Reminds me of HP: Bewitched
I found this nice montage of scenes from the first season of the 60's TV show "Bewitched," set to the Harry Potter theme.
This all seems just so very familiar, doesn't it? Not only that, the family on the show is named "Stevens," which is just a few letters difference from "Evans." Not that there could possibly be any meaning in that . . . or the name "Endora" which is like both Nymphadora and Dorea Potter, possibly Lily Evans mother-in-law.
You can also imagine Gladys Kravitz being one of the Dursleys' next-door-neighbors.
I watched this show every day of my life the entire time I was growing up, so I know it well. When we read about Muggle and Wizard relationships in the HP books, it's difficult not to be reminded that the story of Samantha and Darrin was so similar. I never saw the remake - I don't care much for Nicole Kidman, and she could never measure up to Elizabeth Montgomery, in my opinion.
