No 4, Privet Drive, Little Whinging

Under the stairs, No four Privet Drive

Little Whinging is a fictitious city in Surrey, England, located to the south of London. Alison Lurie noted inside the New York Review of Books that Little Whinging's name is "a funny story that American readers won't get: we [Americans] might name the area Little Whining".[9]

Number four, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, is the Dursleys' domestic, in which Harry lives with his aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon, and cousin Dudley. He has lived there since the age of fifteen months, having formerly lived along with his dad and mom in Godric's Hollow; however, due to the fact that he started attending Hogwarts, he spends little time there, though he reluctantly returns throughout the summer vacations. Number four is thought to have four bedrooms upstairs, at the least one rest room, a kitchen, a sitting room and a conservatory downstairs (other than the cabinet beneath the steps).

The call of the road refers to the hedges that enclose many suburban gardens, as Rowling favored the concept of enclosure. In the novels and movies, the Dursleys' domestic is in a respectable and uninteresting neighbourhood where the neighbours ostracise Harry, who despises Little Whinging because of his memories of his cruel remedy there. Arabella Figg, who livesstreets away from 4 Privet Drive in the novels (however simply throughout the road in the movies) is aware of of Harry's magic, due to the fact she is a Squib member of the Order of the Phoenix, positioned in Little Whinging by way of Dumbledore to hold an eye on Harry. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore well-knownshows that the motive Harry have to return there as a minimum once a 12 months is due to the safety Harry's mother left upon him whilst she gave her existence to shop him. That act allowed an "historical magic" to paintings, which supposed Harry may want to never be harmed so long as he lived within the care of his mom's blood; in this situation, his Aunt Petunia. This allure would not expire till Harry grew to become 17.

Other cited places in Little Whinging are Magnolia Crescent relatively across the corner and a playground at a piece of a distance to Privet Drive which before Harry's fifth yr has been in part demolished with the aid of Dudley and his gang.

It sits in a region with other Harry Potter sets and props.Malfoy Manor[edit]
