dursleys

[emily leonard]

do you think that the dursleys are intresing people? jkr has already given info on them to be more then they seem what do you think? :confused: :D

The Dursleys are interesting from the point of their total conformity to their idea of "being like folks" and their marked aversion to magic in any form. Apart from that they are interesting for their cruelty and insensitivity and self-centredness. Then there is the blood relation between Petunia and Harry and therefore between Dudley and Harry.

There certainly seems to be more to Petunia than meets the eye (remember my last and all).

They are interesting though. In real life, they'd be terribly boring to have dinner with, but they are fun to read about. I'm looking forward to Dudley especially next book... :evil:

I'm glad you started this thread, as I have begun a second reading of the series just this month. I'm still on book one, and I have been trying to read very carefully, knowing what I know due to having read them already. I want to try to analyze each character and facet of the plot as I read, and of course that starts with the Dursleys, since that is where the book begins.

I can't post my observations right now, however, so I'll save that for tomorrow. :)
