It was the wife. I know it.
I thought that he had bought a new house for his family and sold his old house with the furniture and went back to see his old house and the people that lived there moved the furniture... but that;s just what I thought...
I thought that maybe an earthquake had occurred, but he might have been a little irritated after that...
Now that was really good. Of course, I didn't guess a dollhouse!
I thought it was a moving company getting ready to move the old furnature.
I also think this fits better in SITUATION
GOOD JOB THOUGH

i like the answer, but my answer was that he wasn't surprised or irritated because someone had told him they were going to move it (just 'coz Harry didn't ask them to, doesn't mean they can't have decided to do it and warned him...)
i thought that he was just too surprised and shocked to care
very original
I love dollhouses. I have one, but my sister has three. I always arrange her furniture, without letting her know....so I guess this one was kind of easy. Very fun!
great teaser
Excellent teaser!
I thought that he bought a house and the movers just dumped his stuff so then his wife rearranged it when he was gone or something....but thats really complicated
If by "rearranged" do you mean "strewn out all over the place?" Because that sounds more realistic. great teaser though!
