This letter was written by Albus Dumbledore on 1 November, 1981 to Petunia Dursley. The letter detailed the wards that would be created if she were to take in her nephew, Harry Potter, until he was seventeen. In 1995, Albus Dumbledore felt that the dementor attack on Harry and Dudley had "awoken her to the dangers of having [Harry Potter] as a surrogate son"[1], and sent her a howler to remind her of it.

Behind the scenes

  • In the first book the letter was to Petunia, but in the first film it was both to Petunia and Vernon.
  • In the film the first film the letter has an error. The letter says Mrs. and Mr. V. Dursley saying that both have names with first letter "V". But Mrs. Dursley's names starts with "P".
