"That day the sun was in its usual place, up above and in the middle of the sky, but Mr. Potter did not note that, so accustomed he was to this, the sun in its usual place, up above and in the middle of the sky."
Reading this quote in the beginning of the novel, it did not make much sense at all to me but as i read on I made more sense of it. This quote sums up the novel in a nutshell all in one sentence. It is referring to not the sun but to Mr. Potter. Each and every day he does the same thing without even realizing how repetitive his lifestyle is. The author uses a metaphor to show this by using the sun and how it, like Mr. Potter, rises and falls the same way each and every day and this quote is one of the most if not the most important quote in the novel in my eyes.
