In most modern houses, built on slabs rather than foundations, there is a triangular area under the staircase between the first and second floors, which is generally used for coat storage or similar. In the Dursley home, this space, less than 3 feet wide, five to seven feet tall at one end tapering down to nothing at the other, and possibly seven to ten feet long, and probably without flooring material or anything resembling furniture, was Harry Potter's bedroom and the only place he could keep any of his possessions.This state of affairs continued until shortly before his eleventh birthday.
