In this episode, we discuss aspects of the Dursley family and 4 Privet Drive and if we give them a yay or nay. Enjoy!
Topics/Summary:
· 1:24 The Dursleys are mean to Harry. Yay! This is the hallmark of the Dursley household. We would really be missing something if they were complete angels to him. It might be an interesting story if they were kinder, but the fact that they are trying to stamp the magic out of him that make them so memorable.
· 8:06 The cupboard under the stairs. Yay! We absolutely need to see the cupboard under the stairs. Harry is only there for the first book of the series, but it marks a very important checkpoint in Harry’s life. It is where his Hogwarts letters were addressed, and it is where his journey begins.
· 14:13 The Dursleys are stupid. Nay! It is easy to be stupid and mean. But if they were a little smarter, we might hate them more. The same way Umbridge is smart and can get her way, the Dursleys might benefit from a little more brains.
· 19:56 4 Privet Drive is a nice place to live. Yay! If 4 Privet Drive and the surrounding area is pretty nice and a pleasant enough place to live, it means more for Harry to dislike it so much. If it was a terrible place, he would have more of an excuse to hate it. But it is the Dursleys themselves that make it such an uncomfortable place for him.
· 23:37 Harry and Dudley are friends from the start. Nay! The moment when Dudley and Harry part ways at the end is the most important for the Dursley/Harry arc. That is the capstone of Harry’s time with the Dursleys. Harry only realizes what he had until it is gone.
· 27:22 The Dursleys accept Harry’s help in fleeing Voldemort. Yay! The two form a sort of alliance by the end of the story, and that truce is what allows the Dursleys to accept Harry’s help and find shelter for the conflict to come. They accept Harry’s word and part ways as equals.
