I’m surprised the Ministry’s still letting you walk around free.

Better enjoy it while you can.

I expect there’s a cell in Azkaban with your name on it.

What’d I tell you? Complete nutter. Just stay away from me!

It’s only Malfoy.

What’d you expect?

Hi, guys.

Hey, Neville.

What is it?

What’s what? That. Pulling the carriage.

Nothing’s pulling the carriage, Harry.

It’s pulling itself, like always.

You’re not going mad.

I can see them too.

You’re just as sane as I am.

Everyone, this is Loony Love…

Luna Lovegood.

What an interesting necklace.

It’s a charm, actually.

Keeps away the Nargles.

Hungry.

I hope there’s pudding.

What’s a Nargle? No idea.

Good evening, children.

Now, we have two changes in staffing this year.

We’re pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank…

…who’ll be taking Care of Magical Creatures while Professor Hagrid is on temporary leave.

We also wish to welcome our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher…

…Professor Dolores Umbridge.

And I’m sure you’ll all join me in wishing the professor good luck.

Now, as usual, our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind you…

She was at my hearing. She works for Fudge.

Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome.

And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me.

I’m sure we’re all going to be very good friends.

That’s likely. That’s likely.

The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance.

Although each headmaster has brought something new to this historic school…

…progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged.

Let us preserve what must be preserved…

…perfect what can be perfected…

…and prune practices that ought to be prohibited.

Thank you, Professor Umbridge. That really was most illuminating.

Illuminating? What a load of waffle. What’s it mean?

Magic is forbidden in the corridors…

It means the Ministry’s interfering at Hogwarts.

Dean, Seamus.

Good holiday? All right.

Better than Seamus, anyway.

My mum didn’t want me to come back this year.

Why not? Let me see. Because of you.

The Daily Prophets been saying a lot of things about you harry and about Dumbledore as well.

What, your mum believes them?

Well nobody was there the night Cedric died.

I guess you should read the Prophet, then, like your stupid mother, will tell you everything you need to know

Don’t talk about my mother. I’ll have a go at anyone that calls me a liar.

What’s going on? He’s mad, is what’s going on.

Do you believe the rubbish he’s come out with about You-Know-Who?

Yeah. I do.

Has anyone else got a problem with Harry?

You all right? Fine.

Seamus was bang out of order, mate.

But hell come through, you’ll see. I said, I’m fine, Ron.

Right. I’ll just leave you to your thoughts, then.

Harry.

Bring it over here. Over here.

Oh, go on, Seamus. Go on, get it.

Good morning, children.

Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations.

O-W-Ls.

More commonly known as OWLs.

Study hard and you will be rewarded.

Fail to do so, and the consequences may be severe.

Your previous instruction in this subject has been disturbingly uneven.

But you’ll be pleased to know,
