your mouth, Malfoy.
28
Ooh, not very friendly.
29
Boys, I think it's time we teach Weaselbee how to respect his superiors.
30
I hope you don't mean yourself.
31
How dare you talk to me?
32
You filthy little mudblood. Who is that?
33
Don't stand there! Do something!
34
What?
35
Ah!
36
What's up, Malfoy?
37
That's just...
38
Get out of the way!
39
Malfoy!
40
Wait!
41
Wait!
42
Harry!
43
Bloody hell, Harry.
44
That was not funny.
45
Those weasels.
46
Never told me about any marauders, Matt.
47
Harry isn't going to keep it.
48
He's going to turn it over to Professor McGonagall.
49
Aren't you?
50
Oh, sure.
51
Along with his invisibility cloak.
52
Oh, look who it is.
53
Madame Rosemartha.
54
Oh, Ron fancies her.
55
That's not true.
56
Professor McGonagall.
57
Hello, me, minister.
58
Oh, Hank.
59
Sorry about that.
60
Rosemartha, manager.
61
I hope business is good.
62
It'd be a lot better if the ministry wasn't sending the mentors into my pub every other night.
63
We have.. we have a killer on the loose.
64
Oh, Sirius Black in Hogsmeade.
65
And what would bring him here?
66
Harry Potter.
67
Harry Potter?
68
Shh, come for me.
69
Come for me.
70
Harry!
71
Oh, I see.
72
I say, no other age wizards allowed in today.
73
Shut the damn door! So rude!
74
Figgots!
75
Wicked!
76
How dare they want to be calling figgots!
77
Young with the snuffers!
78
Nobody's gonna come to a pub where they're gonna get scared out of their wits.
79
I guess the Dumbledore is gonna go to the natives around the place, I can assure you.
80
Now, tell me what this is all about.
81
Well, years ago, when Harry Potter's parents realised they were marked for rest, they went into hiding.
82
Few knew where they were.
83
One who did was Sirius Black.
84
And he told
85
You -Know -Who.
86
Not only did
87
Black lead You -Know -Who to the Potters that night, but he also killed one of their friends, Peter Pettigrew.
88
Peter?
89
Peter Pettigrew?
90
Yes, little lump of a boy, always trailing after Sirius Black.
91
I remember him.
92
Never let Sirius out of his sight.
93
Peter Pettigrew tried to warn the Potters and might have managed to had he not run into an old thing.
94
Sirius Black.
95
Black was vicious.
96
He didn't kill Pettigrew.
97
He destroyed him.
98
Mm -hm.
99
A finger.
100
That all was left a finger.
101
Nothing else.
102
Yes.
103
Sirius Black may not have put his hands to the Potters, but he's the reason they're dead.
104
Now he wants to finish what he started.
105
I don't believe it.
106
That's not the worst of it.
107
What could be worse?
108
Bess, Sirius Black was and remains to this day...
109
Harry Potter's Godfather.
110
Run!
111
Look!
112
Sorry, sorry, excuse me.
113
Excuse me.
114
Sorry.
115
It's Miriam.
116
Harry, what happened?
117
He was their friend. And he betrayed them.
118
He was their friend!
119
I hope he finds me.
120
Because when he does, I'm gonna be ready.
121
When he does, I'm gonna kill him!
122
This is mad!
123
Who'd wanna be taught by me?
124
I'm a nutter, remember?
125
Look on the bright side.
126
You can't be any worse than old toadface.
127
Thanks, Ron.
128
I'm here for you, mate.
129
Who's supposed to be meeting us, then?
130
Just a couple of people.
131
Lovely spot.
132
Thought it would be safer somewhere off the beaten track.
133
Come back here.
134
Um.
135
Hi.
136
So, you all know why we're here.
137
We need a teacher.
138
Proper teacher.
139
One who's had real experience defending themselves against the dark arts.
140
Why?
141
Why?
142
Because you know who's back, you toshpot.
143
So he says.
144
So Dumbledore says.
145
So Dumbledore says because he says.
146
The point is, where's the proof?
147
If Potter could tell us more about how Diggory got killed.
148
I'm not going to talk about Cedric, so if that's why you're here, you might as well clear out now.
149
Come on, let's go.
150
They're just here because they think I'm some sort of freak.
151
Wait, wait.
152
Is it true you can produce a Patronus chime?
153
Yes.
154
I've seen it.
155
Blimey, Harry.
156
I didn't know you could do that.
157
And he killed a basilisk.
158
With a sword in Dumbledore's office.
159
It's true.
160
Third year, he fought with about a hundred dementors at once.
161
And last year, he really did fight off you -know -who in the flesh.
162
Wait.
163
Look.
164
It all sounds great when you say it like that, but the truth is most of that was just luck.
165
I didn't know what I was doing half the time.
166
I nearly always had help.
167
He's just being modest.
168
No, Hermione, I'm not.
169
Facing this stuff in real life is not like school.
170
In school, if you make a mistake, you can just try again tomorrow,
171
but out there, when you're a second away from being murdered or watching a friend die right before your eyes.
172
You don't know what that's like.
173
You're right, Harry, we don't.
174
That's why we need your help.
175
Because if we're going to have any chance of beating...
176
Voldemort.
177
He's really back.
178
For weeks you carry around this book, practically sleep with it, and yet you have no desire to find out who the Half -Blood Prince is.
179
I didn't say I wasn't curious and I don't sleep with it.
180
Well, it's true.
181
I like a nice chat before I go to bed.
182
Now you do, you read that bloody book.
183
It's like being with the mining.
184
Well, I was curious.
185
So I went to the library. And? And nothing.
186
I couldn't find a reference anywhere to a half -blood prince.
187
There we go.
188
That settles it then.
189
Yeah.
190
Hoping to find you and the three broomsticks.
191
Er, no. Emergency choir practice, I'm afraid, Horace.
192
Does anyone fancy a butterbeer?
193
A chum of mine was sledging down Clagsby Hill.
194
We had a very long, homemade, Norwegian -style sledging.
195
No, not that.
196
We battled down.
197
We hit what must have been a snowfall.
198
No, sit beside me.
199
It's that.
200
OK.
201
Something to drink?
202
Um, three butterbears and some ginger and wine, please.
203
Oh, bloody hell.
204
Slip girl.
205
Obviously, we're all lonely holding hands. And snogging.
206
I'd like to leave.
207
What?
208
You can't be serious.
209
That happens to be my sister. So?
210
What if she looked over here and saw you snogging me?
211
Would you expect her to get up and leave?
212
Hey, my boy.
213
Alistair, wonderful to see you.
214
And you, and you.
215
So, what brings you here?
216
Oh, three broomsticks and I go way back further than I care to admit.
217
I can remember when it was one broomstick.
218
All hands on deck, Granger.
219
Listen, my boy, in the old days, I used to throw together the occasional supper party.
220
A select student or two.
221
Would you be game?
222
I'd consider it an honor, sir.
223
You'd be welcome too, Granger.
224
I'd be delighted, sir.
225
Splendid.
226
Look for my owl.
227
Good to see you all on me.
228
What are you playing at?
229
Dumbledore's asked me to get to know him.
230
Get to know him?
231
I don't know.
232
It must be important.
233
If it wasn't, Dumbledore wouldn't ask.
234
Let's go.
235
I've gone a little bit.
236
Katie, you don't know what it could be.
237
Harry, what?
238
I know what I'm doing.
239
Did you hear what she was saying back at the pub about me and her slogging?
240
How? As if.
241
I warned her.
242
I warned her not to touch it.
243
Don't get any closer.
244
Get back, all of you!
245
Do not touch that, except for the rapids.
246
Do you understand?
247
I'm going to go.
248
Potter! In here, Potter.
249
I'm sorry.
250
I'm sorry.
251
I'm sorry.
252
I'm sorry.
253
I'm sorry.
254
I'm sorry.
255
I'm sorry.
256
I'm sorry.
257
I'm sorry.
258
I'm sorry.
259
I'm sorry.
260
I'm sorry.
261
I can see you in this.
262
You bloody fools.
263
What were you thinking coming here?
264
Have you any idea how dangerous it is?
265
You're Aberforth.
266
Dumbledore's brother.
267
It's you who I've been seeing in here.
268
You're the one who sent Dobby.
269
Where have you left him?
270
He's dead.
271
Sorry to hear it.
272
I like that, Ilf.
273
Who gave that to you?
274
The mirror.
275
Modungus Fletcher.
276
About a year ago.
277
Dung had no right selling that to you.
278
It belonged to...
279
Serious.
280
Albus told me.
281
He also told me you'd likely be hacked off if you ever found out I had it.
282
But ask yourself, where would you be if I didn't?
283
Do you hear from the others much?
284
From the Order?
285
The Order's finished.
286
You know who's won.
287
Anyone who says otherwise is killing themselves.
288
We need to get into Hogwarts.
289
Tonight.
290
Dumbledore gave us a job to do.
291
Dizzy now.
292
Nice job.
293
Easy.
294
We've been hunting Horcruxes.
295
We think the last one's inside the castle, but we'll need your help getting in.
296
It's not a job my brother's given you.
297
It's a suicide mission.
298
Do yourself a favor, boy.
299
Go home.
300
Live a little longer.
301
Dumbledore trusted me to see this through.
302
What makes you think you can trust him?
303
What makes you think you can believe anything my brother told you in all the time
304
you knew him did he ever mention my name did he ever mention hers why should he keep secrets
305
you tell me i trusted him that's a boy's answer
306
a boy who goes chasing horcruxes
307
and the word of a man who wouldn't even tell him where to start you're lying not just to me
308
that doesn't matter to yourself as well that's what a fool does
309
You don't strike me as a fool, Harry Potter.
310
So I'll ask you again.
311
There must be a reason.
312
I'm not interested in what happened between you and your brother.
313
I don't care that you've given up.
314
I trusted the man I knew.
315
We need to get into the castle tonight.
316
You know what to do.
317
Where have you sent her?
318
You'll see.
319
Some enough.
320
That's your sister, Ariana, isn't it?
321
She died very young, didn't she?
322
My brother sacrificed many things, Mr. Potter, on his journey to find power, including Ariana.
323
And she was devoted to him.
324
He gave her everything... but time.
325
Thank you, Mr. Dumbledore.
326
Did save our lives twice.
327
Kept an eye on us in that mirror.
328
That doesn't seem like someone who's given up.
329
She's coming back.
330
Who's that with her?
331
Neville, you look like hell I reckon.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
