Hogwarts Legacy is an upcoming video game set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. One exciting aspect of the game is the ability to explore Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. **One area of the school that players will be able to visit is the witch dormitory**. The witch dormitory will be home to female students attending Hogwarts. This special residence hall will provide a place for female witches to sleep, study, and socialize with their fellow classmates.

The spell of macbeth
The Three Witches Spell from Shakespeare’s Macbeth is great to read or listen to for Halloween.
Some of the lines in this speech are offensive to our twenty-first century ears, and I hesitated to print it here, on a site with significant family traffic. But rather than censor the greatest writer in the English language, I think it’s better to present his words honestly, and I encourage my readers with children to use the opportunity to discuss the changes in attitudes that society has gone through in the four hundred years since Shakespeare lived.
Below is The Witches Spell from Act 4, Scene 1, of Macbeth. I’ve added annotations in parentheses below any lines where I thought it’d be helpful for the meaning. I’ve also posted a couple of interesting renditions from YouTube of this scene. One is a “straight” rendition. The other is by David Solomons. He did a very Halloween-like singing rendition of it. At the end, I posted the whole spell as a poem, so you can read it all the way through without distractions.
Enjoy! -Mama Lisa
The Tragedy of Macbeth
Act 4, Scene 1
SCENE I. A cavern. In the middle, a boiling cauldron.
Thunder. Enter the three Witches
First Witch
Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
(Brinded means tawny or streaked.)
Second Witch
Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined.
(A hedge-pig is a hedgehog.)
Third Witch
Harpier cries ‘Tis time, ’tis time.
(A harpier is believed to be a harpy which is a Greek and Latin mythological monster – having a woman’s head and body, but with a bird’s wings and claws.)
First Witch
Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.
ALL
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Second Witch
Fillet of a fenny snake,
(Fenny means coming from a bog)
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
(An adder is a venomous snake)
Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
(An owlet is a young owl)
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
ALL
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Third Witch
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf
(Witches’ mummy was a medicinal substance)
(Maw is the stomach, gulf is the throat)
Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark,
(Ravin’d means ravenous)
Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
(Gall is bile, slip of yew means a cutting from a yew tree)
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse,
Nose of Turk and Tartar’s lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,
(Drab = whore – these lines mean the baby
was delivered in a ditch by a whore).
Make the gruel thick and slab:
(Slab means viscid/semi-liquid)
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
(Chaudron is a coppery color)
For the ingredients of our cauldron.
ALL
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Second Witch
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Reviews for "Life Lessons Learned in the Hogwarts Legacy Witch Dormitory"
1. Sarah - 2 stars: I was really excited to play "Hogwarts Legacy Witch Dormitory" as a huge fan of the Harry Potter franchise. However, I found the game to be quite disappointing. The graphics were lackluster and the controls were clunky, making it difficult to navigate and perform even the simplest tasks. Additionally, the storyline felt underdeveloped and I quickly lost interest in the game. Overall, I was left feeling let down and I would not recommend this game to fellow Harry Potter fans.
2. Mark - 1 star: "Hogwarts Legacy Witch Dormitory" was a total waste of money. The gameplay was boring and repetitive, with little variation or excitement. The character customization options were limited and the dialogue was uninspiring. It lacked the magic and charm that I had hoped to experience in a Harry Potter-based game and I regret purchasing it.
3. Emily - 2 stars: As a longtime fan of the Harry Potter series, I was really hoping "Hogwarts Legacy Witch Dormitory" would live up to my expectations. Unfortunately, it didn't. The game felt shallow and rushed, without the depth and complexity that would have made it truly immersive. The lack of character development and poor dialogue choices left me feeling disconnected from the story and the game as a whole. I was left wanting more from this experience, and I wouldn't recommend it to others who are looking for an authentic Harry Potter gaming experience.
4. Tom - 3 stars: While "Hogwarts Legacy Witch Dormitory" had its moments, overall, it fell short for me. The graphics and sound design were decent, but the gameplay mechanics were clunky and unintuitive. The puzzles were too easy and the combat lacked excitement. Although the game attempted to capture the magic of the Harry Potter universe, it ultimately felt shallow and repetitive. I would recommend this game only to die-hard fans who are willing to overlook its flaws for the sake of nostalgia.
5. Jessica - 2 stars: I had high hopes for "Hogwarts Legacy Witch Dormitory", but unfortunately, it didn't deliver. The game lacked originality and felt like a generic Harry Potter-themed game, rather than a unique experience. The quests were often tedious and the open-world aspects felt empty and lifeless. Overall, it failed to capture the essence of the Harry Potter universe and left me feeling disappointed. I would recommend looking for other Harry Potter games that offer a more engaging and immersive experience.
