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. At half past eight, Mr. Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs. Dursley on the cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley good-bye but missed, because Dudley was now having a tantrum and throwing his cereal at the walls.
當杜斯利先生和夫人在灰暗陰沉的星期二早晨醒來時，我們的故事便開始了。雖然外面陰云密布的天空并不能預(yù)示著今天一定會有什么離奇古怪的事情發(fā)生。杜斯利先生一邊哼著小曲一邊拿出他最差的領(lǐng)帶準備去上班，杜斯利夫人則一邊口中叨念著一邊把依依呀呀的達德里放到高椅子上去。 沒有一個人注意到這時有一只巨大的褐色的貓頭鷹從窗外掠過。 八點半時，杜斯利先生拿起他的公文包去上班。臨行前，在杜斯刊夫人的面頰上吻了一下算是告別。他本來要在達德里臉上也親一口的，但是因為達德里正在發(fā)脾氣并且把麥片往墻上扔，便只好作罷。
