Thanks to all these students for their hard work.

EXT. STREET
Dumbledore is extinguishing the street lights.  He sees Professor McGonagall disguised
as a cat.

DUMBLEDORE
I should've known that you would
be here, Professor McGonagall.

MCGONAGALL
Good evening, Professor Dumbledore.
Are the rumors true, Albus?

DUMBLEDORE
I'm afraid so, professor.
The good and the bad.

MCGONAGALL
And the boy?

DUMBLEDORE
Hagrid is bringing him.

MCGONAGALL
Is it wise to trust Hagrid
with something so important?

DUMBLEDORE
Professor, I would trust Hagrid
with my life.

Hagrid flies down on a motorcycle.  He is holding Harry Potter as a baby.

HAGRID
Professor Dumbledore, sir. Professor McGonagall.

DUMBLEDORE
No problems, I trust, Hagrid?

HAGRID
No, sir.  Little tyke fell asleep as we were flying over Bristol.
Try not to wake him.

Hagrid hands Harry Potter to Dumbledore.

HAGRID
There you go.




MCGONAGALL
Do you really think it's safe,
leaving him with these people?
I've watched them all day.
They're the worst sort of Muggles.
They really are...

DUMBLEDORE
The only family he has.

MCGONAGALL
He'll be famous. Every child
in our world will know his name.

DUMBLEDORE
Exactly.
He's far better off growing up
Hagrid starts crying


DUMBLEDORE
There, there, Hagrid.
It's not really goodbye, after all.

Dumbledore puts the baby Harry Potter outside the Dursley’s dooralong with a card
DUMBLEDORE
Good luck...
...Harry Potter.

Time passes.


INT. DURSLEY HOME
Harry is sleeping in a tiny room under the stairs.

AUNT PETUNIA
Up. Get up!
Now!

Dudley is stomping on the stairs above Harry’s room.

DUDLEY
Wake up, cousin!
We're going to the zoo!

Harry enters  the dining room. It's Dudley's birthday.

AUNT PETUNIA
Here he comes, the birthday boy.

UNCLE VERNON
Happy birthday, son.

Aunt Petunia speaks to Harry crossly.

AUNT PETUNIA
Cook breakfast.
And try not to burn anything.

HARRY
Yes, Aunt Petunia.

AUNT PETUNIA
I want everything to be perfect...
...for my Dudley's special day!

UNCLE VERNON
Hurry up! Bring my coffee, boy.

HARRY
Yes, Uncle Vernon.

AUNT PETUNIA
Aren't they wonderful, darling?

Dudley has many presents, but he doesn't seem happy.

DUDLEY
How many are there?

UNCLE VERNON
36. Counted them myself.

DUDLEY
36?! But last year I had 37!

Dudley gets angry.

UNCLE VERNON
But some are bigger than last year's.

DUDLEY
I don't care!

AUNT PETUNIA
This is what we're going to do.
We're going to buy you two
new presents. How's that, pumpkin?

UNCLE VERNON
It should be a lovely day at the zoo.
I'm really looking forward to it.


Uncle Vernon looks at Harry.

UNCLE VERNON
I'm warning you now, boy. Any funny business, any at all...
...and you won't have any meals for a week. Get in.

The family is riding a car.

INT. ZOO
They are looking at a snake.

DUDLEY
Make it move. Move! Move!

HARRY
He's asleep!

DUDLEY
He's boring.

Dudley goes away. Harry talks to the snake

HARRY
Sorry about him. He doesn't understand
what it's like, lying there...
...watching people press
their ugly faces in on you.

The snake looks at Harry with interest.

HARRY
Can you hear me? It's just, I've never talked
to a snake before.

The snake stands up.

HARRY
Do you...? Do you talk to people often?
You're from Burma, aren't you?
Was it nice there?
Do you miss your family?

The snake indicates a sign that says “raised in captivity.”

HARRY
I see. That's me as well.
I never knew my parents either.

Dudley comes. He knocks Harry down.

DUDLEY
Mummy, Dad, you won't believe
what this snake is doing!

The glass around the cage disappears. The snake gets out.

SNAKE
Thanks.

HARRY
Anytime.

The other people in a zoo run away in a panic.

GUEST
Snake!

The glass in the cage reappears, and Dudley is trapped inside.

DUDLEY
Mum! Mummy! Help me!

AUNT PETUNIA
My darling boy! How did you get in there?

UNCLE VERNON
Who did this? How did you get in there? Is there a snake?

Uncle Vernon looks at Harry suspiciously.


INT. DURSLEY HOME
Dudley looks miserable.

AUNT PETUNIA
It's all right, sweetheart.
We'll get you out of these cold clothes.

Uncle Vernon looks at Harry.

UNCLE VERNON
What happened?

HARRY
swear, I don't know! The glass was there
and then it was gone, like magic.

UNCLE VERNON
There's no such thing as magic.

Harry is looking at a letter addressed to him. Dudley takes it away and shows in to his father.

DUDLEY
Dad, look! Harry's got a letter!

HARRY
It's mine!

UNCLE VERNON
Yours? Who'd be writing to you?

Uncle Dursery throws the letter away, but owls keep delivering more letters. He decides to nail his letterbox shut.

UNCLE VERNON
No more mail through this letterbox.

AUNT PETUNIA
Have a lovely day at the office, dear.

An owl is sitting on the car.

UNCLE VERNON
Shoo! Go on. Fine day, Sunday.
In my opinion, best day of the week.
Why is that, Dudley?

HARRY
Because there's no post on Sundays?

UNCLE VERNON
Right you are, Harry!
No post on Sunday.
No blasted letters today! No, sir.
Not one single bloody letter. Not one!
No, sir, not one blasted, miserable...

Letters begin pouring into the house.

DUDLEY
Make it stop, please!

UNCLE VERNON
Stop it!

DUDLEY
Mummy, what's happening?

Harry grabs a letter.

UNCLE VERNON
Give me that! Give me that letter!

HARRY
Get off! They're my letters! Let go of me!

UNCLE VERNON
That's it! We're going away!
Far away, where they can't find us!

DUDLEY
Daddy's gone mad, hasn't he?


INT. CABIN
The Dudleys are in a cabin on a remote island. Harry has made himself a birthday cake.

HARRY
Make a wish, Harry.

Hagrid comes and knocks down the door.

UNCLE DURSERY
Who's there?

HAGRID
Sorry about that.

UNCLE VERNON
I demand that you leave at once. You are breaking and entering.

HAGRID
Dry up, Dursley, you great prune.

Hagrid sees Dudley and mistakes him for Harry.

HAGRID
I haven't seen you since you was a baby, Harry.
You're a bit more along than I expected.
Particularly in the middle.


DUDLEY
I'm not Harry.

HARRY
I am.

HAGRID
Well, of course you are.
Got something for you.

Hagrid hands Harry a box.Harry opens it and there is cake in it.

HAGRID
Afraid I sat on it, but I imagine
it'll taste fine just the same.
Baked it myself, words and all.

HARRY
Thank you.

HAGRID
It's not every day your young man
turns 11, is it?

Hagrid sits down on a chair.He points his umbrella at the fireplace
and the fireplace begins to burn.

HARRY
Excuse me, but who are you?

HAGRID
Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys
and Grounds at Hogwarts.
Of course, you know about Hogwarts.

HARRY
Sorry, no.

HAGRID
Didn't you ever wonder where
your mum and dad learned it all?

HARRY
Learned what?

HAGRID
You're a wizard, Harry.

HARRY
I'm a what?

HAGRID
A wizard.
A good one, I'd wager,
once you're trained up.

HARRY
No, you've made a mistake.
I mean, I can't be a wizard.
I mean, I'm just Harry. Just Harry.

HAGRID
Well, Just Harry, did you ever
make anything happen?
Anything you couldn't explain,
when you were angry or scared?

Harry is handed a letter by Hagrid.
He starts to read it.

HARRY
"Dear Mr. Potter,
We are pleased to accept you
at Hogwarts School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

UNCLE
He will not be going! We swore
we'd put a stop to all this rubbish.

HARRY
You knew? You knew all along
and you never told me?

AUNT
Of course we knew.
How could you not be?
My perfect sister being who she was.
My mother and father were so proud
the day she got her letter.
"We have a witch in the family.
Isn't it wonderful?"
I was the only one to see her
for what she was.
A freak!
Then she met that Potter,
and then she had you
and I knew you would be the same.
Just as strange, just as abnormal.
And then she got herself blown up,
and we got landed with you.

HARRY
Blown up? You told me
my parents died in a car crash.

HAGRID
A car crash? A car crash killed
Lily and James Potter?

UNCLE
We had to say something.

HAGRID
It's an outrage! A scandal!

UNCLE
He'll not be going.

HAGRID
A great Muggle like you
is going to stop him?

HARRY
Muggle?

HAGRID
Non-magic folk. This boy's had
He's going to the finest school
of witchcraft and wizardry.
He'll be under the finest headmaster
Hogwarts has seen, Albus Dumbledore.

UNCLE
I will not pay to have a crackpot
old fool teach him magic tricks.

HAGRID
Never insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me.

Hagrid points his umbrella at Dudley eating cake
and casts a spell. A tail grows from Dudley's bottom.

HAGRID
I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell
anyone at Hogwarts about that.
I'm not allowed to do magic.

HARRY
Okay.

HAGRID
We're a bit behind schedule.
Best be off.

Hagrid opens the door.

HAGRID
Unless you'd rather stay, of course.

Hagrid goes out. Harry follows Hagrid.


INT. LONDON

Hagrid and Harry are walking on the street.
And Harry is reading a paper.

HARRY
"All students must be equipped with
one standard size 2
pewter cauldron and may bring, if they desire,
either an owl, a cat or a toad."
Can we find all this in London?

HAGRID
If you know where to go.

They enter a pub. A owner speaks to Hagrid.

OWNER
Ah, Hagrid! The usual, I presume?

HAGRID
No, thanks, Tom.
I'm on official Hogwarts business.
Just helping Harry buy
his school supplies.

OWNER
Bless my soul.
It's Harry Potter!

A MAN
Welcome back, Mr. Potter.
Welcome back.

A WOMAN
Doris Crockford. I can't believe
I'm meeting you at last.

QUIRRELL
Harry Potter. Can't tell you
how pleased I am to meet you.

HAGRID
Hello, professor. I didn't see you.

Hagrid speaks to Harry.

HAGRID
Professor Quirrell will be your
Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

HARRY
Oh, nice to meet you.

QUIRREL
Fearfully fascinating subject.
Not that you need it, eh, Potter?

HAGRRID
Yes, well, must be going now.
Lots to buy.

QUIRREL
Goodbye.

Hagrid and Harry go to the back garden of this pub.
There is a brick wall.

HAGRID
See, Harry? You're famous.

HARRY
But why am I famous?
All those people,
how is it they know who I am?

HAGRID
I'm not sure I'm the right person
to tell you that.

Hagrid taps the wall.
After that, the bricks move and make a hole.
Hagrid and Harry pass through the hole.

EXT. DIAGON ALLEY

HAGRID
Welcome, Harry, to Diagon Alley.

They start walking along the alley.

HAGRID
Here, you get your quills and ink.

HAGRID
Over there, all your bits and bobs
for doing wizardry.

HAGRID
It's a world-class racing broom.

There are boys in front of a broom shop.

BOY
Look at it! The new Nimbus 2000!

ANOTHER BOY
It's the fastest model yet.

HARRY
But how am I to pay for all this?
I haven't any money.

They arrive at a bank.

HAGRID
There's your money.
Gringotts, the wizard bank.

They enter the bank.

HAGRID
Ain't no safer place, not one.
Except perhaps Hogwarts.

HARRY
Hagrid, what exactly
are these things?

HAGRID
They're goblins. Clever as they come,
but not the most friendly of beasts.
Best stay close.

Hagrid speaks to a goblin.


HAGRID
Mr. Harry Potter wishes
to make a withdrawal.

GOBLIN
And does Mr. Harry Potter
have his key?

HAGRID
Wait a minute.
Got it here somewhere.

Hagrid searches his pockets.

HAGRID
Ha! There's the little devil.
And there's something else as well.
Professor Dumbledore gave me this.
It's about You-Know-What
in vault you-know-which.

Hagrid gives Goblin a letter.

GOBLIN
Very well.

They go to Harry's bank by a truck.

GOBLIN
Vault 687.
Lamp, please.

Goblin has a lamp and goes to Harry`s bank.

GOBLIN
Key, please.

Goblin opens a bank with the key.
There is a lot of gold in it.

HAGRID
Did you think your parents
would leave you with nothing?

GOBLIN
Vault 713.

HARRY
What's in there, Hagrid?

HAGRID
Can't tell you. Hogwarts business. Very secret.

GOBLIN
Stand back.

Goblin opens a door.
There is a bag and Hagrid takes it.

HAGRID
Best not to mention this to anyone.

EXT.STREET

HARRY
I still need a wand.

HAGRID
You want Ollivanders.
There ain't no place better.
Run along there and wait.
I got one more thing to do.

They enter the shop.
There is nobody there.

HARRY
Hello?
Hello?

Ollivander comes up from the back room.

OLLIVANDER
I wondered when
I'd be seeing you, Mr. Potter.
It seems only yesterday...
...that your mother and father were

Ollivander finds a wand for Harry.

OLLIVANDER
in here buying their first wands.
Here we are.
Give it a wave.

Harry waves a magic wand.
As a result, many books fly away.

OLLIVANDER
Apparently not. Perhaps...this.

Harry waves a magic wand again.
As a result, the panes of the shop are broken.

OLLIVANDER
No, no, definitely not.
No matter.

Ollivander takes out a magic wand again.

OLLIVANDER
I wonder...

Harry radiates light.

OLLIVANDER
Curious. Very curious.

HARRY
Sorry, but what's curious?

OLLIVANDER
I remember every wand
I've ever sold, Mr. Potter.
It so happens that the phoenix...
...whose tail feather resides
in your wand, gave another feather.
Just one other.
It is curious that you should
be destined for this wand...
...when its brother
gave you that scar.

HARRY
And who owned that wand?

OLLIVANDER
We do not speak his name. The wand chooses
the wizard, Mr. Potter. It's not always clear why.
 But I think it is clear......that we can expect
great things from you.
After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named...did great things.
Terrible...yes, but great.

Ollivander gives Harry the wand.

HAGRID
Harry! Harry!
Happy birthday.

Hagrid brings an owl.

HAGRID
You all right, Harry?
You seem very quiet.

HARRY
He killed my parents, didn't he?
The one who gave me this.
You know, Hagrid. I know you do.

HAGRID
First, and understand this
because it's very important:
Not all wizards are good.
Some of them go bad.
A few years ago...
...there was a wizard who went as bad
as you can go. His name was V...
His name was V...

HARRY
Maybe if you wrote it down?

HAGRID
No, I can't spell it.
All right, Voldemort.

HARRY
Voldemort?

HAGRID
It was dark times, Harry. Voldemort started to gather some
followers. Brought them over to the Dark Side.
Anyone that stood up to him ended up dead.
Your parents fought against him. But nobody lived
once he decided to kill them. Nobody, not one.
Except you.

The scene goes back to reality from Hagrid's recollection.

HARRY
Me? Voldemort tried to kill me?

HAGRID
Yes. That ain't no ordinary cut on your forehead, Harry.
A mark like that only comes from being
touched by a curse, an evil curse.

HARRY
What happened to V...? To You-Know-Who?

HAGRID
Well, some say he died. Codswallop, in my opinion.
Nope, I reckon he's out there still... ...too tired to carry on.
But one thing's certain. Something about you stumped him
that night. That's why you're famous. That's why everybody
knows your name. You're the boy who lived.

Questions

1.  Why does Dumbledore leave Harry with the Dursleys?
2.  How do the Dursleys treat Harry?
3.  What happened to Harry's parents?
