Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. 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.

Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. 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. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years; in fact, Mrs. 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. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.

When Mr. 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. Mr. Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair.

None of them noticed a large, tawny owl flutter past the window.

住在四号普里怀特街的杜斯利先生及夫人,非常骄傲地宣称自己是十分正常的人。但是他们最不希望见到的就是任何奇怪或神秘故事中的人物,因为他们对此总是嗤之以鼻。

  杜斯利先生是一家叫作格朗宁斯的钻机工厂的老板。他非常肥壮、结实,几乎肥到没有颈根,但却有一把大胡子。杜斯利夫人则非常苗条,一头金发。她的颈根有常人的两倍那么长,这使得她整天伸长脖子透过花园围栏去偷窥邻居家的动静变得非常容易。杜斯利夫妇有个儿子叫做达德里。在他们眼中,这世界上再没有比达德里更棒的男孩了。

  杜斯利一家几乎有他们想要的一切东西。但是他们也有一个秘密,而且他们最大的担心就是有一天别人会发现这个秘密。如果有人知道关于波特一家的事,他们就会认为自己无法保守这个秘密了。波特夫人是杜斯利夫人的妹妹,但是她们已经有很多年没有见面了、事实上,杜斯利夫人假装她从来没有什么妹妹,因为她的妹妹和那不中用的妹夫没有一丝一毫杜斯利家族的风范。一想到波特一家的到来会招致邻居的议论,杜斯利一家就会浑身发抖。杜斯利一家知道波特夫妇也有一个儿子,只是未曾谋面。这个小男孩也成了杜斯利一家避开波特一家的借口,因为他们不希望听话的达德里与这种小孩混在一起。

  当杜斯利先生和夫人在灰暗阴沉的星期二早晨醒来时,我们的故事便开始了。虽然外面阴云密布的天空并不能预示着今天一定会有什么离奇古怪的事情发生。杜斯利先生一边哼着小曲一边拿出他最差的领带准备去上班,杜斯利夫人则一边口中叨念着一边把依依呀呀的达德里放到高椅子上去。

  没有一个人注意到这时有一只巨大的褐色的猫头鹰从窗外掠过。
