In the beginning of my book the story takes place at summertime in Little Whinging, Surrey. Which is a sweet little neighbor hood with a lot of summer flowers (at the time) and is over all a pleasant place.

But a few chapters in, the story changes place to number twelve, Grimmauld place, London. Grimmauld place is not at all a pleasant neighbor hood and the house they live in is very old and shabby. As Harry's first impression of the house clearly describes: "He could smell damp, dust and a sweetish, rotting smell; the place had the feeling of a derelict building." (Page 59.)

The book is written in the present at the time the book was written, which was the year 2003.

The main character in this book is Harry Potter. The first impression you get of him is that he is not accepted in his neighborhood. And that he is kind of an outsider. He doesn't seem to have any friends and he lives with his aunt and uncle, wich doesn't seem to be very fond of him. They seem to see him as more of a burden than a part of the family. He is skinny and wears glasses. His hair is black, messy and pointing in many different directions. You can understand that Harry isn't a normal boy, because his aunt and uncle talks about "his kind of people", like they were ashamed of it, and that it was something that they didn't want anyone to know.
I think everyone know that Harry Potter is a wizard but it has, as far I've read, not been explained yet.
