Mnemonic


[h-] Harry Potter is [2] inside the [-e] electricity plant where he is trying to 闔 shut the 門 saloon doors at the entrance to one of the generator rooms. Unfortunately, they won't 闔 shut. So he gets some 土 soil and jams it in between the 門 saloon doors with his 厶 elbow, then uses a magic spell on a 皿 plate to make it sticky enough to glue the 門 saloon doors shut.
