Hagrid: Blimey, Harry's got himself a rogue Bludger! That's been tampered with, that has!
Ron: I'll stop it!
Hermione: No! Even with a proper wand, it's too risky. You could hit Harry.
Harry looped and swooped, spiralled, zig-zagged and rolled. Slightly dizzy, he nevertheless kept his eyes wide open. ... He could hear laughter from the crowd; he knew he must look very stupid, but the rogue Bludger was heavy and coul…

Lee: Another goal for Slytherin! They lead Gryffindor ninety to thirty!
Slytherin player: Yes!
Draco: All right there, Scarhead?
Oliver: Watch yourself, Harry!
Harry: Wood, look out!
The Slytherins’ superior brooms were clearly doing their jobs, and meanwhile the mad Bludger was doing all it could to knock Harry out of the air. Fred and George were now flying so close to him on either side that Harry could see nothi…

make somebody rue the day – заставить кого-то пожалеть о каком-то дне или поступке
📖 В отрывке:
*we’re going to make them rue the day they let that little bit of slime, Malfoy, buy his way onto their team.*
Мы заставим их пожалеть о том дне, когда они позволили этому слизняку Малфою купить место в команде.
Это не просто «пожалеть», а
🔥 сильно пожалеть, почти страдать из-за своего решения
He’ll make them rue the d…

‘Slytherin have better brooms than us,’ he began, ‘no point denying it. But we’ve got better people on our brooms. We’ve trained harder than they have, we’ve been flying in all weathers –’ (‘Too true,’ muttered George Weasley. ‘I haven’t been properly dry since August’) ‘– and we’re going to make them rue the day they let that little bit of slime, Malfoy, buy his way onto their team.’
Chest heaving with emotion, Wood…

to churn - взбалтывать, взбивать, перемешивать (жидкость)
бурлить, клокотать,
тревожно переворачиваться (о чувствах или желудке)
📖 В тексте:
“…with his insides churning…”
→ «у него всё внутри переворачивалось / скручивало от волнения»
💡 Это про сильные эмоции (страх, тревога)
Before the exam, my insides were churning.
— Перед экзаменом у меня всё внутри переворачивалось.
The potion churned in the cauldron.
Зелье …

Harry woke early on Saturday morning and lay for a while thinking about the coming Quidditch match. He was nervous, mainly at the thought of what Wood would say if Gryffindor lost, but also at the idea of facing a team mounted on the fastest racing brooms gold could buy. He had never wanted to beat Slytherin so badly.
After half an hour of lying there with his insides churning, he got up, dressed, and went down to br…

bits of someone – букв. части кого-то (кусочки человека 😅)
📖
“What d’you mean, a bit of whoever we’re changing into?”
Что ты имеешь в виду — часть того, в кого мы собираемся превратиться?
“I’m drinking nothing with Crabbe’s toenails in it ...”
Я не собираюсь пить ничего с ногтями Крэбба внутри.
Это пример того, какие именно “bits” нужны — физические части тела (волосы, ногти и т.п)
“because we add those bits las…

to chicken out - струсить, передумать из-за страха, отказаться в последний момент
Неформальное выражение.
В тексте:
“if you two are going to chicken out”
→ если вы двое собираетесь струсить
Гермиона злится, что они могут отказаться от плана.
Почему “chicken”?
В английском chicken (курица) ассоциируется с трусостью.
Отсюда:
Don’t be a chicken! — Не будь трусом!
Harry wanted to sneak out at night, but Ron chickened o…

This is the most complicated potion I’ve ever seen,’ said Hermione, as they scanned the recipe. ‘Lacewing flies, leeches, fluxweed and knotgrass,’ she murmured, running her finger down the list of ingredients. ‘Well, they’re easy enough, they’re in the student store-cupboard, we can help ourselves. Oooh, look, powdered horn of a Bicorn – don’t know where we’re going to get that ... Shredded skin of a Boomslang – that…

In the library, Hermione pulls a book titled "Most Potente Potions" off the shelf, then walks a few rows to where Harry and Ron are.
potent — мощный, сильнодействующий, очень эффективный.
Слово potent используют, когда что-то обладает сильным эффектом — физическим, химическим, магическим или даже эмоциональным:
“Most Potente Potions”
→ «Самые сильнодействующие зелья» / «Самые мощные зелья»
То есть это зелья с очень…

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
