I should not have said that.. I shouldn't have said that.. sorry Laura, that was your cue...
Hello and thank you to Greg for that wonderful introduction. Today we are talking about a tiny
tiny book series and a very humble um not very well known movie series called
Harry Potter. We are going to look at all four of the Hogwarts houses and learn some adjectives
to describe them so by the end of this lesson you will have a variety of adjectives to choose from.
So I think we should hurry up and get on with it or people might think that we're
up to something, let the adjectives begin! Let's start with Ravenclaw! Of course they
are intelligent and logical, very analytical, but sometimes impractical. They are curious
and creative, inquisitive and also very witty. They are also wise and observant but sometimes
cold, sometimes oblivious, sometimes quite calculating, strict and judgmental. But they are
definitely original, intuitive and of course fond of intellectual discussion and fond of learning.
Next we have the ambitious and driven Slytherin. They are determined, prepared but subtle.
Realistic and adaptable they are resourceful, cunning, somewhat haughty and arrogant.
But loyal as well as shrewd, sneaky and cruel. They are also extremely charming and self-reliant.
They are bold and assertive and ruthless. Next we have the kind Hufflepuff! They are generous,
true, trusting they are dedicated and loyal but some would describe them as outsiders and somewhat
selective with their kindness. But they are also tenacious, hard-working, determined,
genuine and well-rounded. They are fair and just open-minded, good-hearted, accepting, giving,
compassionate, emotional, passionate, practical, dependable and patient. And
finally we have Gryffindor! Of course, courageous, brave and daring. But also stubborn,
somewhat instinctive and short-tempered. They can be blunt, but also idealistic, practical, playful,
they are also opportunistic and chivalrous and strong. But also sometimes hot-headed
and reckless. But at the end of the day they are charismatic. That's about all we have time
for today! If you enjoyed this video please give it a like and if you would like to follow me on
