-Take her away, Ern. -Yeah, take it away, Ernie.

lt’s going to be a bumpy ride.

-What did you say your name was? -l didn’t.

-Whereabouts are you headed? -The Leaky Cauldron. That’s in London.

You hear that? The Leaky Cauldron. That’s in London.

The Leaky Cauldron. lf you have pea soup…

…make sure you eat it before it eats you.

-But the Muggles, Cant they see us? -Muggles?

They don’t see nothing, do they?

No, but if you jab them with a fork, they feel.

Ernie, little old lady at 12 o’clock!

Ten, nine, eight…

…seven, six, five…

…four, three, three and a half…

…two, one and three quarters.

Yes!

Who is that?

That man.

Who is that?

Who is–?

That is Sirius Black, that is.

Don’t tell me you’ve never been hearing of Sirius Black.

He’s a murderer.

Got himself locked up in Azkaban for it.

-How did he escape? -Well, that’s the question, isn’t it?

He’s the first one that done it.

He was a big supporter of…

…You-Know-Who.

l reckon you’ve heard of him.

Yeah.

Him l’ve heard of.

Ernie, two double-deckers at 12 oclock.

They’re getting closer, Ernie.

Ernie, they’re right on top of us!

Mind your head.

Hey, guys? Guys?

Why the long faces?

Yeah, yeah. Nearly there. Nearly there.

-The Leaky Cauldron. -Next stop, Knockturn Alley.

Mr. Potter, at last.

-Take it away, Ern. -Yeah, take it away, Ernie!

Room 11 .

Hedwig.

Right smart bird you got there, Mr. Potter.

He arrived here just five minutes before yourself.

As Minister for Magic, it is my duty to inform you, Mr. Potter…

…earlier this evening your uncles sister was located…

…a little south of Sheffield, circling a chimney stack.

The Accidental Magic Reversal Department was dispatched immediately.

She has been properly punctured and her memory modified.

She will have no recollection of the incident whatsoever.

So that’s that…

…and no harm done.

Pea soup?

No, thank you.

-Minister? -Yes?

-l don’t understand. -Understand?

l broke the law. Underage wizards cant use magic at home.

Come now. The Ministry doesn’t send people to Azkaban…

…for blowing up their aunts.

On the other hand, running away like that, given the state of things…

…was very, very irresponsible.

-The state of things, sir? -We have a killer on the loose.

Sirius Black, you mean?

But what’s he got to do with me?

Nothing, of course. You’re safe. And that’s what matters.

And tomorrow you’ll be on your way back to Hogwarts.

These are your new schoolbooks. l took the liberty…

…of having them brought here. Now Tom will show you to your room.

Hedwig.

Oh, by the way, Harry. Whilst you’re here, it would be best if you didn’t…

…wander.

Right! You gonna move that bus or what?

Housekeeping.

l’ll come back later.

l’m warning you, Hermione.

Keep that beast away from Scabbers, or l’ll turn it into a tea cozy.

lts a cat, Ronald. What do you expect?

-lts in his nature. -A cat? ls that what they told you?

-Looks like a pig with hair. -That’s rich…

…coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush.

Crookshanks, just ignore the mean little boy.

Harry.

Harry.

-Egypt. What’s it like? -Brilliant. Loads of old stuff…

…like mummies, tombs, even Scabbers enjoyed himself.

-Egyptians used to worship cats. -Along with the dung beetle.

-Not flashing that clipping again? -l haven’t shown anyone.

No, not a soul. Not unless you count Tom.

-The day maid. -Night maid.

-Cook. -The bloke who fixed the toilet.

-Harry. -Mrs. Weasley.

-Good to see you, dear. -Good to see you.

-Got everything? -Yes.

-Yes? All your books? -lt’s all upstairs.

-Your clothes? -Everything.

-Good boy. -Thank you.

-Harry Potter. -Mr. Weasley.

-Harry, wonder if l might have a word? -Yeah, sure.

-Hermione. -Good morning, Mr. Weasley.

-Looking forward to a new term? -Yeah, lt should be great.

Harry, some within the Ministry would strongly discourage me…

…from divulging what l’m about to reveal to you.

But l think that you need to know the facts.

You are in danger.

Grave danger.

Has this anything to do with Sirius Black, sir?

What do you know about Sirius Black, Harry?

-Only that he’s escaped from Azkaban. -Do you know why?

Thirteen years ago, when you stopped….

-Voldemort. -Don’t say his name.

Sorry.

When you stopped You-Know-Who…

…Black lost everything.

But to this day, he still remains a faithful servant.

And in his mind…

…you are the only thing that stands in the way…

…of You-Know-Who returning to power.

And that is why…

…he has escaped from Azkaban.

To find you.

And kill me.

Harry, swear to me that whatever you might hear…

…you wont go looking for Black.

Mr. Weasley…

…why would l go looking for someone who wants to kill me?

Quick. Quick.

Ron, Ron!

Oh, for goodness sake!

Don’t lose him!

l didn’t mean to blow her up. l just–

-l lost control. -Brilliant.

Honestly, Ron, its not funny. Harry was lucky not to be expelled.

l was lucky not to be arrested.

l still think it was brilliant.

Come on. Everywhere else is full.

Who do you think that is?

-Professor R.J. Lupin. -Do you know everything?

How is it she knows everything?

-lt’s on his suitcase, Ronald. -Oh.

-Do you think he’s really asleep? -Seems to be. Why?

l gotta tell you something.
