Final answer:
The provided excerpts do not specify the number of owls carrying a package for Harry in the Harry Potter series; typically, one owl carries a single package or letter as per series lore.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given excerpts, it is mentioned that a package was left for Harry at the doorstep. However, the exact number of owls carrying the package is not mentioned in the provided information. Therefore, we cannot determine the specific number of owls carrying the package for Harry based on the given excerpts.
The question refers to a scenario from the Harry Potter series involving owls delivering packages. However, none of the excerpts provided specifically mention the number of owls carrying a package for Harry. The first excerpt describes Professor Dum bledore placing Harry on the doorstep of the Dursleys with a letter but does not refer to any owls carrying packages for Harry at this time. The second excerpt from Macbeth also does not provide relevant information regarding owls delivering packages. The third and fourth excerpts are also not pertinent to Harry Potter's owls. The most indicative information about owls in the context of Harry Potter is known from the broader lore of the series, where typically a single owl would carry a package or letter to Harry. Without specific information from the given excerpts, we cannot accurately determine how many owls were carrying a package for Harry in the particular scene in question.
Hence, one owl was carrying a package for Harry.
