②关系副词在从句中担任成分--状语，在从句中起副词和介词短语的作用
③关系副词起连接作用，把两个句子连接成为一个带有定语从句的主从复合句
关系副词有三种：
①where：在从句中作地点状语，指代地点
②when：在从句中作时间状语，指代时间
③why：在从句中作原因状语，指代原因

2. 关系副词和关系代词在定语从句中的区别。

在例②用that/which/省略（关系代词）,因为它在从句中作visited的宾语（visit是个及物动词）
例：③I’ll never forget the day when I joined the army.
④I’ll never forget the day that/which/省略we spent together.
在例③中when在从句中作状语，等于 I joined the army on the day.

假定《哈里波特》的续集《哈里波特与消失的密室(secret cellar)》即将上映。现由你写此续集的简介，并鼓励大家去看。
续集内容如下：
马上就要开学。但就在返校前一天夜里，哈里房间里出现了一个叫多比(Dorby)的小精灵（spirit）。多比说有一件可怕的事即将发生，会危及哈里的生命，因此极力阻止哈里返校。但第二天好友罗恩（Ron）驾驶会飞的汽车把哈里接回霍格沃茨学院(Horgwardz College)。他们到校的前后几日，学校接连发生学生被变为石像（statue）的可怕事件。在现场的墙上都有“密市已被打开”的字迹。哈里和罗恩千方百计找到密室，最终消灭了作恶多端的魔鬼（monster）。
Harry Potter and the Disappeared Secret Cellar
Harry Potter and the Disappeared Secret Cellar is a follow-up to Harry Potter and the Magic Stone, which starts with the beginning of a new term when all the students should return to school. Just on the very night after which Harry is going back to Horgwardz College, a little spirit called Dorby appears in his bedroom, flying around in the air. Dorby makes every effort to prevent Harry from returning to school, warning him that an extremely terrible disaster will happen to him, which will put his life in danger. But just on the next day, Ron, Harry’s best friend drives his magic car which can fly to Harry’s home and picks Harry up to the Horgwardz College. During the few days around their arrival at the college, a series of terrible incidents take place at the college, in which several students have been turned into stone statues. What’s worse, on the wall at the spots of the incidents is always left the same sentence which says “The secret cellar has been opened.” Harry and Ron do their best to find the secret cellar at last. After many fierce fighting, Harry and Ron defeat the monster who has done all kinds of evils and get rid of him in the end.
The end of the follow-up is very exciting and catchy. As it will be on in many cinemas next week, you will surely be sorry if you miss seeing it next week. Don’t miss the chance!
