chapter one
the boy who lived
the chapter starts with description of the dursley family, who are proud to be "perfectly normal". we learn that mrs dursley has a sister, mrs potter, but their families haven't met for several years. both families have sons.
then the story begins on a "dull, grey tuesday". mr dursley notices a lot of strange things hapenning - owls flying in town, people in cloaks, a strange cat sitting on the wall of his garden, unusual news on tv. the dursleys go to bed wondering what it all could mean. at night, a tall, thin and very old man appears near their house. it's albus dumbledore. the cat turns out to be professor mcgonagall, and the two are professors from hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. then comes hagrid, a giant, who brings little harry potter. harry's parents were killed by lord voldermort, a dark wizard, but harry survived and voldermort's power "somehow broke" .
so little harry is left asleep on the doorstep of the dursley's house with a letter written by dumbledore. the professors and hagrid go to join the celebrations.
