You’re never going back to that school.

You’re never going to see those freaky friends of yours again. Never!

Hiya, Harry.

Ron, Fred, George, What are you all doing here?

Rescuing you, of course. Now, come on, get your trunk.

You better stand back.

Lets go.

What was that? What was it?

Potter!

Dad, whats going on?

Go, Go, Go.

Dad, hurry up.

Come on, Come on, Harry, hurry up.

Petunia, hes escaping!

I’ve got you, Harry. Come here!

Let go of me! No, boy!

You and that bloody pigeon aren’t going anywhere.

Get off! Drive!

Right, Right!

No, No, No, No!

Dad!

Damn.

By the way, Harry, happy birthday.

Come on.

Okay, come on. Shh, shh.

Okay, come on.

Think it’d be all right if we had some?

Yeah, Mum will never know.

Its not much, but its home.

I think its brilliant.

Where have you been?

Harry, how wonderful to see you, dear.

Beds empty, No note, Car gone.

You could have died, You could have been seen.

Of course, I don’t blame you, Harry, dear.

They were starving him, Mum. There were bars on his window.

Well, you best hope I don’t put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley.

Come on, Harry, time for a spot of breakfast.

Here we are, Harry. Now, tuck in.

That’s it. There we go.

Mummy, have you seen my jumper? Yes, dear, it was on the cat.

Hello.

What did I do?

Ginny, Shes been talking about you all summer. A bit annoying, really.

Morning, Weasleys. Morning, Dad.

What a night, Nine raids. Raids?

Dad works in the Ministry of Magic, in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office.

Dad loves Muggles, thinks they’re fascinating.

Well, now.

And who are you?

Oh, sorry, sir, I’m Harry, sir. Harry Potter.

Good Lord, Are you really?

Well, Ron has told us all about you, of course. When did he get here?

This morning.

Your sons flew that enchanted car of yours to Surrey and back last night.

Did you really? How did it go?

I mean-That was very wrong indeed, boys, Very wrong of you.

Now, Harry, you must know all about Muggles.

Tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?

Oh, um…

Well, that’ll be Errol with the post.

Fetch it, will you, Percy, please?

Errol, Hes always doing that.

Oh, look, its our Hogwarts letters. They’ve sent us Harry’s as well.

Dumbledore must know you’re here. Doesn’t miss a trick, that man.

Oh, no, This lot wont come cheap.

The spell books alone are expensive. Well manage.

There’s only one place were going to get all of this, Diagon Alley.

Right, Here we are, Harry. You go first, dear.

But Harry’s never traveled by Floo powder before, Mum.

Floo powder?

You go first, Ron, so that Harry can see how its done.

Yes, In you go.

That’s it.

Diagon Alley.

You see? Its quite easy, dear. Don’t be afraid, Come on.

Come on.

In you go, That’s it. Mind your head.

That’s right, Now, take your Floo powder.

That’s it, very good.

Now, don’t forget to speak very, very clearly.

Diagonally.

What did he say, dear? Diagonally.

I thought he did.
