We thought we would bring you a new lesson with a famous scene from this delightful movie in this scene

We see the kids learning one of their first spells as we explained in the other lesson

We made on Harry Potter a spell is a group of words used as a magical charm or incantation

In the Wizarding World, they use wands to cast spells that is to cause them to take effect

All right. Let's watch the first part of the scene where Professor Flitwick explains the spell

One of the Wizards most rudimentary skills is an imitation

The ability to make objects fly

You will have your feathers good

Now what?

Don't forget the nice wrist

Movement, we've been practicing the swish ad flick

everyone

Enunciate Wingardium Leviosa off you go then

One of the Wizards most rudimentary skills is an imitation or the ability to make objects

fly

Levitation is the action of rising and floating in the air without any physical support

This word is typically associated with supposed magical or super powers

so when Superman or a Dragonball Z character flies

We could also say they are levitating the verb to levitate can refer to causing something to levitate or levitating yourself

Example some people actually believe that if you meditate enough you can achieve the ability to levitate

one of the Wizards most rudimentary skills is an invitation now the adjective rudimentary it means the same as

basic, so if something such as a skill as considered rudimentary

It relates to the beginning or initial phase of learning. That is it is a basic skill not an advanced one

Example she only had a rudimentary formal education that you will have your feathers

Professor Flitwick will now try and teach the students how to levitate an object by magic for practice

They're going to try the spell on feathers

now well

Don't forget the nice wrist

Movement we've been practicing the wrist is the part of the body between the hand and the arm where you'd normally wear a watch

Don't forget the nice wrist

Movement, we've been practicing the swish

Everyone

In the Wizarding World to cast a spell with your wand also requires you to make a specific

movement of the wrist while holding the wand he describes this movement as the swish and flick if

Something swishes or you swish it?

It moves through the air making a soft sound this refers to the first part of the movement

Which is about making a long soft swishing movement with the wand

The second part is about flicking the wand if something flicks or you flick it it

moves and hit something or simply stops with a short sudden movement if

You flicked someone or something. It could be painful as we see when Monica and Rachel fight here

Did you just flick me? Okay, well you wouldn't let me finish and I was

Movement, we've been practicing by the way. Did you notice how Flitwick pronounces the word wrist here? Don't forget the nice wrist

Movement, how about the word rudimentary?

one of the Wizards most rudimentary skills

You probably noticed this sounds very

Different from the are sounds heard in the American accent and even different from the more common standard British accent

Let's hear it again. Don't forget the nice wrist

Movement, you just heard the distinctive rolling R

That is common to the Scottish accent interestingly enough

It sounds very similar to the rolling are found in Spanish Portuguese and Italian languages

Something you'd like to say there are several things. I would like to say

We never use

Transfiguration as a punishment surely Dumbledore told you that

Might have mentioned it, but you will do well to remember it. I

Thought if you find it now, I could can't only a parent or a guardian consign since I am neither it would be inappropriate

What do you think of all the different accents that can be heard in the Harry Potter movies do you find any particular character?

Who you think is harder to understand join the discussion in the comments below

the swish ad pick everyone

Good

Enunciate Wingardium, Leviosa

To enunciate it's a say or pronounce words fully and clearly for example

I really try to enunciate much more when I teach English than when I speak with American friends in

This case Professor Flitwick is referring to making a clear sound and correctly pronouncing the spell

Don't yet Wingardium Leviosa?

Off you go then off you go

Is a British English idiomatic expression with two slightly different?

applications in this case

it was used as to tell somebody that they can now start doing something such as a

Presentation or an activity in class as seen in the scene Flitwick is allowing his students to start practicing

However, this expression is more commonly used to let somebody know that they can now leave

Is there something you wish to tell me?

No, sir

Very well then off you go

Highly recommend reacquaint yourself with the chapter on antidotes

I'll tell you more about bazaars in our next class right off you go. Please forget your rat tail

Wingardium Leviosa

Stop stop stop

You're going to take someone's eye out

Besides you're saying it wrong. It's

Leviosa, not Leviosa, you do it then if you're so clever

Wingardium Leviosa

Oh well done. See here everyone. Miss Granger has done it. Splendid

Guardian Leviosa

Stop stop stop

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

Even though Hermione is probably jokingly exaggerating here when she says that Ron is going to take someone's eye out

she means that he's been too careless or

irresponsible with this movement because it seems to be so

Uncontrolled and aggressive that he will end up causing an accident and hurting somebody's eye

Example, I don't want you kids playing with fireworks. You could lose a finger or take somebody's eye out

To not miss a single one of our new lessons

You're going to take someone's on it besides you're saying it wrong

It's Navy Oh saw not Navy Oh song

Besides means the same as also or in addition

It is used to add new information like an argument to what has already been said

Beyond your reach

Sorry, no way you had matter you upside besides you don't even know how to fly

I'll be forever grateful for this

To both of you. I want to go with you one day perhaps

Sometime my life will be too unpredictable

and besides

He'll meant to be here in this case Hermione

First said that he was doing the wrong movement by being too aggressive with it. Then she added that he was also saying it wrong

You're going to take someone's Island besides you're saying it wrong

by the way

be careful not to confuse it with the word beside which is a

Preposition that is used to indicate being by the side of or next to something

Okay

Now you marry but never known your family

You see them

Standing beside you

Who sang wrong? It's never OSA not live you saw

You do it then if you're so clever to be clever is to have the ability to quickly understand

Elaborate or apply ideas more simply put to be clever is to be intelligent

Ron is saying to Hermione that if she thinks she is so smart telling him that he is doing it all wrong

She should try doing the spell herself

The one does it truely answer to me

Hi honey, I'm clever but not clever enough besides. We've got a

Hoax me we know

We'll show you a quicker way you do it then if you're so clever

As an informal idiomatic expression go on is used to encourage somebody to say or do something

Talk about tongues right go on

Phones, right Harry, you're gonna need your strength today. I'm not hungry

Come on now, you'll be late

trees leaving gone

Come on, we're saying wrong. It's never OSA not Liv you saw

Wingardium Leviosa

Although Wingardium Leviosa are made-up words

We can still analyze this humorous explanation that Hermione gave Ron from a phonetic point of view and learn a lot from it

She explained that when saying when Guardian Leviosa, you should not pronounce Leviosa with an open a sound at the end

But rather with a schwa sound

So instead of saying Leviosa, you should say

Musa

This is really useful to practice because the schwa sound is the most common sound in English

So in order to have clear correct pronunciation, it is important that you master it. So, let's practice it with Hermione

in Guardium Musa

Wingardium Leviosa

Oh

well

See here, everyone this great just done it

splendid splendid means excellent fantastic or very impressive example

We had a splendid holiday together. It can be used by itself. Just as Flitwick did to express great admiration for something or somebody

In the old days. I used to throw together the occasion or supper party

next door to

Our considers an honor sir

You'd be welcome to Granger

I'd be the lightest that blended
