Harry looked up into the свирепое, wild, shadowy face and saw that the beetle eyes were crinkled in a smile.

‘STOP! I FORBID YOU!’ yelled Uncle Vernon in панике.

Aunt Petunia gave a ахнула от ужаса.

Hagrid вышел из себя and granted Dudley a pig’s tail.

Hagrid

A giant of a man was standing in the doorway. His face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard, but you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles under all the hair.
