Dursley family

The Dursley family, characters from the Harry Potter series, are Harry's aunt, uncle, and cousin. They are ordinary, non-magical people living in a small town, proud of their normalcy. They disapprove of anything unusual, especially Harry’s magical background, and seek to hide his true identity. Their behavior reflects typical suburban values, emphasizing appearances and traditions, but their treatment of Harry highlights themes of neglect and misunderstanding within family relationships. The Dursleys serve as a contrast to the magical world Harry belongs to, illustrating the tension between the mundane and the extraordinary.
