What is the opening paragraph to the UK/Bloomsbury version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?
-
I have the Latin version and I'm trying to check my translation, but my American English version is the Scholastic form, and it's not matching up with my translation. I think this is because the Latin translator used a UK/Bloomsbury book. If someone could post the opening paragraph, that would help me figure out if this is the problem. If it is the problem, looks like I'll be ordering the Bloomsbury versions of the Potter series!

Answer:
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number 4, Private Drive, were proud to say they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be invovled in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense. hope that helps.

The opening paragraph would be the same in both! After all, JK Rowling only wrote one book. I've got the Welsh version, and it isn't word perfect at all. They change some sentences and idioms to make it sound better.
