Lyrics & Translation

[English]

One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills

is levitation.

Or, "the ability to make objects fly."

Uh, do you all have your feathers?

Good.

Now, uh,

don't forget the nice wrist movement

we've been practising.

Hmm?

The swish and flick.

Everyone.

[All] Swish and flick.

[Flitwick] Good.

Oh, and enunciate.

Wingardium Leviosa.

Off you go, then.

[All] Wingardium Leviosa.

Wingardium Leviosa.

Wingardium Leviosa.

Wingardium Leviosa.

Look, stop, stop, stop.

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

Besides, you're saying it wrong.

It's Levi-o-sa,

not Levio-sa.

You do it, then,

if you're so clever.

Go on, go on.

Wingardium Leviosa.

Oh, well done!

See here, everyone.

Miss Granger's done it.

Splendid.

Wingard Leviosa.

Well done, dear.

[Seamus] Wingard—

I think we're going to need

another feather over here, Professor.

Made it.

Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face

if we were late?

That was bloody brilliant!

Oh, thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley.

Perhaps it would be more useful

if I were to Transfigure Mr Potter

and yourself into a pocket watch?

That way, one of you might be on time.

We got lost.

Then perhaps a map?

I trust you don't need one

to find your seats.

There will be no foolish wand-waving

or silly incantations in this class.

As such,

I don't expect many of you to appreciate

the subtle science and exact art that

is potion-making.

However, for those select few

who possess

the predisposition

I can teach you

how to bewitch the mind

and ensnare the senses.

I can tell you how to bottle fame,

brew glory,

and even put a stopper in death.

Then again,

maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts

in possession of abilities so formidable

that you feel confident enough

to not pay attention.

Up!

Wow.

Up.

Up.

Up!

[All] Up.

Up.

Up.

Up.

Up.

Up!

Shut up, Harry.

Today, we're going to repot Mandrakes.

Who here can tell me the properties

of the Mandrake root?

Yes, Miss Granger.

Mandrake, or Mandragora,

is used to return those who've been Petrified

to their original state.

It's also quite dangerous.

The Mandrake's cry is fatal to anyone who hears it.

Excellent, 10 points to Gryffindor.

Now, as our Mandrakes are

still only seedlings,

their cries won't kill you yet.

But they could knock you

out for several hours,

which is why I've given

each of you a pair of

earmuffs for auditory protection.

So, could you please put

them on right away?

Quickly.

Flaps tight down.

And watch me closely.

You grasp your Mandrake firmly.

You pull it sharply

up out of the pot.

[Mandrake cries]

Got it?

And now you dunk it

down into the other pot

and pour a little

sprinkling of soil to keep him warm.

Ugh.

Longbottom's been neglecting his earmuffs.

No, ma'am,

he's just fainted.

Yes, well,

just leave him there.

Right, on we go.

Plenty of pots to go around.

Grasp your Mandrake.

And pull it up!

[Mandrakes crying]

Today,

we will be transforming animals

into water goblets.

Like so.

One, two, three.

Vera Verto.

Now it's your turn.

Well, who would like to go first?

Ah, Mr Weasley.

One, two, three.

Vera Verto.

Vera Verto!

That wand needs replacing, Mr Weasley.

I got a real treat for you today.

A great lesson.

So, follow me.

Da-da-dada!

Isn't he beautiful?

Say hello to Buckbeak.

Hagrid.

Exactly what is that?

That, Ron, is a Hippogriff.

First thing you wanna know about Hippogriffs

is that they're very proud creatures,

very easily offended.

You do not want to insult a Hippogriff.

It may just be the last thing you ever do.

Now, who'd like to come and say, "Hello?"

Well done, Harry.

Well done.

Come on, now.

Now,

you have to let him make the first move.

It's only polite.

So, step up,

give him a nice bow,

then you wait and see

if he bows back.

And if he does,

you can go and touch him.

If not...

Well, we'll get to that later.

Right.

Now,

just make your bow.

Nice and low.

Back off, Harry.

Back off.

Keep still.

Keep still.

Oh.

Well done, Harry.

Well done.

Here, you big brute, you.

Right.

I think you can go and pat him now.

Go on.

Don't be shy.

Ow.

Nice and slow now.

Nice and slow.

Slow.

Not so fast, Harry.

Slow down, Harry.

That's it.

Nice and slow.

Now let him come to you.

That's it.

Slow down.

Slowly, slowly.

That's it.

Yes!

Well done!

Oh, well done, Harry!

Well done!

I think he may let you ride him now.

What?

Come on.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Put you over here.

Hagrid!

Just behind the wing joint.

Don't pull out any of his feathers,

'cause he won't thank you for that.

[Harry] Whoa!

This term, we shall be focusing on tessomancy,

which is the art of reading tea leaves.

So, please take the cup

of the person sitting opposite you.

Do you see?

The truth lies buried

like a sentence deep within a

book waiting to be read.

But first,

you must broaden your minds.

First,

you must look beyond.

What a load of rubbish.

Where did you come from?

Me?

Been here all this time.

You, boy?

Is your grandmother quite well?

Uh.

Uh, I think so.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Give me the cup.

Oh.

Mmm.

Pity.

Broaden your minds.

Mmm.

Oh! Oh!

Your aura is pulsing, dear.

Are you in the beyond?

I think you are.

Sure.

Look at the cup.

Tell me what you see?

Oh, yeah, um...

Well...

Harry's got sort of a

wonky cross.

That's trials and suffering.

Mmh.

And, uh...

That there could be the sun

and that's happiness.

So, uh...

you're gonna suffer,

but you're gonna be

happy about it.

Give me the cup.

Oh, my dear boy.

My dear...

You have...

The Grim.

The grin?

What's the grin?

Not the grin, you idiot.

The Grim.

Taking form of a giant spectral dog.

It's among the darkest omens

in our world.

It's an omen...

Of "death."

It is my job to arm you against the

foulest creatures known to wizardkind.

You may find yourselves facing

your worst fears in this room.

Know only that no harm

can befall you whilst I am here.

I must ask you not to scream.

It might provoke them!

Cornish pixies?

Freshly caught Cornish pixies.

Laugh if you will, Mr Finnigan,

but pixies can be devilishly tricky little blighters.

Let's see what you make of them now!

Come on now. Round them up!

Ah. Ahh!

Round them up, they're only pixies!

Please!

Ow!

You just stay there now, my lover!

Get me down!

Ah!

Get off me!

Stop! Hold still!

Peskipiksi Pesternomi!

Yee-haw!

[Pixie] Fun for everyone!

[Pixie] Higher and higher!

[Pixie] It's mine!

I'll ask you three to just

nip the rest of them

back into their cage.

What do we do now?

Immobulus!

Why is it always me?

Would anyone like to venture a guess

as to what is inside?

That's a Boggart, that is.

Very good, Mr Thomas.

Now, can anybody tells me what a Boggart

looks like?

[Hermione] No one knows.

When'd she get here?

Boggarts are shape-shifters.

They take the shape of whatever

a particular person fears the most.

That's what makes them so—

So terrifying.

Yes, yes, yes.

Luckily, a very simple charm exists

to repel a Boggart.

Let's practice it now.

Ah, without wands, please.

After me...

Riddikulus.

Riddikulus.

Very good.

A little louder.

Very clear, listen.

Riddikulus.

Riddikulus.

This class is ridiculous.

Very good.

Well, so much for the easy part.

You see, the incantation alone is not enough.

What really finishes a Boggart is

laughter.

You need to force it to assume a shape

you find truly amusing.

Let me explain.

Ah, Neville, would you join me, please?

Come on, don't be shy.

Come on.

Come on.

Hello.

Neville, what frightens you most of all?

[Mumbling]

Sorry.

Professor Snape.

Professor Snape, yes.

Frightens all.

And I believe you live with your grandmother.

Yes, but I don't want that Boggart

to turn into her, either.

No.

It won't.

I want you to picture her clothes,

only her clothes,

very clearly in your mind.

She carries a red handbag.

We don't need to hear.

As long as you see it,

we'll see it.

Now, when I open that wardrobe,

here's what I want you to do.

Excuse me.

[Whispering] Imagine Professor Snape

in your grandmother's clothes.

Can you do that?

Yes.

Wand at the ready.

One,

two,

three.

Think, Neville. Think.

Riddikulus!

Wonderful, Neville. Wonderful.

Incredible.

Okay.

To the back, Neville.

Everyone form a line.

Turn to page 394.

Excuse me, sir.

Where's Professor Lupin?

That's not really your concern, is it, Potter?

Suffice it to say that your professor finds himself

incapable of teaching at the present time.

Turn to page 394.

Werewolves?

But sir, we've just begun learning

about Red Caps and Hinkypunks.

We're not meant to start

nocturnal beasts for weeks.

Quiet.

When did she come in?

Did you see her come in?

Now,

which one of you can tell

me the difference between

an Animagus and a werewolf?

No one?

How disappointing.

Please, sir.

An Animagus is a wizard who

elects to turn into an animal.

A werewolf has no choice.

With each full moon, when he transforms,

he no longer remembers who he is.

He'd kill his best friend if he crossed his path.

Furthermore, the werewolf only

responds to the call of its own kind.

That is the second time you have

spoken out of turn, Miss Granger.

Are you incapable of restraining yourself,

or do you take pride in being

an insufferable know-it-all?

He's got a point, you know.

Now, are you sure about this, Harry?

You know this is very advanced magic,

well beyond the ordinary wizarding level.

I'm sure.

Well, everything's prepared.

Now, the spell I'm going to try to teach you is called

the Patronus Charm.

Did you ever hear of it?

No?

Well, Patronus is a kind of positive force,

and for the wizard who can conjure one,

it works something like a shield

with a Dementor feeding on it,

rather than him.

But in order for it to work,

you need to think of a memory.

Not just any memory,

a very happy memory,

a very powerful memory.

Can you do this?

Yes, very well.

Close your eyes.

Concentrate.

Explore your past.

Do you have a memory?

Allow it to fill you up.

Lose yourself within it.

Then speak the incantation,

"Expecto Patronum."

Expecto Patronum.

Very good.

Shall we?

Wand at the ready.

Expecto Patronum!

Expecto...

Expecto...

Expect...

[Screaming]

When it comes to the Dark Arts,

I believe in a practical approach.

But first, which of you can tell me

how many Unforgivable Curses there are?

Three, sir.

And they are so named?

Because they are unforgivable.

The use of any one of them will—

Will earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban.

Correct.

Now, the Ministry says you're too young

to see what these Curses do.

I say different!

So, which Curse shall we see first?

Weasley!

Yes?

Give us a Curse.

The Imperius Curse?

Oh, yeah.

Gave the Ministry quite a bit of

grief a few years ago.

Perhaps this will show you why.

Hello.

Ugly, little beauty.

Engorgio.

Imperio!

[Moody] If she bites, she's lethal!

What are you laughing at?

Get off!

Talented, isn't she?

What should I have her do next?

Jump out the window?

Drown herself?

Scores of witches and wizards

have claimed that they only did

You Know Who's bidding

under the influence of the Imperius Curse.

But here's the rub...

How do we sort out the liars?

Another, another.

The Cruciatus Curse.

Correct! Correct!

Come, come.

Particularly nasty.

The torture curse.

Crucio!

Stop it!

Can't you see it's bothering him?

Stop it!

Um...

Perhaps you could give us

the last Unforgivable Curse, Miss Granger.

No?

Avada Kedavra!

The Killing Curse.

Only one person is known to have survived it.

And he's sitting in this room.

Your previous instruction in this subject

has been disturbingly uneven.

But you'll be pleased to know,

from now on, you will be

following a carefully structured,

Ministry-approved course of defensive magic.

Yes?

There's nothing in here about using defensive spells?

"Using" spells?

Well, I can't imagine why you would

need to use spells in my classroom.

We're not gonna use magic?

You will be learning about defensive spells

in a secure, risk-free way.

Well, what use is that?

If we're gonna be attacked,

it won't be risk-free.

Students will raise their hands

when they speak in my class.

It is the view of the Ministry

that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient

to get you through your examinations.

Which, after all, is what school is all about.

And how is theory supposed to prepare us

for what's out there?

There is nothing out there, dear.

Who do you imagine wants

to attack children like yourself?

Oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort?

[Whispers] Oh my God, he just said it...

Now, let me make this quite plain.

You have been told

that a certain Dark wizard

is at large once again.

This is a lie.

It's not a lie!

I saw him, I fought him!

Detention, Mr Potter!

So, according to you, Cedric Diggory

dropped dead of his own accord?

Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident.

It was murder!

Voldemort killed him, you must know that!

Enough!

Enough.

See me later, Mr Potter.

My office.

It appears that there is a connection

between the Dark Lord's mind and your own.

Whether he is as yet

aware of this connection is,

for the moment, unclear.

Pray he remains ignorant.

You mean, if he knows about it,

then he'll be able to read my mind?

Read it. Control it.

Unhinge it.

In the past,

it was often the Dark Lord's pleasure

to invade the minds of his victims,

creating visions designed to

torture them into madness.

Only after extracting the last

exquisite ounce of agony,

only when he had them literally

begging for death would he finally

kill them.

Used properly, the power of Occlumency

will help shield you from access or influence.

In these lessons,

I will attempt to penetrate your mind.

You will attempt to resist.

Prepare yourself.

Legilimens!

Concentrate, Potter.

Focus.

What you see before you,

ladies and gentlemen,

is a curious little potion

known as Felix Felicis.

But it is more commonly referred to as—

Liquid Luck.

Yes, Miss Granger.

Liquid Luck.

Desperately tricky to make,

disastrous should you get it wrong.

One sip and you will find

that all of your endeavours succeed.

At least until the effects wear off.

So,

this is what I offer each of you today.

One tiny vial of Liquid Luck

to the student who,

in the hour that remains,

manages to brew an acceptable

Draught of Living Death.

The recipes for which can be found

on page 10 of your books.

I should point out, however,

only once did a student manage

to brew a potion of sufficient

quality to claim this prize.

Nevertheless, good luck to you all.

Let the brewing commence!

How did you do that?

Crush it, don't cut it.

No, the instructions specifically say to cut.

No, really.

Merlin's beard.

It is perfect!

So perfect,

I dare say one drop would kill us all.

Key Grammar Structures

• One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation.

  ➔ Possessive 's' and superlative adjective ('most rudimentary')

  ➔ Demonstrates possession (wizard's skills) and uses a superlative adjective to indicate the highest degree of a quality ('most rudimentary').

• You're going to take someone's eye out.

  ➔ Future with 'going to'.

  ➔ Expresses a prediction or intention about a future event. "You're going to" indicates what will happen.

• Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to Transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch?

  ➔ Second conditional (unreal/hypothetical situation) using 'were to' to add formality.

  ➔ Shows a hypothetical situation and its consequence. 'Were to' adds a more formal and less likely tone to the condition.

• That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger.

  ➔ Present perfect tense ('have spoken') with 'that is the second time...' structure.

  ➔ Indicates an action that has happened at least twice up to the present moment.

• Did you ever hear of it?

  ➔ Past simple tense in a question form with 'ever' used for emphasis.

  ➔ 'Ever' emphasizes that the question is about any time in the past, not just a specific moment.

• Only when he had them literally begging for death would he finally kill them.

  ➔ Inversion after an adverbial clause of time introduced by 'only when'.

  ➔ Emphasizes the condition before the main action. The normal word order (he would finally kill them) is inverted (would he finally kill them) after 'only when'.
