Hey everybody, this is Chris and welcome back to another English learning video.

In this video we're going to be looking at different accents in Harry Potter.

A lot of people when they think of British accents they think of Harry Potter.

So I thought it'd be really cool to have a look at some scenes from Harry Potter

and see what we can learn from the different accents in the films.

And the first scene I've chosen is from the first film.

It's where Harry is just about to go on the Hogwarts Express train to go to Hogwarts school.

Okay, if you've seen the film you'll know about this.

So let's have a look at this scene together.

I'm only joking.

I am Fred.

Excuse me.

Okay, so notice the way he says excuse me even though excuse it starts with the letter E,

but it's actually pronounced excuse Excuse me.

We stress the excuse part Excuse me.

That's the first thing he says.

Could you tell me how to...

How to get onto the platform?

It's not too well indeed.

It's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well.

Now all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10.

Best do it as a bit of a run with you, Alice.

Notice the way she says Hogwarts.

This is using the very British sound.

Oh, hog, Hogwarts.

If it was American English it would be hog, but here it's hog, Hogwarts.

Okay, she also says walk into the wall.

You get this long OR vowel sound.

Walk into the wall.

Okay, so let's see how he does that.

Good luck!

Excuse me?

Do you mind?

Everywhere else is full.

Not at all.

Okay, so Ron is coming into the train and he speaks in a different way to Harry.

Harry speaks in a very clear way.

He speaks in very proper English, a little bit posh English.

But Ron speaks in a much more casual way.

So again, he said, excuse me.

Then instead of saying, do you mind?

He said, do you, do you mind?

So this do is shortened to do you mind?

Do you mind?

And then he goes and sits down.

I'm Ron, by the way.

Ron Weasley.

I'm Harry.

Harry Potter.

So here you can clearly hear the difference in the way they speak.

Harry has more of a standard received pronunciation accent and Ron speaks in a more casual way.

So when he says by the way, he says it sounds like by the why, by the why, by the why.

and Harry Potter.

When people think of the British accent, they think of Harry Potter, right?

So he actually pronounces both of the T's in Harry Potter.

Harry Potter.

He doesn't say Harry Potter.

He says Harry Potter.

And again, he gets this very British O sound in the middle

Potter And then it has an U at the end O U Potter

Harry Potter So he's pronouncing this in a very proper way So, so it's true?

I mean, do you really have the.. the...

The what?

Even when he says the what, he doesn't say the what.

A lot of people, when they were saying what, they would say what, what.

Like, what you mean?

What are you doing?

But he says what, pronouncing the T again, speaking very properly.

So there's an example of British slang.

In the Harry Potter films, you get a lot of very British slang words.

Wicked means something that's really cool or really good.

It's not really said so much nowadays, but probably it was back then.

Anything off the trolley dears?

No, thanks.

I'm all set.

So he says, I'm all set.

What does all set mean?

It means I've got everything I need.

I don't need anything else.

So that's what he's meaning here.

We'll take the lot.

Again he said lot, pronouncing that oh sound again and the t at the end of the word lot, lot.

Whoa, Bertie Bot's every flavour beans, they mean every flavour.

There's chocolate and peppermint and there's also spinach, liver and tripe.

So listen to the way he says tripe here.

So, tribe is talking about internal organs of animals.

And he pronounces it like tripe, tripe, tripe, instead of tripe.

So, it's a slight difference in the accent.

And the way he says also is also quite interesting.

He doesn't say also.

He shortens this to also, also.

So, some people will do this.

They will drop sounds in the middle of words when they speak.

It's not strictly standard British pronunciation, but it's what a lot of people will do.

George sweared he got a bogey flavoured one month.

What does bogey mean?

100

He's talking about the snot that comes out of your nose.

101

The bean is bogey flavoured.

102

These aren't real frogs are they?

103

It's just a spell.

104

Besides, it's the card you want.

105

Each pack's got a famous switch to a wizard.

106

Again, so he says want.

107

Want, he doesn't say want, he drops the T at the end of the word, it changes to a glottal stop.

108

Want, want, like that.

109

About 500 meself.

110

Watch it!

111

That's rotten luck.

112

I've only got one good jump in them to begin with.

113

I've got Dumbledore!

114

I got about six of him.

115

So.. has anyone seen a toad?

116

So notice the way she says toad, she uses this long diphthong sound, oh.

117

And if you want to speak in a very native-like British accent, you need to get these diphthong sounds right.

118

The long sounds like oh, oi, and other sounds like that.

119

These are very important.

120

A boy named Neville's lost one.

121

No. Oh, are you doing magic?

122

Let's see then.

123

Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow.

124

Turn this stupid fat right yellow.

125

Are you sure that's a real spell?

126

So notice the way she says sure here.

127

Again, this or diphthong sound very characteristic to British English.

128

Some people would also pronounce this sure, sure, but she says sure.

129

Are you sure?

130

Well it's not very good is it? Of course.

131

So you'll notice that Hermione also speaks in a very proper way.

132

She says all the t's at the end of her words.

133

Instead of is it, she says is it, is it, with the t sound at the end of the word.

134

I've only tried a few simple ones myself but they will work for me.

135

She really emphasizes the word simple ones myself.

136

Getting the right emphasis is also very important in English.

137

Example!

138

Notice the way she says for example this ah sound is a very long vowel sound characteristic of received pronunciation.

139

Ah you don't get this in American English.

140

Example.

141

R. Oculus Repair Room.

142

That's better, isn't it?

143

Isn't it?

144

Again, she pronounces the first T, but not the last T.

145

She doesn't say isn't it.

146

She says isn't it.

147

Bickett, you're Harry Potter.

148

I'm Hermione Granger.

149

Again, she says Potter.

150

Potter.

151

and that's that word again Harry Potter and you are?

152

um Ron Measley pleasure you two better change into your robes I expect we'll be arriving soon

153

and she's got this robes this oh long diphthong sound robes means the magic cape that you wear

154

you've got dirt on your nose by the way did you know?

155

Just that.

156

And listen to the way she says dirt.

157

Again, ur.

158

This is a very British sound.

159

Dirt.

160

Dirt on your nose.

161

So, this is used a lot in received pronunciation in words like her, shirt, and dirt.

162

So, another sound to pay attention to.

163

So, we've looked at Harry Potter, Ron, and Hermione.

164

But there are actually a lot of different British accents that you'll hear in Harry Potter.

165

Because as you know, the British accent, it's not one accent.

166

There are loads of different accents in different parts of the UK.

167

So let's listen on and see what else we can hear from some different scenes.

168

Can you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if we were late?

169

Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch.

170

So here you can hear Professor McGonagall.

171

She has a very posh, or you could say upper class kind of accent.

172

And it sounds like she's almost not opening her mouth fully

173

when she speaks because she's trying to speak very precisely just like that.

174

Perhaps it would be more useful.

175

She speaks a little bit more like that.

176

And she uses the word transfigure.

177

What does that mean?

178

It means to change something into something else by magic.

179

I'm a rabbit passing home.

180

What's Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?

181

Turn it to rum?

182

So you can see this boy here.

183

What kind of accent did he have?

184

He has an Irish accent.

185

His name is Seamus in the books.

186

And this is another example of a regional accent

187

that you can hear in Harry One of the sounds you can hear is the R, R.

188

In the Irish accent you get more of an R sound than in a standard receipt pronunciation.

189

I do the counter curse.

190

You just set my bloody kneecaps on fire.

191

I don't appreciate the insinuation alone, but my eyebrows have completely grown back.

192

You can hear here he says curse.

193

In standard receipt pronunciation this would be curse, but in this Irish accent it's curse.

194

Curse it's got more of an er sound in it more of a erotic sound

195

And you can also hear that he says eyebrows instead of saying ow in this word eyebrows He says eyebrows

196

Brows is more of the Irish pronunciation

197

Stop stop stop You're going to take someone's eye out.

198

Besides, you're saying it wrong.

199

It's leviosa, not leviosa.

200

Okay, so these are actually made-up magic words, right?

201

But she uses this R sound again.

202

I talked about this as a very important sound in the British accent.

203

And she's talking about the stress of the word, leviosa.

204

So, stress is very important in English.

205

You need to put the stress on the right part of the word in order to sound like a native.

206

I talk about this in some of my other videos as well.

207

Check this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading.

208

This is light.

209

Then I'll let them to Dumbledore to guard the...

210

Yes.

211

Shouldn't have said that.

212

No more questions.

213

Don't ask any more questions.

214

What that dog is guarding is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.

215

So Hagrid has a very unique accent in this series of films as well

216

because he has a slight west country

217

or southwestern accent from the southwest of England

218

and this is what's called erotic accent

219

so he will pronounce the R's in words so instead of saying guarding he will say guarding,

220

garden, garden like that so this is one of the features of this accent.

221

Instead of saying that dog, he would say that dog.

222

Dog.

223

Dog.

224

It's more of an ah sound, almost like an American accent, but this is a regional accent in the UK.

225

So as I said, you can hear different accents in this film.

226

Starting is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.

227

Nicolas Flamel?

228

I shouldn't have said that.

229

I should not have said that.

230

Instead of saying not he said not I should not have said that.

231

Okay, so this is his unique accent Well,

232

you have to be trained up a bit of course Okay, so I really hope you enjoyed this video

233

Сценарий: Путешествие на Поезд Хогвартса

В видео разбирается сцена из первого фильма о Гарри Поттере, где Рон и Гарри встречаются на платформе и выходят на поезд. Это типичная разговорная ситуация: знакомство, вопрос о маршруте, приглашение сесть. Такие диалоги идеально подходят для практики разговорного английского — они просты, естественные и полны живых выражений, которые можно использовать в повседневной жизни.

Полезные фразы и сочетания для запоминания

"Excuse me" — простое, но ключевое выражение для привлечения внимания. В британском акценте оно произносится с ударением на первом слове: iks-KYOOZ mi.
"Do you mind?" — вопрос, чтобы проверить, не мешает ли действие. Рон сокращает "do you" до d'you, что делает речь более непринужденной: "D'you mind?".
"Walk straight at the wall" — фраза с длинным звуком ɔː в "walk" и "wall" (в британском акценте это звучит как wɔːk и wɔːl).
"Best do it as a bit of a run" — совет с неформальным тоном. "Best do it" заменяет "You should do it", а "a bit of a run" — это "немного побежать".
"Not at all" — ответ на "Do you mind?", который означает "Ни в коем случае нет". Легко запомнить и часто используется.

Твоё задание: Shadow Speak Challenge

Чтобы быстро улучшить произношение и интонацию, попробуй shadow speak (отзвучка). Скачай видео, остановь его после каждой реплики (например, после "Excuse me" или "Do you mind?") и повтори за актером: копируй темп, ударения и звуки. Сначала делай это медленно, потом набирай скорость. Проверь, как ты произносишь "Hogwarts" — в британском акценте это ˈhɒɡwɔːts, а не ˈhɔːɡwɔːrts (американский вариант). Это простой, но эффективный способ практики разговорного английского, который работает даже за 10–15 минут в день. Учи английский с YouTube — такие сценарии делают обучение увлекательным и полезным! Проверь, сколько раз ты сможешь повторить диалог без остановок — и увидишь прогресс уже через неделю.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
