Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Page #2

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

Never insult Albus Dumbledore...

...in front of me.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell|anyone at Hogwarts about that.

- I'm not allowed to do magic.|- Okay.

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

Unless you'd rather stay, of course.

"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?

If you know where to go.

Ah, Hagrid! The usual, I presume?

No, thanks, Tom.|I'm on official Hogwarts business.

Just helping Harry buy|his school supplies.

Bless my soul.|It's Harry Potter!

Welcome back, Mr. Potter.|Welcome back.

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

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

Hello, professor. I didn't see you.

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

Oh, nice to meet you.

Fearfully fascinating subject.

Not that you need it, eh, Potter?

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

Goodbye.

- See, Harry? You're famous.|- But why am I famous?

All those people,|how is it they know who I am?

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

Welcome, Harry, to Diagon Alley.

Here, you get your quills and ink.

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

It's a world-class racing broom.

Look at it! The new Nimbus 2000!

It's the fastest model yet.

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

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

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

Hagrid, what exactly|are these things?

They're goblins. Clever as they come,|but not the most friendly of beasts.

Best stay close.

Mr. Harry Potter wishes|to make a withdrawal.

And does Mr. Harry Potter|have his key?

Wait a minute.|Got it here somewhere.

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.

Very well.

Vault 687.

Lamp, please.

Key, please.

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

- Vault 713.|- What's in there, Hagrid?

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

Stand back.

Best not to mention this to anyone.

I still need a wand.

You want Ollivanders.|There ain't no place better.

Run along there and wait.|I got one more thing to do.

Hello?

Hello?

I wondered when|I'd be seeing you, Mr. Potter.

It seems only yesterday...

...that your mother and father were|in here buying their first wands.

Here we are.

Give it a wave.

Apparently not.

Perhaps...

...this.

No, no, definitely not.|No matter.
