CHAPTER

Harry and the Dursleys: A Memoir of Chaos

In this chapter, we catch up with Harry who is very desperate for news after the return of Voldemort last year. We hear about how he's trying to watch the news with the Dursleys and how they don't let him watch their TV anymore. He hears a loud crack in the neighborhood close by, kind of like someone apparating or disaparating, and then chaos ensues. Not a lot going on in that chapter. Yeah, no big deal. It feels like it's a longer first chapter, but everything again, and not surprising because it's J.K. Rowling, but everything has weight to it. And you're entertained the whole time.
