    I will put the exercise into practice, I liked it very much and when it is solved with that disposition it is really satisfactory.

      It's a nice pair of chords with clean voice leading. Thanks for watching!

    Excellent, didn't realize it worked for both a minor or major 3rd interval apart from the tonic chord (sharing a common tone regardless), thanks!

      Isn’t that cool? Mediant progressions/sequences can be so smooth because of those common tones.

    I was taught that the mediant movement of two major chords signifies anything hero related, and you hear it all over the place with John Williams, but I think it comes from Wagner.
    My take on this is that Harry isn't quite there yet. He's shown the broom which is a means for him to become a hero thus the hero "motif" is disguised with the 7th added to the C chord.
    Cheers! (good series)

      That's good insight. It's like the Bb kind softens the heroic effect of the chords.
