Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Page #5

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...

Inner Eye to see the future."

That's it. Come on, now. Come closer.

Less talking, if you don't mind.

I got a real treat for you today.

A great lesson. So follow me.

Right, you lot. Less chattering.

Form a group over there.

And open your books to page 49.

Exactly how do we do that?

Just stroke the spine, of course.

Goodness me.

- Don't be such a wimp, Longbottom.

- I'm okay. Okay.

- I think they're funny.

- Oh, yeah. Terribly funny.

Witty. God, this place

has gone to the dogs.

Wait until Father hears Dumbledore's

got this oaf teaching classes.

Shut up, Malfoy.

Dementor! Dementor!

- Just ignore him.

- You're supposed to stroke it.

Yeah.

Isn't he beautiful?

Say hello to Buckbeak.

Hagrid, exactly what is that?

That, Ron, is a hippogriff.

First thing you wanna know

is they're very proud creatures.

Very easily offended.

You do not want to insult a hippogriff.

It may be the last thing you ever do.

Now, who'd like to come

and say hello?

Well done, Harry. Well done.

Come on now.

Now...

...you have to let him make the first

move. It's only polite. So...

...step up. Give him a nice bow.

Then you wait

and see if he bows back.

If he does, you can go and touch him.

If not... Well,

we'll get to that later.

Just make your bow.

Nice and low.

Back off, Harry. Back off.

Keep still.

Keep still.

Well done, Harry. Well done.

Here, you big brute, you.

Right. I think you can go

and pat him now.

Go on. Don't be shy.

Nice and slow, now.

Nice and slow. Slow.

Not so fast, Harry.

Slow down, Harry. That's it...

Nice and slow.

Now let him come to you.

Slowly, now, slowly, slowly...

That's it...

Yes!

Well done! Well done, Harry,

well done!

Does he get to fly?

- I think he may let you ride him now.

- What?

- Come on.

- Hey, hey, hey!

Put you over here,

just behind the wing joint.

Don't pull out any of his feathers,

because he won't thank you for that.

Well done, Harry, and well done,

Buckbeak.

That was wicked, Harry!

Oh, please.

Well done, well done.

- How am I doing me first day?

- Brilliant, professor.

You're not dangerous at all, are you,

you great ugly brute!

Malfoy, no...

No!

Buckbeak!

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Whoa! Buckbeak!

Away, you silly creature...

- It's killed me!

- Calm down. It's just a scratch!

Hagrid!

- He has to be taken to the hospital.

- I'm the teacher. I'll do it.

- You're gonna regret this.

- Class dismissed!

You and your bloody chicken!

Does it hurt terribly, Draco?

It comes and it goes.

Still, I consider myself lucky.

Madam Pomfrey said another minute

and I could've lost my arm.

- I can't do homework for weeks.

- Listen to the idiot.

- He's really laying it on thick, isn't he?
