I’ve just read the first third of the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). It’s a book that leaves long-lasting impression and helps me to study English (as previous six books have done pretty well too). But all the same, it’s the last book in this whole story and I can’t wait to read it to the very end.
I wrote down some words and phrases which I’ve found useful.
Here they are:
Cop hold! – Постой! Подожди! Остановись!
decoy – подсадная утка, ложная цель;
proper pride – чувство собственного достоинства;
skirting board (брит.) – плинтус;
(the) essentials – предметы первой необходимости;
the other way round – совсем наоборот, как раз наоборот.
