1"Dumbledore's plans required Harry growing up in the least hospitable environment possible" - [citation needed], but doesn't Dumbledore visit the Dursleys in _Deathly Hallows_(?) and get mad at them for not providing Harry with a decent home? Petunia in particular? if I recall correctly he sends her a bunch of Howlers.strugee– strugee2016-12-09 01:16:28 +00:00Commented Dec 9, 2016 at 1:16

@strugee I believe that it was Half-Blood Prince that Dumbledore came to the Dursleys and berated them. Right before the mission to recruit SlughornMatthew Barclay– Matthew Barclay2018-02-15 02:27:49 +00:00Commented Feb 15, 2018 at 2:27

@MatthewBarclay ugh, I wish I had the books in front of me but I don't think that's it. at least in the movie Dumbledore gets Harry while he's out and about, and IIRC it's the same in the book.strugee– strugee2018-02-16 01:08:56 +00:00Commented Feb 16, 2018 at 1:08

1@strugee the movie completely got rid of the Dursleys for books 4 and 6. In the book, Harry Potter was at No. 4, Privet Drive when Dumbledore came to get him. The movies never have the Dursleys being told off by DumbledoreMatthew Barclay– Matthew Barclay2018-02-16 02:30:32 +00:00Commented Feb 16, 2018 at 2:30

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
