曾用于拍摄电影《哈利-波特》的房子上月在伦敦被拍卖，那是德斯礼姨妈在女贞路的家。哈利在这所房子楼梯下面的壁橱里吃到了偷带进来的生日蛋糕……

The house used for scenes from the Harry¹ Potter films was auctioned² in London last month. FPD Savills expects keen interest in No 12 Picket³ Post Close, in Bracknell, Berkshire, which has a guide price of ￡250,000.

The house featured as the Privet Drive home of the loathsome⁴ Dursleys, Harry's unmagical Muggle relatives. Harry spent most of his formative years there padlocked in the cupboard under the stairs, or behind bars in the smallest first-floor bedroom, living on hope and smuggled⁵ birthday cake.

The two-storey three-bedroomed detached house, built in 1993, was tracked down by a film location-spotter for its lack of interesting features.  The real house does have a cupboard under the stairs, but it has never held a prisoner - most of the interiors were shot on a film studio set. The property is described by the auctioneers as "in good order throughout and has an attractive 40ft south-facing garden".

参考译文

　　曾用于拍摄电影《哈里-波特》的房子上月伦敦被拍卖。负责这次拍卖的拍卖行在拍卖前表示，这所位于波克夏郡布勒克尼尔市的房子可以卖25万英镑。

　　在电影《哈里-波特》中，这所房子是让人讨厌的德斯礼姨妈在女贞路的家，他们是哈里的不会魔法的麻瓜亲戚。哈利在这所房子楼梯下面的壁橱里度过了成长的时光，在1楼的那个小房间里，他还吃到了偷带进来的生日蛋糕。

　　这幢两层高、带3个卧室的房子建于1993年，当初之所以被布景师看中其实是由于它本身没什么特别之处。房子里倒真的有一个壁橱，不过里面从来没关过任何人。在拍卖行的广告里，对这幢房子的描述是：“结构合理，并带一个朝南的40平方尺的漂亮花园。”
