Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Page #4

Synopsis: Harry Potter is having a tough time with his relatives (yet again). He runs away after using magic to inflate Uncle Vernon's sister Marge who was being offensive towards Harry's parents. Initially scared for using magic outside the school, he is pleasantly surprised that he won't be penalized after all. However, he soon learns that a dangerous criminal and Voldemort's trusted aide Sirius Black has escaped from the Azkaban prison and wants to kill Harry to avenge the Dark Lord. To worsen the conditions for Harry, vile creatures called Dementors are appointed to guard the school gates and inexplicably happen to have the most horrible effect on him. Little does Harry know that by the end of this year, many holes in his past (whatever he knows of it) will be filled up and he will have a clearer vision of what the future has in store...

Therefore, I must warn

each and every one of you...

...to give them no reason

to harm you.

It is not in the nature

of a dementor to be forgiving.

But you know,

happiness can be found...

...even in the darkest of times...

...if one only remembers

to turn on the light.

Fortuna Major.

Here, listen.

She just won't let me in.

- Fortuna Major.

- No, no. Wait, wait.

Watch this.

- Amazing. Just with my voice.

- Fortuna Major.

- Yes, all right. Go in.

- Thank you.

Still doing that after three years.

- She can't even sing.

- Exactly.

- Hey, man.

- Hey, man.

- Oh, God.

- That's awful.

Green. That's a monkey.

- What is that?

- You call that a monkey?

Do not give him one again.

Hey, Neville, try an elephant.

- Ron, catch.

- I will.

I think we have a winner.

- Oh, don't try one of them.

- Oh, no.

Look at him. His face.

Welcome, my children.

In this room, you shall explore

the noble art of Divination.

In this room, you shall discover

if you possess the Sight.

Hello. I am Professor Trelawney.

Together we shall cast ourselves

into the future.

This term, we'll focus on Tasseomancy,

the art of reading tea leaves.

So please, take the cup

of the person sitting opposite you.

What do you see?

The truth lies buried like a sentence

deep within a book, waiting to be read.

But first, you must broaden

your minds.

- First, you must look beyond.

- What a load of rubbish.

- Where did you come from?

- Me?

- I've been here all this time.

- You, boy...

Is your grandmother quite well?

I think so.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Give me the cup.

Pity.

Broaden your minds.

Your aura is pulsing, dear.

Are you in the beyond?

- I think you are.

- Sure.

Look at the cup.

Tell me what you see.

Yeah.

Harry's got sort of a wonky cross.

That's trials and suffering.

And that there could be the sun

and that's happiness.

So...

...you're gonna suffer,

but you're gonna be happy about it.

Give me the cup.

Oh, my dear boy.

My dear...

...you have the Grim.

The Grin? What's the Grin?

Not the Grin, you idiot. The Grim.

"Taking form of a giant spectral dog.

It's among the darkest omens

in our world.

It's an omen...

...of death."

You don't think that Grim thing's

got anything to do with Sirius Black?

Oh, honestly, Ron. If you ask me,

Divination's a woolly discipline.

Now, Ancient Runes,

that's a fascinating subject.

Ancient Runes? Exactly how many

classes are you taking?

A fair few.

Hang on. That's not possible.

Ancient Runes is in the

same time as Divination.

You have to be in two

classes at once.

Don't be silly. How could anyone

be in two classes at once?

"Broaden your minds. Use your
