Geoff:

It is.

"But Hagrid simply waved his hand and said, 'About our world, I mean. 
your world. My world. Yer parents' world.'
'What world?'
HAgrid looked as if he was about to explod.
'DURSLEY', he boomed.
Uncle Vernon, who had gone very pale, whispered something that 
sounded like 'Mimblewimble'."
