The Isle of Wight is an island county located about five miles off the south coast of the English mainland.[1]
History[]
In the summer of 1991, Marjorie Dursley went on holiday to the Isle, and sent a postcard from there to her brother's family, which arrived at the same time as Harry Potter's Hogwarts acceptance letter. It was here that Marge ate a 'funny whelk'.[2]
