Harry Potter and Articulus Flinch left the Dursleys' Gallery to go to London, where Harry was going to buy the equipment needed for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. “So how are we going to get there?” Harry asked. “I know you're underage,” said Flinch. “But we're going to disapparate from here to the front of the Leaky Cauldron.” “What is 'disapparate'?” “The process itself is called Apparition,” Articulus replied. “It is the wizard's method of teleportation. Extremely dangerous. You won't learn it until you're seventeen years of age, Mr. Potter. We will be doing Side-Along Apparition, which could be used to seek underage wizards or the injured. Now, hold my hand.” Harry held Flinch's hand tightly. This is awkward, …show more content…
Galleons? What Galleons? I don't think I have any! Malfoy paid using them which looked like gold coins. “You're next,” Malkin said to Harry. “Thanks.” “See you Potter,” Malfoy said and they shook hands. “Hope you're in Slytherin.” As Draco Malfoy left the store, Articulus Flinch came in with the books, telescope, and a set of brass scales and crystal phials inside a pewter cauldron in its standard size. “You were fast,” said Harry, impressed. “I forgot about your money,” said Articulus. “At Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Your parents left it all for you, Harry. We will go after you get your wand at Ollivander's.” “Okay,” Harry agreed. Malkin returned with Harry's robes, hat, and winter cloak. She asked for what type of gloves. Harry said he wanted dragon hide; so she got them and handed them to Harry. Flinch paid the seven Galleons for Harry's uniform, which Madam gladly took, though she wondered why Harry didn't have his money with him. Saying good-bye to her, they left the shop to go to Ollivander's. “All right, it's you,” said Flinch. “Ollivander will be more excited to see you than me. Go
Harry is taken away by the way Sally orders. His expression suggested he was mildly annoyed
It is clear that the Harry Potter series has taken a journey on the Hogwarts Express to the road of international success. The “Harry Potter” series is the story of the eponymous boy, orphaned at birth and left in the care of the aunt and uncle along with the ill mannered son who make up the Dursley family who are known as “Muggles” (non-magical people).

“We already have” Sylvester said. He again pointed toward the mop and broom, and they danced their way back to their place on the wall. Pointed at the horn, and it became silent and returned to its place on the wall. Pointing to the spoons, they returned to their place on the table. “We will call this lesson number one,” the wizard said. “But, we will not concern ourselves with dancing mops and brooms, only with getting from here to there, and back,
He was not in Diagon Alley, but Knockturn Alley. He was in an old store, Draco Malfoy and his father came in to sell so stuff. Harry hid just in time, so Draco couldn’t see him. The Malfoys left, Harry got out of the store. The half giant, Hagrid, helped Harry find the Weasleys. They went to the bank, Gringotts, for money to buy their books. Next, they went to Flourish and Blotts, the bookstore, where Gilderoy Lockhart, a famous wizard, was signing books. They got their books and went back to the Burrow. A few days later, they all packed their stuff up and took the flying car to the station. Everyone was through, but Ron and Harry, they ran into it and hit hard, the barrier had closed, they waited for a few minutes and went to the car. Ron decided to fly the car to school. They were landing when they mashed into a tree. The tree started punching the car. The car fell, threw them out and drove off. Ron’s wand broke on the end.
His aunt and uncle utterly despise him and everything he stands for because Harry reminds them of Harry’s parents. Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and discovers that he is a wizard, and that his parents were not killed in a car crash, but by an evil wizard named Lord Voldemort. Harry gets his school supplies from Diagon Alley, a wizarding shopping center, and meets one of his new professors, Professor Quirrell, there. Professor Quirrell is a rather pathetic man who speaks with a stutter and is terrified at the thought of anything vaguely harmful. Harry goes to Hogwarts and gets caught up in many different misadventures.
“I daresay it was an eye-opening introduction, but Minerva will be here any moment, so we’ll wait on her before critiquing your handling of the affair. However, I must confess, countering Severus in front of half the school will ingratiate yourself to Gryffindor, not to mention your three charges.”
The three books by J.K. Rowling, which are at the top of the New York Times best-seller list, chart the course of 11-year-old Harry, who learns of his famous wizard-family past and is invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Soon after entering Hogwarts, Harry must face a road of trials which will eventually lead him to achieve his unlikely treasure. While roaming the halls after curfew, Harry receives detention in the forbidden forest, and comes face to face with the Dark Lord. Other obstacles come to place when Harry travels down the trap door into the chambers; such as devil’s snare, a human wizard’s chess game, and the room of keys (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). The series of tests make Harry’s mission difficult; however, the knowledge he gains from the unsuccessful trials bring him closer to his main goal. These minor bumps in Harry’s journey strengthen him emotionally and physically, readying him to defeat the traitor at the end of his succession of tests. Unexpectedly, the betrayal comes from the quivering Professor Quirrell who voluntarily gives up his body to the Dark Lord. Harry sees himself in the mirror and realizes he is magically in possession of the Sorcerer’s Stone. Shortly
"Well, once the insults and the accusations were out of the way. They pulled him out into the street, beat him, humiliated him. Then his boss came out and poured pig blood and guts over him. Poor Harry has nobody to fall back on. When they told him to leave – exile of all the sickest things – he done so immediately. Apparently they said if he'd ever came back to cause them harm, he'd be strung up – and that was by a police officer."
In the Harry Potter books, a young boy finds out that he is a little bit different than the others around him. On his 11th birthday he receives an acceptance letter from Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry, after a bit of fighting
“Oh, believe me,” Flanagan looked at the door with a wicked smile. “He will get what’s coming.”
Hagrid, keeper of keys at Hogwarts School of Magic, surprises Harry on his birthday. Hagrid delivers the letter to Harry that invites him to study at Hogwarts. After Harry accepted his
Harry repressed a snort with difficulty. The Dursleys really were astonishingly stupid about their son, Dudley; they had swallowed all his dim-witted lies about having tea with a different member of his gang every night of the summer holidays. Harry knew perfectly well that Dudley had not been to tea anywhere; he and his gang spent every evening vandalizing the play park, smoking on street corners, and throwing stones at passing cars and children. Harry had seen them at it during his evening walks around Little Whinging; he had spent most of the holidays wandering the streets, scavenging newspapers from bins along the way.
Harry Potter is living in the ordinary world with his Aunt, Uncle and Cousin who treat him with very little respect. He begins to receive mysterious letters which are addressed explicitly to him. His aunt and
