English with Harry Potter

2022-08-31 14:00:00 -Is quidditch field wrong?
- No.
-Then why pitch?

A pitch or a sports ground is an outdoor playing area for various sports. The term pitch is most commonly used in British English, while the comparable term in American and Canadian English is playing field or sports field. Open / Comment

2022-08-29 14:52:26 ‘Wow,’ Ron sighed, as the broomstick rolled on to Harry’s bedspread.
Even Harry, who knew nothing about the different brooms, thought it looked wonderful. Sleek and shiny, with a mahogany handle, it had a long tail of neat, straight twigs and Nimbus Two Thousand written in gold near the top. Open / Comment

2022-08-27 09:00:00 Before Ron could answer, Professor Flitwick appeared at Malfoy’s elbow.
‘Not arguing, I hope, boys?’ he squeaked.
‘Potter’s been sent a broomstick, Professor,’ said Malfoy quickly.
‘Yes, yes, that’s right,’ said Professor Flitwick, beaming at Harry.
‘Professor McGonagall told me all about the special circumstances, Potter. And what model is it?’
‘A Nimbus Two Thousand, sir,’ said Harry, fighting not to laugh at the look of horror on Malfoy’s face. ‘And it’s really thanks to Malfoy here that I’ve got it,’ he added.
Harry and Ron headed upstairs, smothering their laughter at Malfoy’s obvious rage and confusion. Open / Comment

2022-08-26 09:00:01 They left the Hall quickly, wanting to unwrap the broomstick in private before their first lesson, but halfway across the Entrance Hall they found the way upstairs barred by Crabbe and Goyle.
Malfoy seized the package from Harry and felt it.
‘That’s a broomstick,’ he said, throwing it back to Harry with a mixture of jealousy and spite on his face. ‘You’ll be for it this time, Potter, first-years aren’t allowed them.’
Ron couldn’t resist it.
‘It’s not any old broomstick,’ he said, ‘it’s a Nimbus Two Thousand. What did you say you’ve got at home, Malfoy, a Comet Two Sixty?’ Ron grinned at Harry. ‘Comets look flashy, but they’re not in the same league as the Nimbus.’
‘What would you know about it, Weasley you couldn’t afford half the handle,’ Malfoy snapped back. ‘I suppose you and your brothers have to save up, twig by twig.’ Open / Comment

2022-08-25 09:00:00 Hermione: Bit early for mail, isn't it?
Harry: But I-I never get mail.
Ron: Let's open it.
Harry: It's a broomstick!
Ron: That's not just any broomstick, Harry. It's a Nimbus 2000!
Harry: But who...? Open / Comment

2022-08-24 09:00:00 Malfoy couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that Harry and Ron were still at Hogwarts next day, looking tired but perfectly cheerful. Indeed, by next morning Harry and Ron thought that meeting the three-headed dog had been an excellent adventure and they were quite keen to have another one. In the meantime, Harry filled Ron in about the package that seemed to have been moved from Gringotts to Hogwarts, and they spent a lot of time wondering what could possibly need such heavy protection.
‘It’s either really valuable or really dangerous,’ said Ron.
‘Or both,’ said Harry.
But as all they knew for sure about the mysterious object was that it was about two inches long, they didn’t have much chance of guessing what it was without further clues. Open / Comment
