He is temporarily allowing people to edit because we are the only ones using it right now. Later he will open it up to others and change the settings to “may comment”.
Robert advises:
“As one of the other posters implied, my students never heard the original soundtrack of the video. We had been working from Ann Matava’s script, so they knew the phrases. The first time through, I stopped often, and we discussed what was happening, what the person was afraid of, etc. The second time I didn’t stop but did my own narration of the action. The movie uses a different construction for “is afraid of” than the one I was using, so I didn’t want to confuse the students. If the two were identical, I would have done a third showing with the German soundtrack on. Even with no musical score and only the sound of my voice, students were focused on the film clip and listening. Since many of them already knew the film, and there is no “twist” at the end of the scene, I didn’t worry about not revealing something too soon.
“Also, later in the film there are a couple more scenes that could also be used:
1. Professor Lupin has Harry in his office and is trying to teach him the Patronus spell; using a boggart, he has Harry face his fear of dementors
2. Harry and Sirius Black are being attacked by dementors, but Harry and Hermione have used the time turner to travel back in time, and Harry uses the Patronus spell to drive away the dementors. This time Harry does not show fear of the dementors, so these three scenes could make a nice story arc about confronting and overcoming fears.
