A-Z of all things magical!

votes

I'm currently trying to read the book 'Harry Potter y el prisionero de Azkaban' which was my inspiration for starting this thread. I did a search and I couldn't find a thread like this, so Spanish/English learners alike here's the challenge . grin

Lets make an A-Z of Spanish words,with their English translation, relating to all things magical surprised and see how long we can keep it going.

For those who've never played this game before, it's pretty straight-forward smile - there are just the following rules:

Rules

  • your word must follow the alphabetical order
  • Always click newest before posting to see the last letter a word has been posted for
  • Make sure you put the English translation of your word
  • Make your posts as colourful and interesting as you can

The most important rule

  • Have fun!!! :-D

I'll start with the letter A

la adivinación

Fortune-telling; divination alt text

alt textT ~ la Torre ~ Rook or Tower

La bruja encarcelaba la niña en un gran torre en el medio del bosque, sin puerta, ni escaleras, sólo una ventana de donde la pobrecita podía mirar las aves volando con libertad. Le dio a la niña el apodo "Rapunzel".

The witch imprisoned the little girl in a great tower in the middle of the forest, without any door, nor stairs, only a window from where the poor little girl could watch the birds flying freely. She gave the girl the name "Rapunzel".


Por el resplandor de la luna, los estudiantes novatos y excitables tuvieron su primer vistazo de las torres del Castillo de Hogwarts, incapaz de siquiera comenzar a imaginar las aventuras curiosas que les esperan.
