Suddenly,I became a fan of Harry Potter in November 2022. Because I watched “Which house in Hogwarts are you sorted?”that is Kevin’s English Room on YouTube channel.
And I tried a question like a psychological test to sort house. The result was Slytherin...!🐍In fact,I hadn’t known the story well,so I decided to watch the movies studying British accent. Movies ordinarily take almost two hours,doesn’t it? I feel long time and get bored. So I don’t like watching movies. But Harry Potter is different from the others. Not being bored,I watched all series for a month! Harry Potter is fascinating and entertaining. By the way,my favorite characters are Hermyonie Granger,Drago Malfoy and Sirius Black.
I got an information. The thing is Harry Potter’s store is opened in Akasaka,Tokyo.The stage Harry Potter’s next story is played by Japanese famous actors and it runs a restaurant and a souvenir shop beside the theater. The name of the shop is “Mahoudokoro”. In Harry Potter ‘s world,there’re eight wizardry schools in all the world including Hogwarts in UK. And the name of Japanese wizardry school is Mahoudokoro. Mahoudokoro is the oldest school in the world and good at playing Quiddich.
When I existed the ticket gate in the station,I heard Harry Potter ‘s music and saw a large stairway and the Time-Turner. The Time-Turner is a key item,which was used by Hermyonie in Harry Potter and the prisoner of the Azkaban. Going up the stairway,I could see four big banner.
From the left,those are Gryffindor,Revenclaw,Hufflepuff and Slytherin.
And this is a restaurant. I thought a red wall and the structure was the very British. I didn’t go there,but it’s popular to need a reservation before visiting.
This is a souvenir shop. Hedwig....pretty! And there were many goods in the store.
This creature is the entrance of platform nine and three-quarters. If I were a wizard,I might get on the express train which is bound for Hogwarts.
I bought Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans,but I couldn’t eat only two. Because I ate a vomit flavor. It was so gross and bad. Since then,I have never eaten it.
Since I watched movies,I’m a fan of Harry Potter. So next,I’ll try to read the novel of Harry Potter ‘s next series “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child “. And I have not read the original novel. If I have a time,I will want to read. In fact,I thought to read the original novels in English,not watch movies. But I had known that the novels used unique many wizardry words and Hagrid’s accent was so difficult,so I gave up. If I can understand English better than now,I will read the original novels in English.

ハリーポッターは小説を英語で読むだけでなく、テーマにして日記を書くことも非常に難しい。
日本語の日記だけでも1時間かかったのに、英訳作業となると2時間以上もかかった。
途中で闇落ちして私がデスイーターにでもなるんじゃないかと思ったくらい、苦戦しました。
過去一大変なブログです。
