Mr and Mrs Dursley of Number 4 Privet Drive were perfectly normal, thank you very much

we're not attacking u lol
we just both luv hp

yup that is exactly what i'm doing

we're not attacking u lol
we just both luv hp"
ik ik but can i explain why i dont

They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.

made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin
and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck

i don't like hp bc: jkr is a piece of shit, i didn't watch the movies until after i knew that so it reflected my view on the movies, the ONLY asian character is named cho chang like come on, i was like 15 when i watched it and if i read the books at 11 i probably would've loved them but i kinda grew out of it, and, also, i need to say it again bc duh: jkr fucking sucks
thank you good night


what is the usual amount of neck help

Yes she does

yeah i agree with that
however, artistic expression needs to be separated from opinions (at least, for me) so i'm talking from the standpoint of just the story content which is spectacular and the movies are meh
books are spectacular as i said

exactly
and that is why i don't like hp very much

aww otay byebyeee have a good day <33

i don't like hp bc: jkr is a piece of shit, i didn't watch the movies until after i knew that so it reflected my view o..."
well you're explaining why you don't like her so much, her stupid views don't have anything to do with the actual books
but i agree, it was also lacking representation

i don't like hp bc: jkr is a piece of shit, i didn't watch the movies until after i knew that so it reflected my view on the movies, t..."
yeah yeah yeah BUT how tf do you separate the art from the artist when there's evidence of her opinions IN HER WORK

exactly
i agree with mary, but she's just going on shallow surface-level characteristics, which isn't a problem necessarily, but i'm referencing the actual story whilst overlooking social issues

but she still thinks the same now
and there are plenty of books from the 90s that aren't homophobic
JUST LOOK AT PERKS!! WRITTEN IN 1999 WITH A GAY SIDE CHARACTER
i give up

i don't like hp bc: jkr is a piece of shit, i didn't watch the movies until after ..."
yes her views indeed do have something to do with the books/movies
at least for me they do, considering i watched it after knowing about her being a piece of shit
it affected my opinion a lot

but she still thinks the same now
and there are plenty of books from the 90s that aren't homophobic
JUST LOOK ..."
mary you dumb nut she's transphobic, not homophobic
anddddd, spoiler alert dumbledore is gay af, and including a gay character in the '90s was very rare
but yeah she is a transphobic idiot i didnt disagree w that

i don't like hp bc: jkr is a piece of s..."
so that just reflects your inability to separate that from the content
and the movies are not an adequate representation of the story she crafted anyway
(im kidding ofc we just have different ways of perceiving art)

but she still thinks the same now
and there are plenty of books from the ..."
i'm pretty sure she's both lmao
yeah ik it was rare BUT SHE STILL THINKS THE SAME WAY AND IT ISN'T FUCKING RARE ANYMORE

i ..."
well, how does one separate that from the content when there's examples of it in the content?
i'm not wrong
cho chang
really
REALLY??
i fucking can't

the dursley's had a small son called dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere. the dursley's had everything they wanted but they also had a secret and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. they didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the potters. mrs potter was mrs dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years; in fact, mrs dursley pretending she didnt have a sister because her sister and her good for nothing husband were as undursleyish as possible to be. the dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the potters arrived in the street. the dursleys knew that the potters had a small son too, but they had never even seen him. this boy was another good reason for keepng the potters away, they didnt want dudley mixing with a child like that.
