Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Page #3

Synopsis: This is the tale of Harry Potter, an ordinary 11-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Hagrid, the grounds keeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer. Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.

I wonder...

Curious.

Very curious.

Sorry, but what's curious?

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.

And who owned that wand?

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.

Harry! Harry!

Happy birthday.

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

He killed my parents, didn't he?|The one who gave me this.

You know, Hagrid. I know you do.

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...|- Maybe if you wrote it down?

No, I can't spell it.

- All right, Voldemort.|- Voldemort?

It was dark times, Harry.

to gather some followers.

Brought them over to the Dark Side.

ended up dead.

Your parents fought against him.

he decided to kill them.

Nobody, not one.

Except you.

Me? Voldemort tried to kill me?

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.

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

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.

What are you looking at?

Blimey, is that the time?

I'm gonna have to leave you.|Dumbledore will be wanting his...

Well, he'll be wanting to see me.|Your train leaves in 10 minutes.

Here's your ticket. Stick to your ticket,|that's very important.

"Platform 9 3/4?"

But, Hagrid, there must be a mistake.|This says platform 9 3/4.

There's no such thing, is there?

Sorry.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

On your left.

Can you tell me where|I might find platform 9 3/4?

Think you're being funny, do you?

It's the same every year,|packed with Muggles.

- Muggles?|- Platform 9 3/4, this way.

All right, Percy, you first.

Fred, you next.

- He's not Fred, I am.|- You call yourself our mother?

I'm sorry, George.

I'm only joking. I am Fred.

Excuse me.

Could you tell me how to...?

How to get onto the platform?|Not to worry, dear.

It's Ron's first time|to Hogwarts as well.
