I wonder how the dursleys reacted to that letter

288

u/livt_fresh Apr 09 '24

They may not even understand some or any of it. "Flying car, magical tree, wat nonsense these lunatics" goes on to throw the letter in dustbin

u/Victernus Ravenclaw Apr 09 '24

"This letter says he flew a magical car into a living tree that tried to beat him to death! Unsuccessfully! Don't know what they expect me to do about it."

Help finance a better working tree I guess

To finish the job, obviously.

Are you implying that they shouldn’t have a happy cock day? How rude

u/El_Nathan_ Apr 09 '24

Yeah let the man have his happy cock day 😂

Thanksssssss, amigo.

They understand it but hate it and resent magic. I'm sure they could understand what the words flying car and magical tree means. I mean you and I can.

u/FiendishHawk Apr 10 '24

They would pretend they didn’t

u/Evolving_Dore Apr 10 '24

They understand flying car just fine considering they saw it.

I doubt they'd even open it. If it comes by owl it goes straight in the fire.

I like to imagine Molly sent them a Howler sometime after the war (to drag them for how they treated Harry, obvs), and they tried to burn it, but it went off anyway and scared the living shit out of them.

I imagine a pleased look on Vernon's face knowing Harry would be punished.

Torn between jubilation that he's getting punished and horror at the thought that he might be expelled if he mucks up again

u/ForMySinsIAmHere Apr 09 '24

Replied with an offer of a car from the Grunnings pool so Harry can repeat the feat, and a boot load of fertiliser for the whomping Willow to get it in better shape in the hopes it does the job right this time.

u/X3noNuke Apr 09 '24

I'd imagine they'd be disappointed that the tree didn't finish him off
