But I'm not sure how often we can watch, for film after film, that opening scene in Uncle Vernon's suburban house, then the scenes outside in the street, then the railway station and then the dangerous but essentially cosy Hogwarts, where Harry gets to fly around on broomsticks or fantasy animals.

我不确定我们还能看多久这种千篇一律的开场——第一幕总是在弗农姨父郊外的家，然后是街道，铁路，看似危险其实舒适的霍格沃茨，哈利将会在那儿骑着扫帚或是神奇生物飞来飞去。
