Hello class! I am subbing for Crazy5015, today we will be learning about the Places Muggles live.
Surrey
*Surrey is a county in Britain located to the southwest of London.
Little Whinging
*Vernon and Petunia Dursley live in this suburban town. Their house is located at Number Four, Privet Drive, where the houses are described as large and square. Two streets away is Magnolia Crescent.
"whinging" [WINJ-ing]: complaining, whining
Number 4, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey - a perfectly normal house, thank you very much...
*Magnolia Crescent - several streets away from Privet Drive, where the Knight Bus happened to pick Harry up at an opportune moment.
*Number 2, Magnolia Crescent - pebbly wall, Sirius Black in dog form watched Harry from next to the garage on the night he ran away from the Dursleys.
The surrounding streets include:
Magnolia Road
Magnolia Crescent
*Wisteria Walk - where Mrs. Figg lives
*alley between Wisteria Walk and Magnolia Crescent
**where Harry saw Sirius in the form of a big dog (August, 1993)
**where two Dementors attacked Harry and Dudley (August 2, 1995)
neighbors:
**Mrs. Figg
**Mr. Prentice
**Mark Evans
**Mrs. Next Door
**Mrs. Number Seven
*The zoo (minus one boa constrictor)
A local zoo to which the Dursleys take Dudley on his eleventh birthday, along with Piers Polkiss and, against their will, Harry. At the zoo, they buy ice cream treats, see a gorilla, eat at the zoo restaurant, and visit the reptile house (which Dudley finds boring since the animals aren't moving around much).
The film incorrectly shows Harry and the Dursleys at the London Zoo. This cannot be true, however, since when Harry goes to Diagon Alley, it is stated that he'd never been to London before.
Which zoo was it? There is a zoo/adventure park in Surrey which fits the bill. It's called Chessington's World of Adventure and it has both a reptile house and a family of gorillas.
Stonewall High
*The local school which Harry would be attending if he hadn't gone to Hogwarts instead. The uniforms are gray.
Grunnings
*Vernon Dursley is a director of this firm makes drills. His office is on the ninth floor and his desk faces away from the window.
QUESTIONS:
1. Where were Harry and Dudley when they were attacked by the dementors?
2. Where did the Knight Bus pick up Harry?
3. Name all 5 of Harry's Neighbors.
4. What does Dudley find boring about the Zoo?
5. What school Would Harry have attended if he did not go to Hogwarts?
6. Where does Vernon work at?
7. What does Vernon make at his work?
8. Which direction does his desk face?
9. Who went with the Dursleys' to the Zoo? *besides Harry*
10. What is the full address of Harrys Aunt and Uncles' house?
worth 20 pts.
