There are several threads I want to comment upon, but here's a couple of 
short answers in the meantime (following my fifth-and-a-half viewing...)

Almost, but to be precise, "And hear across classrooms".

It's *really* mumbled, but I understood it as "Hold it there, sonny".

Alora:

"Minister, after you" (rather obvious, really). :-)

And elsewhere (sorry, can't find the post right now to quote), someone 
asked about incantations. There are two new incantations created for this 
movie not in the book:

"Ascendo" (Harry coming out of the water after the Second Task) - 
translation unneeded as it's where English "ascend" comes from.

" Periculum" (sending up red sparks in the maze over Fleur), which means 
"danger" (source of English "peril"). With my Latin hat on, I'm surprised 
that Kloves (perhaps with JKR's input) uses a noun rather than the usual 
source of their  inctantations, the first person singular form of verb.
