The Dursleys are a well-to-do, status-conscious family living in Surrey, England.

Eager to keep up
proper appearances, they are embarrassed by Mrs. Dursley’s eccentric sister, Mrs. Potter, whom for
years Mrs. Dursley has pretended not to know. On his way to work one ordinary morning, Mr.
Dursley notices a cat reading a map. He is unsettled, but tells himself that he has only imagined it.
Then, as Mr. Dursley is waiting in traffic, he notices people dressed in brightly colored cloaks. Walking
past a bakery later that day, he overhears people talking in an excited manner about his sister-in-
law’s family, the Potters, and the Potters’ one-year-old son, Harry. Disturbed but still not sure
anything is wrong, Mr. Dursley decides not to say anything to his wife. On the way home, he bumps
into a strangely dressed man who gleefully exclaims that someone named “You-Know-Who” has
finally gone and that even a “Muggle” like Mr. Dursley should rejoice. Meanwhile, the news is full of
unusual reports of shooting stars and owls flying during the day.
