COCKNEY
Guvnor and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, right, Privet Drive, were proud ter say that they were perfectly normal, thank yer right much. They were the chuffin' last blokes yer'd expect ter be involved in anyfink strange or mesterious, because they just didn't 'old wiv such nonsense. Guvnor Dursley were the bloomin' director of a firm called Grunnings, right, wich made drills. Right. He were a big, right, beefy man wiv 'ardly any neck, alffough 'e did have a right large mustache. Mrs. Dursley were fin and blonde and 'ad nearly twice the usual amount of neck, wich came in right useful as she spent so much of 'er time cranin' over garden fences, right, spyin' on the neighbors, init?The Dursleys 'ad a wee son called Dudley and in their opinion there were no not so badr boy anywhere. The Dursleys 'ad evryfink they wanted, right, but they also 'ad a secret, and ffeir greatest fear were that some fairy would discover it. They didn't ffink they could bear it if any fairy found out about the bloomin' Potters. Mrs. Potter were Mrs. Dursley's sister, right, but they 'adn't met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't 'ave a sister, because 'er sister and 'er good-for-nuffink ole man were as unDursleyish as it were possible ter be. The Dursleys shuddered ter ffink wot the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters 'ad a wee son, right, too, right, but they 'ad never even seen 'im. This boy was anuvver good reason for keepin' the bloomin' Potters oray; they didn't want Dudley mixin' wiv a child like that. Wen Guvnor and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the bloody dull, gray Tuesday us story starts, there were nuffink about the cloudy sky outside ter suggest that strange and mesterious fings would soon be 'appenin' all over the country. Guvnor Dursley 'ummed as 'e picked out 'is most borin' tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped oray 'appily as she wrestled a screamin' Dudley into 'is 'igh chair.

REDNECK
Mr. an' Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud t'say thet they were puffickly no'mal, thank yo' mighty much. They were th' last varmints yo'd speck t'be involved in ennythin' peekoolyar o' mahsterious, on account o' they jest didn't hold wif sech fiddlesticks. Mr. Dursley was th' direcko' of a firm called Grunnin's, which made drills. He was a trimenjus, beefy man wif hardly enny neck, although he did have a mighty large mussache. Mrs. Dursley was skimpy an' blonde an' had nearly twice th' usual amount of neck, which came in mighty useful as she spent so much of her time cranin' on over garden fences, spyin' on the neighbo's. Th' Dursleys had a small son called Dudley an' in their opinion thar was no finer fella ennywhar. Th' Dursleys had ev'rythin' they wanted, but they also had a secret, an' their greatess fear was thet somebody'd discovah it. They didn't reckon they c'd bar it eff'n ennyone foun' out about th' Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met fo' sevahal years; in fack, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't haf a sister, on account o' her sister an' her fine-fo'-nothin' husbin were as unDursleyish as it was postible t'be. Th' Dursleys shuddered t'reckon whut th' neighbo's'd say eff'n th' Potters arrived in th' street. Th' Dursleys knowed thet the Potters had a small son, too, but they had nevah even see him, dawgone it. This hyar fella was t'other fine reason fo' keepin' th' Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixin' wif a chile like thet. When Mr. an' Mrs. Dursley woke up on th' dull, gray Tuesday our sto'y starts, thar was nothin' about th' cloudy sky outside t'suggess thet peekoolyar an' mahsterious thin's'd soon be happenin' all on over the country. Mr. Dursley hoommed as he picked out his most bo'in' tie fo' wawk, an' Mrs. Dursley gostiped away happily as she wrestled a screamin' Dudley into his high chair.
