The contrast that Rowling develops between day and night prefigures the more crucial contrast between the story’s regular globe and its wizard world. Mr. Dursley, who walks around throughout the day, characterizes the dullness and dullness of everyday life, while Albus Dumbledore, that slinks about at night, exemplifies the fantasy and also enigma of magic. His act of magically putting out all the streetlights near the Dursleys’ home produces a splitting up between these 2 worlds. Professor McGonagall’s ability to take the shape of both a pet cat and a human shows the difference between wizards, who have magic at their disposal, as well as Muggles, who do not. However Rowling quickly shows us a much higher splitting up– a geographical one– in between these 2 realms, carrying us ultimately from an average English community right into the magical places that wizards frequent.
From the start, Rowling produces a great buzz regarding the protagonist of the story, Harry Potter, both for the various other characters in the story and also for us, the viewers.

These prophecies create a potent mood of enigma around Harry. Furthermore, though we do not yet understand why Harry is unique, we see that he is destined to play a crucial role. Rowling locates him in opposition to the effective and been afraid Voldemort, as well as it becomes clear that these two numbers will most likely face each other at some point in a critical fight.
