Picture: The Dursleys
Dudley, Mr and Mrs Dursley
In the first chapter of Harry Potter the story starts with a family called the Dursleys. This family had everything they already wanted and Mr. and Mrs. Dursley did not want anything to do with Mrs. Dursleys, Sisters family the Potters. However Mr. Dursley went to work the one day and found many things not to be right. He even saw people wearing cloaks. While at work he was to busy to realise the owls outside. Not knowing what was going on he went home and did not tell Mrs Dursley about his day because he didnt want to worry her.
In the meantime all the activity from the magical word was because "u know who" was dead. This was when Harry lived he was still a baby and needed a home and the Dursleys was his only family so this is were Harry had to go and Stay.
In this chapter we already see that the family was not fond of the Potters and they had no choice but to take in the child. Mrs Dursley's first reaction was a loud scream. They also did not want other people to know about the child and tried to keep it hush hush. Harry was still a small baby at this time and was already tortured by his cousin that pinched and prodded him. Harry was very special and wizards all over the world knew this because he was the boy who lived. And afterwards You know who was gone. This is what people thought.
This chapter of the book was very intriguing and easy to read it also makes u feel sorry for this little boy not knowing what is going to happen to him and how his life might turn out.

In the first chapter:
ReplyDeleteYes monique you are right about how the Dursleys seem to feel about the Potters, and Mrs dursley more than everyone else.And to think that she is the one who relates to Harry's mother... The woman is the typical housewife who sits the whole day gossiping about everyone,while husband works. She treats Harry horribly.
What i dont get is that, how come Mrs Dursly not a wizzard,her and Harry's mum were blood sisters, I guess it make you wonder. but I think she was born with a devil's heart. What kind of a parent treats a child like that, and orphan for that matter. Harry is just a child he did not ask for all of this. But i guess we can't choose who we are related to.
