Harry Potter retelling pt.1 The first chapter of the famous book “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” is called “The Boy Who Lived”, but, in fact, it describes some strange things that were happening in the Privet Drive. Mr Dursley, Mrs Dursley and their son Dudley were a normal family. At least, they did their best to pretend that there was nothing strange or mystical about them. Mr Dursley was a big fat man who was the director of a firm which made drills. His wife was a lean blond housewife who spent her day spying on their neighbors and baby-sitting their son. Speaking about Dudley, according to the Dursleys opinion, he was the best baby ever, despite his despicable behavior. The story began on one gray morning. When Mr Dursley went to work, the first thing that he saw was a cat. It wasn’t just a usual cat you can see everywhere. This one was reading a map! This was the first unpleasant sing that Mr Dursley’s day wouldn’t good. On his way to work Mr Dursley noticed that something strange was going on – there were a lot of people on the streets wearing cloaks! He was puzzled and pissed off. He hated those cheerful people and their happy faces. The first half of the day Mr Dursley was in a really good mood, but when he left the office to stretch his legs and to buy a bun he overheard those people spoke about the Potters and their son Harry. Although, he wasn’t even sure that his nephew’s name was Harry, he couldn’t get his thoughts back to the drills. When Mr Dursley got back home he tried to forget everything about that bad day, but he didn’t manage to keep silent. He asked his wife about her sister, but got nothing by a few sharp phrases. When they got to bed and Mrs Dursley fell asleep, Mr Dursley was still thinking about the Potters, the cloaks, the cat and this strange day. While Mr Dursley was turning over in his bed, a tall, old man appeared in Privet Drive. He was wearing a cloak, too, and half-moon glasses. He wasn’t welcomed here at all, but the cat was waiting for him. His name was Albus Dumbledore.
