Shakespeare- Macbeth

Hello. My name is Riho Mizuno. I would like to post about Shakespeare, especially him tragedies. There are many famous tragedies, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, etc. I like Hamlet and Macbeth very much.
This time, I would like to introduce about Macbeth. Macbeth was written in about 1605 by Shakespeare. Macbeth is a main character's name and he is a Scot. He killed then king and many people from the prophecy of the three witches. He became a king for a while, but he was killed by a man who has a kinship with then king.
By the way, do you know the witches lines of Macbeth are used in the movie, "Harry Potter 3" ? I realized the moment I heard that song. Please watch this video clip. Thank you.
