"Dumbledore?" Harry repeated.
Ron, thinking Harry didn't know who Dumbledore was, said, "Don't tell me you don’t know Dumbledore, mate. He’s only the greatest wizard in the world."
"Is that so?" Harry replied absentmindedly.
"Check the back of the card," Ron suggested, pulling it from Harry’s hand. "I'll read it to you."
"Albus Dumbledore, current headmaster of Hog...

“Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?”
Harry looked toward the door, where a red-haired boy with freckles on his face stood nervously.
“No one,” Harry replied.
The boy thanked him, put his luggage away, and sat across from Harry. He looked nonchalant as he gazed out at the scenery, but h...

For some reason, after that night, Dudley became Harry’s follower.
In the month leading up to the start of school, Dudley treated Harry as if he were a completely different person.
Only Harry knew the truth: part of it was that Dudley wa...

"Boy, you'd better keep your word!" Uncle Vernon said, his face full of displeasure.
"Rest assured," Harry replied with a sincere smile.
Considering that the Dursley residence wasn’t very far, Harry and Hagrid opted for the nine-sickle meal on the Knight Bus without bothering to order hot cocoa or grab a towel and toothbrush.
The Knight Bus was incredibly fast, far outpacing any Muggle transportation. Obstacles in its path magically shifted aside, making the journey both safe and full of magical charm.
In less th...
Mr. Ollivander opened his mouth slightly, clearly not expecting Harry to say something like that.
To avoid an awkward silence, Mr. Ollivander decided to change the topic.
"Thank you, Mr. Potter," he said, turning back to the counter. He pulled out a measuring tape and then asked, "Which arm do you usually use for your wand?"
"My right hand, sir," Harry replied, maintaining ...
After leaving Gringotts, Hagrid suggested taking Harry to purchase the items listed in his acceptance letter.
As they passed a sweet shop, Hagrid bought two ice creams and handed Harry one topped with raspberry and chocolate sauce. Eating as they walked, they made their way to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
Madam Malkin was a plump, kind-looking witch with a warm smile. W...
“Yes, I’ve brought it,” Hagrid said, rummaging in his pocket as he spoke.
First, he pulled out two dormice and placed them on the counter, then a puffskein. Finally, after searching for a while, he exhaled in relief.
“Found it.” Hagrid held up a tiny golden key.
The goblin took the key, examined it carefully, and then handed it back to Hagrid.
“Seems to b...
Even after a century, the Leaky Cauldron remained as dirty and cramped as Harry remembered.
As they pushed open the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit them, mixed with the stench of secondhand smoke.
The patrons seemed to recognize Hagrid immediately. Upon seeing his towering figure, several customers at the bar raised their glasses and loudly welcomed him.
"The usual, Hagrid...

However, as he reached this point, he swallowed hard and couldn’t bring himself to say another word.
"Maybe... we could write the name down?" Harry suggested helpfully.
"No, I can’t spell it. Let ...
Hearing Hagrid's words, Harry sharply caught a detail in his speech.
"So... you knew my parents?"
Then he realized it was quite rude to keep someone standing at the door, so he invited, "Sorry, that was impolite of me, Mr. Hagrid. Please come in."
"Oh no, no, I'm far too tall; I wouldn't fit in this house," Hagrid replied, slightly embarrassed. "Besides, I need to take you to ...

"Get up! Get up! Quickly!"
The urgent sound of knocking echoed as Harry Potter groggily opened his eyes.
He instinctively reached under his pillow for his wand but grasped at nothing.
His green eyes narrowed, and as he raised his arm, he noticed it had grown weak and frail.
What’s going on?
His heart sank as he looked around and realized he was in a cramped and n...
