======Tufty======
=====Object Information=====
  * **Type:** [[Muggle]] club promotional material (film)
  * **Owners:** Seen in the home of the [[Dursley family]] (film)
  * **Maker:** Tufty Club (film)
=====Description and Appearance=====
"Tufty" refers to promotional material for a [[Muggle]] children's club, seen only in the film adaptation of //[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]//. In the film, a "Tufty Club" leaflet or application form is visible on the kitchen table at [[Number Four, Privet Drive]].
This object is a film-specific replacement for a different item in the original novel. In the book //[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]//, the object in the same location is a flyer for the **All-England Best-Kept Suburban Lawn Competition**, an event of great interest to [[Petunia Dursley]]. The name "Tufty" does not appear in the seven original novels.
=====Magical Properties and Usage=====
The Tufty Club material has no magical properties. It is an entirely [[Muggle]] object.
Its narrative usage in the film is to establish the mundane and orderly world of the [[Dursley family]]. It serves as a stark visual contrast to the dark and dangerous reality of the [[wizarding world]] that [[Harry Potter]] is preoccupied with. The presence of a children's safety club leaflet highlights the trivial, sheltered concerns of the Dursleys, deepening the sense of Harry's isolation as he waits for news about [[Lord Voldemort]].
=====Role in the Story=====
The Tufty Club material appears at the beginning of the film adaptation of //[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]//. It is a minor background detail that helps to set the scene at the [[Dursley family|Dursleys']] home during the summer of 1995.
Like the lawn competition flyer it replaces from the novel, its primary role is symbolic. It represents the profound disconnect between Harry's world and the [[Muggle]] world he is forced to inhabit. While the Dursleys are concerned with suburban normalcy and children's activities, Harry is burdened with the knowledge of a resurrected Dark Lord and the impending [[Second Wizarding War]]. This contrast underscores his frustration and feeling of being trapped.
=====Behind the Scenes=====
  * The term **Tufty** is a direct reference to **Tufty Fluffytail**, a popular character from a long-running British road safety campaign for children that began in 1953. The campaign, run by The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), featured a red squirrel named Tufty who taught children safety rules. The inclusion of a "Tufty Club" flyer in the film is a cultural Easter egg recognizable to many viewers in the United Kingdom. (film)
  * In the original novel, the object on the table is explicitly stated to be a flyer for the "All-England Best-Kept Suburban Lawn Competition." This detail serves the same narrative purpose of showcasing [[Petunia Dursley|Petunia's]] obsession with appearances and normalcy. The filmmakers likely substituted the Tufty Club reference as a more visually distinct and culturally resonant detail for a British audience.
