Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair. Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.

The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street.


Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years in fact, Mrs. They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. By the end of the book you come to love the characters and you want to read more.Mr. I would definitely recommend this book because it keeps you reading without ever wanting to put the book down. Rowling has me gripped! There is never a dull moment, whether it's battling with trolls, a three-headed dog, or Harry facing Lord Voldermort. From the very beginning until the end J.K. I can read this book over and over again. At Hogwarts Harry realises he's special and his adventures begin when he and his new friends Ron and Hermione attempt to unravel the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone. Harry is unloved by his uncle and aunt but everything changes when he is invited to join Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and he finds out he's a wizard. It is a story about Harry Potter, an orphan brought up by his aunt and uncle because his parents were killed when he was a baby. One of my favourite books is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
