5. 《哈利·波特与凤凰社》
The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive. Cars that were usually gleaming stood dusty in their drives and lawns that were once emerald green lay parched and yellowing—for the use of hosepipes had been banned due to drought. Deprived of their usual car-washing and lawn-mowing pursuits, the inhabitants of Privet Drive had retreated into the shade of their cool houses, windows thrown wide in the hope of tempting in a nonexistent breeze. The only person left outdoors was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four.
夏季最严热的日子逐渐走入尾声，小文金镇女贞路上硕大的方房子都笼罩在夏末的慵懒和宁静之中。原本擦得甑亮的汽车上现在沾满了尘土，停在房子旁边的车位上，而翠绿的草坪也显出了片片黄斑－－因为夏季干旱缺水，政府已经禁止用水浇地和洗车了。在夏天除了洗车与浇草坪再无别事的女贞路住户在被剥夺了这两项权力之后，只有纷纷躲回他们阴凉的房子里，把窗户开得大大的，幻想着能有一丝风通过。这时候待在房子外面的只有躺在女贞路4号花丛里的一个十四五岁的男孩。
《哈利·波特与凤凰社》：哈利遭到了排挤，他感觉非常孤独，还经常做似乎预示着某种险恶事件即将发生的噩梦。更糟的是，邓布利多，那个哈利最希望能从他那里得到忠告的校长，也突然奇怪地与哈利保持着一定距离，这让哈里觉得愈发困惑和受伤。
