-
Intriguing, isn't it?
-
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 tell me what a Boggart looks
like?
-
No one knows.
-
When did she get here?
-
Boggarts are shapeshifters, they take the
shape of whatever particular person fears
-
the most.
-
That's what makes them so - so terrifying,
yes.
-
Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel
a Boggart.
-
Let's practice it now.
-
Without wands, please.
-
After me - Riddikulus!
-
Riddikulus.
-
Very good, a little louder and very clear,
listen - Riddikulus!
-
Riddikulus!
-
This class is ridiculous.
-
Very good, well so much for the easy part.
-
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.
-
Uh, Neville, will you join me, please?
-
Come on, don't be shy.
-
Come on, come on.
-
Hello.
-
Neville what frightens you most of all?
-
Professor Snape.
-
Yeah, he 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's 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.
-
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.
-
Form a line.
-
I want everyone to picture the thing they
fear the very most and turn it into something
-
funny.
-
Next, Ron!
-
Concentrate... face your fear, be brave.
-
Wand at the ready, Ron, wand at the ready.
-
Riddikulus.
-
Yes, very good, very good!
-
Marvelous, absolutely very, very enjoyable.
-
Parvati, next.
-
Show us what you see.
-
Riddikulus!
-
And next.
-
Step up, step up.
-
Riddikulus!
-
Alright, well, sorry about that.
-
That's enough for today if you'd all like
to collect your books at the back of the class.
-
That's the end of the lesson. Thank you. Sorry!
