4 Privet Drive

   
   First Floor         Second Floor

    Here is a list of excerpts that I used to aid my drawing of the Dursley’s house. When reading these you may wonder how some of the excerpts are relevant but if read closely you will see that if they do not describe where something is in the house, then they describe something that is part of the house. I have bolded words for emphases.

Book 1 (U.S. Edition)

Page 19, When he went down the hall from his cupboard he arrived in the kitchen.

Page 37, The Dursley’s house had 4 bedrooms: one for Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, one for visitors (usually Uncle Vernon’s sister, Marge), one where Dudley slept, and one where Dudley kept all the toys and things that wouldn’t fit in his first bedroom.

Page 38, “There’s another one! ‘Mr. H. Potter, The Smallest Bedroom, Number 4 Privet Drive –‘”

Page 41, Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he (Uncle Vernon) spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head…

Book 2 (U.S. Edition)

Page 5, “In the lounge,” said Aunt Petunia proptly, “waiting to welcome them graciously to our home.”

Page 6, “May I take you through the dining room Mrs. Mason?”

Page 7, Harry left through the backdoor…. He crossed the lawn, slumped down on the garden bench, and sang under his breath “Happy birthday to me… happy birthday to me.”

Page 7, He gazes miserably into the hedge.

Page 11, Harry passes the living room door on his way upstairs

Page 20, Aunt petunia was just passing around a box of after-dinner mints when a huge barn owl swooped through the dining room window…

Book 3 (U.S. Edition)

Page 17, Aunt Petunia, who was bony and horse-faced, whipped around and peered intently our of the kitchen window.

Nothing very helpful was found in either book 4 or 5.
