Harry Potter and the Philospers Stone shows an excellent example of a transfer from an ordinary world to the new world.  Harry Potter always thought he was just an ordinary boy, living with his evil Aunt, Uncle and Cousin, Dudley. His parents died when he was young, and so he had to move into his Aunt's home, and live in the closet under the stairs. At the beginning of the Philospers Stone, Harry lives in a gloomy, dull, ordinary world, with no hopes for the future, because of his relatives, who limit him to everything and anything. When Harry turns the age of twelve, a giant person, Hagrid comes to retrieve him to tell Harry that he's a magical wizard, the best that ever lived. Hagrid tells Harry that his parents were wizards and were really killed by the darkest wizard in the magic world, Voldemort. When Voldemort came to kill Harry and his family, he was the only one to survive Voldemort, making him the most powerful wizard. Hagrid tells Harry he must travel into the magic world to go to Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. Hagrid and Harry use the majical portal in a British bar to travel into the majic world to get to Hogwarts.
I chose this video because in order to get to Hogwats, Harry must start in his ordinary world, and run through a portal to get into the magical world, to travwel to Hogwarts.
