About This Adventure

In the stifling summer of 1987, Little Whinging’s Privet Drive remains a monument to identical net curtains, polished cars, and the fierce English determination never to notice anything unusual. Number 4 continues its grim routine: a large pink-faced boy grows rounder on stolen sweets, his parents polish their ordinary lives to a high shine, and a thin dark-haired child is kept firmly out of sight whenever possible. Then the “For Sale” sign across the street vanishes overnight. In its place appear a short, bearded Frenchman humming while he unloads elegant trunks, a woman of impossible silver-blonde grace who makes the neighbouring roses look dowdy, and two daughters—one poised and watchful at eleven, the other a small silver-haired whirlwind of five. Subtle charms keep owls quiet and gardens slightly too perfect; the scent of proper coffee and bouillabaisse drifts over the privet instead of boiled cabbage. Vernon Dursley’s face darkens every time he glimpses the new neighbours; Petunia’s jealousy hardens into obsessive monitoring; Dudley’s gang rides their bicycles a little slower past the gleaming front gate. Arabella Figg, knitting on Wisteria Walk, suddenly has far more interesting knitting to do. No one has yet broken the Statute, no fireballs have charred a lawn, and the cupboard under the stairs still holds its sullen silence—but the air itself feels charged, as if the entire street is holding its breath, waiting for the first crack in the carefully maintained normal.
