关于买书、级长制度和伊顿公学

本书在第六章提过，麦格教授让小巫师去挑魔杖，而家长则跟着她去买其他入学用品。

“我们先去摩金夫人那儿，将孩子们长袍买好。然后让孩子们去挑魔杖，可能得花点儿时间，家长们正好跟我去买其余的东西。”

2.级长。

来自哈利波特维基：

A prefect at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was a student who had been given extra authority and responsibilities by the Head of House and Headmaster. One male and one female student were chosen from each house in their fifth year to act as prefects. They would continue to be prefects in their sixth and seventh years until they left school.

Thus， there were approximately six prefects per house and twenty-four prefects in the whole school at one time. Prefects could become Head Boy or Girl， and would still serve as prefect as well. Being a prefect didn't guarantee a student to become a Head Boy or Girl， in fact， the Head Boy or Girl did not have to have been a prefect at all.

由此可知，每个学院会在五年级时挑选一位男生和一位女生担任级长职务，一个学院可能同时存在6名级长（从五年级到七年级各两名），而不是每个年级都有两位级长。

七年级的级长毕业后，会有两名新的级长从五年级学生中诞生，所以可以被称为“接替”。

另外，学生会主席更容易从级长中诞生，也可以不是级长，如詹姆·波特。

3.伊顿公学。

原著第二部哈利·波特与密室第五章“吉德罗·洛哈特”提到，贾斯廷·芬列里原本是要去伊顿公学的，并非是我杜撰。

原文如下：

“那个叫什么洛哈特的，”他们开始往花盆里装火龙粪堆肥时，贾斯廷兴致勃勃地说，“真是个勇敢的人。你们看了他的书没有？我要是被一个狼人堵在电话亭里，早就吓死了，他却那么镇静——啧啧——真了不起。

“我本来是要上伊顿公学的，但后来上了这里，我别提多高兴了。当然，我妈妈有点失望，可是我让她读了洛哈特的书之后，我想她已经开始看到家里有个训练有素的巫师是多么有用……”
