Not that much of a far cry
Today's Metro has an article about a refugee from Sierra Leone who has a small part in the next Harry Potter movie. It says that it's a far cry from her previous life where she had to hide from marauding soldiers and where houses were burnt and ransacked and people were maimed and murdered.


That would be a part in The Deathly Hallows then, which is a book where, as I recall, people have to hide from marauding Dementors, where Hogwarts is burned and ransacked and where people are maimed and murdered.


Not that much of a far cry then. Apart from being fictional, obviously.
