Mind you. What does it mean? Hello guys! I was watching some Harry Potter movies and I noticed that the characters say many times "mind you". What does it mean and when is it used? Thanks

Alan, I saw it in Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets when Hermione says: "But there might be another way. Mind you, it would be difficult and not to mention we will be braking about fifty school rules! "

'Mind you" can mean several things, so it depends on the context.

The poster on that stackexchange thread gives 3 definitions. In my experience, it's *nearly always* used in the sense of #2 (that is, it means "on the other hand..."). I would say that it is nearly never used to mean "pay attention to ...".
