Commentar :

That part of drama persues the readers to join what the characters do, feel, hear and everything in it. It also grows the imagination of the readers to develop how to stage that part base their own idea. There are the power and vivid in that drama when it stages with good action and deep feeling. Such us, when Harry says “ Are you a ghost ? “. Actually, The good actor and or reader maybe will give the surprise or afraid expression. It is about how they interpret it. Drama in written can make the reader imagine many expression to understand the story being. It usually makes the reader not understand the story because there is many expression come to their imagination. But drama in staged just makes the audience look one expression. So, to look the real expression, it is better if the drama is staged.
