In this activity, students act out a short Harry Potter themed dialogue using the
phrases from the language box. The task is based on a festive Christmas scene at
Hogwarts, where characters exchange greetings, share surprises, and talk about
magical holiday traditions. This creates a fun and engaging atmosphere for
speaking practice.
Learners first review the useful expressions from the language box, then reread
the original Harry Potter text, and finally perform a similar dialogue in pairs.
They can follow the structure of the model conversation or expand it with their
own ideas, emotions, and magical elements. This guided format helps even shy
students speak more confidently.
The activity works well for A2–B1 levels and is perfect for online lessons, pair
work, or group classes. It helps students practise functional language, improve
pronunciation, and use vocabulary connected to Christmas, friendship, and the
Harry Potter universe. A dynamic, creative, and festive speaking task that keeps
students engaged from start to finish.
