Putu Wansa Sundari watched videos of "Learn English with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and gained several benefits: 1) She was able to understand fast-speaking native English without subtitles and improve her British vocabulary and comprehension. 2) She learned important phrases like "Got the wrong man" and titles like "Miss" and "Mrs." She also learned about linking sounds, meanings of words like "honest" and "meddle," and phrases such as "would do well," "spare a life," and "turns should do it." 3) Examples of colloquial language like "the bloody hell" helped her understand how informal expressions can

1. What I got after watching “Learn English with the Harry Poter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” videos
is help to understand fast-speaking natives without getting lost, missing the jokes, and without
subtitles. And also improve my british vocabulary and comprehension while having fun.

2. Things that I think are important in the video:


1) Got The Wrong Man. this is a common phrase used in these situations, when the police
or authority has caught wrong person who was non responsible for crime that was
committed.
2) Miss. is a title used before the family name of a single woman. While Misses [Mrs.] is used
to address a married woman
3) Believe us. Word in English that end in the letter E normally have it as a silent E. In the
case of the verb believe. This is how you should pronounce it: believe; buh-leev. Another
common occurrence in spoken English is the linking of sounds in separate words. This
happens very often to these combinations of verb + personal pronouns.
4) Honest. Someone who is honest always tells the truth or does not cheat or steal. So if
something, such as an opinion or message is said to be honest. That means it does not try
to hide or the fact about something.
5) Meaningless. It has no real value, purpose, or significance.
6) To meddle. Is to interface; to try to change or have an influence on things that are not
your responsibility. Especially without being welcome to do so.
7) Topmost cell. In this context, a cell is a small empty room where prisoners are kept. The
“topmost something” is something that is at the highest position somewhere. So, The
topmost cell of the Dark Tower is the highest cell located in the Dark Tower.
8) Would do well. If you say that somebody would do well to do something. You mean that
it would be good for them, and that you recommend them to do it.
9) Ghastly. Is adjective meaning unpleasant. In a way that causes great horror or fear. This
is not a very common word.
10) Spare. Generally describes something that is extra; additional. It may have different
meanings as a noun, a verb, or an adjective. In the collocation used by Dumbledore, to
spare a life. It means to save a life. Especially of someone who has been sentenced to
death.
11) Turns should do it. A turn, as a noun, refers to a move in a circular direction around an
axis or point. If you say to someone that something should (or will) do it. You are
informally telling them that thing will be enough.
12) Wise. In this case, means prudent [carefully thought].
13) The bloody hell. This is an interesting example of two informal collocations being used in
the same sentence. However, he used the informal expressions “the hell” and “bloody”
together to add a sense of shock and surprise to his question. In British English, the
adjective bloody (when used as slang like done here). Adds intensity and emotion to a
sentence, emphasizing what you are saying in a slightly rude way.
14) Hagrid’s. here, harry means “going to Hagrid’s house”. When you see somebody refer to
place as a person’s name + ‘s. it means the person’s home.
