Fill in the blank 1 of 14 Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of Fill in the blank 2 of 14 number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were Fill in the blank 3 of 14 last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such Fill in the blank 4 of 14 nonsense.

Mr. Dursley was Fill in the blank 5 of 14 director of Fill in the blank 6 of 14 firm called Grunnings, which made Fill in the blank 7 of 14 drills. He was Fill in the blank 8 of 14 big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have Fill in the blank 9 of 14 very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice Fill in the blank 10 of 14 usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over Fill in the blank 11 of 14 garden fences, spying on Fill in the blank 12 of 14 neighbours. Fill in the blank 13 of 14 Dursleys had Fill in the blank 14 of 14 small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

Fill in the blank 1 of 19 Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had Fill in the blank 2 of 19 secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about Fill in the blank 3 of 19 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 Fill in the blank 4 of 19 sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. Fill in the blank 5 of 19 Dursleys shuddered to think what Fill in the blank 6 of 19 neighbours would say if Fill in the blank 7 of 19 Potters arrived in their street. Fill in the blank 8 of 19 Dursleys knew that the Potters had Fill in the blank 9 of 19 small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping Fill in the blank 10 of 19 Potters away; they didn’t want Dudley mixing with Fill in the blank 11 of 19 child like that.

When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on Fill in the blank 12 of 19 dull, grey Tuesday our story begins, there was nothing about Fill in the blank 13 of 19 cloudy sky outside to suggest that Fill in the blank 14 of 19 strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over Fill in the blank 15 of 19 country. Mr. Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for Fill in the blank 16 of 19 work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled Fill in the blank 17 of 19 screaming Dudley into his high chair. None of them noticed Fill in the blank 18 of 19 large, tawny owl flutter past Fill in the blank 19 of 19 window.

At Fill in the blank 1 of 29 half past eight, Mr. Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs. Dursley on Fill in the blank 2 of 29 cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley good-bye but missed, because Dudley was now having Fill in the blank 3 of 29 tantrum and throwing his cereal at Fill in the blank 4 of 29 walls. “Little tyke,” chortled Mr. Dursley as he left Fill in the blank 5 of 29 house. He got into his car and backed out of Fill in the blank 6 of 29 number four’s drive.

It was on Fill in the blank 7 of 29 corner of Fill in the blank 8 of 29 street that he noticed Fill in the blank 9 of 29 first sign of something peculiar — Fill in the blank 10 of 29 cat reading Fill in the blank 11 of 29 map. For Fill in the blank 12 of 29 second, Mr. Dursley didn’t realize what he had seen — then he jerked his head around to look again. There was Fill in the blank 13 of 29 tabby cat standing on Fill in the blank 14 of 29 corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn’t Fill in the blank 15 of 29 map in sight. What could he have been thinking of? It must have been Fill in the blank 16 of 29 trick of Fill in the blank 17 of 29 light. Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at Fill in the blank 18 of 29 cat. It stared back. As Mr. Dursley drove around Fill in the blank 19 of 29 corner and up Fill in the blank 20 of 29 road, he watched Fill in the blank 21 of 29 cat in his mirror. It was now reading Fill in the blank 22 of 29 sign that said Privet Drive — no, looking at Fill in the blank 23 of 29 sign; Fill in the blank 24 of 29 cats couldn’t read Fill in the blank 25 of 29 maps or signs. Mr. Dursley gave himself Fill in the blank 26 of 29 little shake and put Fill in the blank 27 of 29 cat out of his mind. As he drove towards Fill in the blank 28 of 29 town he thought of nothing except Fill in the blank 29 of 29 large order of drills he was hoping to get that day.
