More specifically, this study focuses on the conversations of the first four movies of Harry Potter, which are Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The writer finds out what the differences in using the pre-sequences between the subjects in the movies and their two kinds of interlocutors when they are having conversations. In analyzing the data, the writer uses Levinson's theory (1983) of pre-sequences and its classification. For the findings, the writer finds that all types of pre-sequences, that is, preĀ­ announcement, pre-arrangement, pre-invitation, pre-request, and pre-closing, are used by the subjects and their interlocutors, the intimates and the distant. Furthermore, pre-request is used more frequently between the intimates. Meanwhile, pre-announcement is used more frequently between the distant. Besides, the writer also finds that the subjects have conversation more with their intimates than distant.} }
