曾被用来作为哈利·波特诞生地的一座14世纪的房屋，在出售一年后至今仍然无人问津。
The 14th Century house used as the birthplace of Harry Potter remains on the market over a year after it was put up for sale.
位于萨福克郡拉文纳姆的德维尔楼曾出现在《哈利波特与死亡圣器（上）》中，是这位年轻巫师的父母被伏地魔杀害的地方。
De Vere House in Lavenham, Suffolk, featured in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One, as the house where the young wizard's parents were killed by Lord Voldemort.
这座房子在去年夏天以近100万英镑的价格投放入市场。不过房产公司卡特·乔纳斯称，该房屋尚未找到“应得的买主”。
It was put on the market last summer for almost 1m GBP. Estate agent Carter Jonas said it was yet to find "the buyer it deserves".
该公司的合伙人卡罗琳·爱德华兹表示：“这样的特殊房屋总是必须找到合适的买家，除了作为住户之外，买家还必须准备好成为房屋的守护者。”
Caroline Edwards, a partner at the firm, said: "Special houses like this always have to find the right buyer -- indeed, a buyer who is prepared to be a custodian as much as a resident."
她称，这样一座历史悠久的房子对热衷于“木结构的纯粹主义者”很有吸引力，但鉴于它的重要性，并“不适合胆小的人”。
She said such a historic house appealed to the "timber-framed purist" but was "not for the faint-hearted", given the significance it carried.
德维尔楼的价格，已经从原先开价的995000英镑下降到了950000英镑。
De Vere House has a price tag of 950,000 pounds, which has been dropped from the original 995,000 pounds asking price.
这座房屋坐落于《哈利·波特》电影中的戈德里克山谷，窗内有一棵圣诞树，对面是一个虚构的墓地。它的的名字是以德维尔家族命名的，之前曾被称为奥森克津屋和牛津屋。
It formed part of Godric's Hollow in the Harry Potter film, and was seen with a Christmas tree in the window, opposite a fictional graveyard. It takes its name from the De Vere family and has previously been known as Oxenford House and Oxford House.
