1
You're not going mad.
2
I can see them too.
3
You're just as sane as I am.
4
Everyone, this is Loony Love...
5
Luna Lovegood.
6
What an interesting necklace.
7
It's a charm, actually.
8
It keeps away the nargles.
9
Hungry?
10
I hope there's pudding.
11
Hello, Harry Potter.
12
Your feet.
13
Aren't they cold?
14
A bit.
15
Unfortunately all my shoes have mysteriously disappeared.
16
I suspect Nargles are behind it.
17
What are they?
18
They're called testers.
19
They're quite gentle really, but people avoid them because they're a bit...
20
Different.
21
But why can't the others save them?
22
They can only be seen by people who've seen death.
23
So you've known someone who's died then?
24
My mum.
25
She was quite an extraordinary witch, but she did like to experiment, and one day one of her spells went badly wrong.
26
I was nine.
27
I'm sorry.
28
Yes, it was rather horrible.
29
I do feel very sad about it sometimes.
30
But I've got Dad.
31
We both believe you, by the way.
32
That he who must not be named is back, and you fought him, and the Ministry and the Prophet are conspiring against you and Dumbledore.
33
Thanks.
34
Seems you're about the only ones that do.
35
I don't think that's true.
36
I suppose that's how he wants you to feel.
37
What do you mean?
38
Well, if I were you-know-who, I'd want you to feel cut off from everyone else.
39
Because if it's just you alone, you're not as much of a threat.
40
I'm not gonna talk about Cedric, so if that's why you're here, you might as well clear out now.
41
Come on, Hermione, let's go.
42
They're just here because they think I'm some sort of freak.
43
Wait, wait.
44
Is it true you can't produce a Patronus chime?
45
Stupefy!
46
Expelliarmus!
47
Expelliarmus!
48
Expelliarmus!
49
Better for Trump.
50
It wasn't pretty.
51
I told him I was hungry.
52
He wanted some sweets.
53
Of course, they told me to bugger off and ate the lot themselves. That was clever, Ron.
54
It's been long to happen.
55
It was brilliant.
56
So, how are we getting to London?
57
Look, it's not that I don't appreciate everything you've done, all of you, but...
58
Look, I've got you into enough trouble as it is.
59
Dumbledore's armour is supposed to be about doing something real?
60
Or is that all just words to you?
61
Maybe you don't have to do this all by yourself, mate.
62
So how are we going to get to London?
63
We fly, of course.
64
Levicorpus!
65
Levicorpus!
66
Levicorpus!
67
Levicorpus!
68
Levicorpus!
69
Levicorpus!
70
Levicorpus!
71
Levicorpus!
72
Levicorpus!
73
Levicorpus!
74
How come you're not at the feast?
75
They're stole my possessions.
76
Apparently people have been hiding them.
77
That's awful.
78
Oh, it's all good fun.
79
But as is the last night, I really do need them back.
80
Do you want any help finding them?
81
I'm sorry about your godfather, Harry.
82
Are you sure you don't want any help looking?
83
That's all right.
84
Anyway, my mum always said things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end.
85
If not always in the way we expect, I think I'll just go have some pudding.
86
Niche!
87
Hello, Harry.
88
Luna, how do you know where I was?
89
Raxpert.
90
Your head's full of them.
91
Sorry I made you Mr. Carradless, by the way, Luna.
92
That's all right.
93
It's like being with a friend.
94
I am your friend, Luna.
95
That's nice.
96
Oh, about time.
97
I've been looking all over for you two.
98
Right.
99
Names?
100
Professor Flitwick, you've known me for five years.
101
No exceptions, Potter.
102
Who are those people?
103
Auras. For security.
104
What's his cane here, then?
105
It's not a cane, you crudon.
106
It's a walking stick.
107
And what exactly would you be with a walker?
108
It would be construed as an offensive weapon.
109
It's all right, Mr Filch.
110
I can vouch for Mr Malfoy.
111
Nice face, Potter.
112
Would you like me to fix it for you?
113
Personally, I think you look a bit more devil-may-care this way, but it's up to you.
114
Um, have you ever fixed a nose before?
115
No, but I've done several toes, and how different are they, really?
116
Um, okay, yeah, give it a go.
117
Episci.
118
Ah!
119
Oh!
120
Oh!
121
Oh!
122
Oh!
123
Oh!
124
Oh!
125
Oh!
126
How do I look?
127
Exceptionally ordinary.
128
Brilliant.
129
I'm resigning.
130
After today's match, McLaggen could have a nice spot.
131
How about your weight?
132
Juice.
133
Sure.
134
Hello, everyone.
135
You look dreadful, Ron.
136
Is that why you put something in his cup? Is it a tonic?
137
Liquid luck.
138
Don't drink it, Ron.
139
You could be expelled for that.
140
I don't know what you're talking about.
141
Come on, Harry.
142
We've got a game to win.
143
I'm not
144
going to die.
145
Yes!
146
Woohoo!
147
Oh, yeah!
148
Yeah!
149
Yeah!
150
I've never been to this part of the castle.
151
At least not while awake.
152
I sleepwalk, you see.
153
That's why I wear shoes to bed.
154
Hello, Harry.
155
I've interrupted a deep thought, haven't I?
156
I can see it growing smaller in your eyes.
157
Of course not.
158
How are you, Luna?
159
Very well.
160
Got bitten by a garden gnome only moments ago.
161
Gnome saliva is very beneficial.
162
Xenophilius love good.
163
We live just over the hill.
164
Pleasure to meet you, sir.
165
I trust you know, Mr. Potter, that we at the Quibbler
166
and like those toadies at the Daily Prophet fully supported Dumbledore in his lifetime and in his death
167
support you just as fully.
168
Thank you.
169
Come, Daddy.
170
Harry doesn't want to talk to us right now.
171
He's just too polite to say to.
172
Harry Potter.
173
Harry?
174
Luna?
175
We have to do something.
176
There's no way out of here.
177
We've tried everything.
178
It's enchanted.
179
You're bleeding, Harry.
180
It's a curious thing to keep in your sock.
181
Help us.
182
Let her go.
183
Shut up.
184
Get back.
185
You...
186
Goblin.
187
Come with me.
188
Oh, oh.
189
Dobby?
190
What are you doing here?
191
Dobby's come to rescue Harry Potter, of course.
192
Dobby will always be there for Harry Potter.
193
Are you saying you can operate in and out of this room?
194
Could you take us with you?
195
Of course, I'm an elf.
196
Looks for me.
197
Right, Dobby, I want you to take Luna and Mr. Ollivander.
198
Shell cottage on the outskirts of Timworth.
199
Trust me.
200
Whenever you're ready, sir.
201
Sir, I like her very much.
202
Okay.
203
There's something we need to find.
204
Something hidden here in the castle.
205
And it may help us defeat you-know-who.
206
Right.
207
What is it?
208
We don't know. Where is it?
209
We don't know that either.
210
I realise it's not much to go on.
211
That's nothing to go on.
212
I think it has something to do with Ravenclaw.
213
Um, it'll be small, easily concealed.
214
Anyone any ideas?
215
Well, there's Rowena Ravenclaw's last diadem.
216
Oh, buddy, here we go.
217
Lost diadem of Ravenclaw?
218
Hasn't anyone heard of it?
219
It's quite famous.
220
Harry!
221
Harry!
222
Harry, wait!
223
I need to talk to you!
224
I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment.
225
You won't find anything where you're going.
226
You're wasting your time.
227
Look, we'll talk later, okay, Luna?
228
Harry!
229
Later!
230
Harry Potter!
231
You listen to me right now!
232
Don't you remember what Cho said about Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem?
233
There's not a person alive who's seen us.
234
It's obvious, isn't it?
235
We have to talk to someone who's dead.
236
It's very impressive, isn't it?
237
If you're to find her, you'll find her down there.
238
Aren't you coming?
239
No. I think it's best if you two talk alone.
240
She's very shy.
241
Thank you.

Vocabulary and speaking notes for this lesson
This B1 speaking lesson is built on the video “Every Luna Lovegood Scene”. The speaker keeps coming back to these words: Harry, levicorpus, Luna, Potter. This video has 241 sentences and 1235 words to shadow. The speech runs for 15:31. The speaker talks slowly, about 80 words per minute, so there is time to copy every sound. Only 81% of the words are among the 3,000 most common in English, so the vocabulary is demanding. 44 of its 241 sentences are questions, so it is good practice for question intonation and short answers.

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.
