[English]

It's not much

but it's home.

I think it's brilliant.

Where have you been?

Harry.

How wonderful to see you, dear.

Beds empty. No note.

Car gone.

You could have died!

You could have been seen!

Of course, I don't blame you, Harry dear.

They were starving him, Mum.

There were bars on his window.

Well, you best hope

I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley.

Come on, Harry.

Time for a spot of breakfast.

[Molly] Here we are, Harry.

Now, tuck in.

That's it.

There we go.

Um, Mummy, have you seen my jumper?

Yes, dear. It was on the cat.

Hello.

What did I do?

Ginny.

She's been talking about you all summer.

Dead annoying really.

Morning, Weasleys.

[Molly] Morning, Arthur. [Ron] Morning, Dad.

What a night.

Nine raids.

Nine!

Raids?

Dad works in the Ministry of Magic.

In the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office.

Dad loves Muggles,

thinks they're fascinating.

Well now.

And who are you?

Oh, sorry, sir.

I'm Harry, sir.

Harry Potter.

Good Lord.

Are you really?

Well,

Ron's told us all about you, of course.

When did he get here?

This morning.

Your sons flew that enchanted car of yours

to Surrey and back last night.

Did you really?

How'd it go?

Oh, Dad, absolutely —

I mean,

that was very wrong indeed, boys.

Very wrong of you.

Now, Harry.

You must know all about Muggles.

Tell me,

what exactly

is the function of a rubber duck?

Oh.

Um...

Oh, that'll be Errol with the post.

Oh, fetch it will you, Percy, please?

Errol.

[Ron] He's always doing that.

Oh, look. It's our Hogwarts letters.

Oh.

And they've sent us Harry's as well.

Dumbledore must know you're here, Harry.

Doesn't miss a trick that man.

[Molly] Oh, no.

This lot won't come cheap, Mum.

The spellbooks alone are very expensive.

We'll manage.

There's only one place we're gonna get all of this.

Diagon Alley.

Gryffindors, follow me, please.

Keep up. Thank you.

Ravenclaw, follow me.

This way.

This is the most direct path to the dormitories.

Oh, and keep an eye on the staircases.

They like to change.

Keep up, please. And follow me.

Quickly now, come on.

Come on.

That picture's moving.

Look at that one, Harry.

Oh, look! Look!

Who's that girl?

[Painting] Welcome to Hogwarts.

Who's that?

Password?

Caput Draconis.

Wow!

Follow me, everyone.

Keep up.

Quickly, come on!

Gather round here.

Welcome to the Gryffindor common room.

Boys dormitories upstairs

and down to your left.

Girls, the same on your right.

You'll find all your belongings

have already been brought up.

Harry, wake up!

Come on, Harry! Wake up!

Happy Christmas, Harry.

Happy Christmas, Ron.

What are you wearing?

Oh, my mum made it.

Looks like you've got one too.

I've got presents?

Yeah!

There they are.

"Your father left this in my possession

before he died.

It is time it was returned to you.

Use it well."

What is it?

Some kind of cloak.

Well, let's see then. Put it on.

Whoa!

My body's gone!

I know what that is.

That's an Invisibility Cloak!

I'm invisible?

They're really rare.

Wonder who gave it to you.

There was no name.

It just said,

"Use it well."

Your attention please.

Let the feast begin.

Wow.

I'm half and half.

Me dad's a Muggle.

Mam's a witch.

Bit of a nasty shock for him

when he found out.

Say, Percy?

Who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?

Oh, that's Professor Snape.

Head of Slytherin house.

What's he teach?

Potions.

But everyone knows

it's the Dark Arts he fancies.

He's been after Quirrell's job for years.

Ah!

Hello!

How are you?

Welcome to Gryffindor.

Look, it's the Bloody Baron!

Hello, Sir Nicholas.

Have a nice summer?

Dismal.

Once again, my request

to join the Headless Hunt has been denied.

I know you.

You're Nearly Headless Nick.

I prefer Sir Nicholas, if you don't mind.

"Nearly Headless?"

How can you be nearly headless?

Like this.

Ah!

[Ron] Oh, green. That's a monkey.

[Seamus making monkey noises]

[Ron] What is that?

[Monkey noises]

Do not give him one again.

Hey, Neville, try an elephant.

[Elephant noises]

Ron, catch.

Oh, yeah.

[Lion noises]

Oh, don't try one of them!

Oh, no!

Ah, look at this!

[Whistling] [Ron] Look at his face!

Heavens you're all right.

Bit peaky.

But I'm afraid dinner will have to wait

until after the meeting's finished.

[Harry] About that— [Molly] No.

No time to explain.

Straight upstairs, first door on the left.

Yeah.

[Kreacher] Mudbloods, werewolves,

traitors and thieves.

If my poor mistress knew the scum

they've let into her house,

what would she say to old Kreacher?

Oh, the shame.

[Portrait] Freaks.

[Kreacher] There, there, mistress.

[Portrait] Scum of the Earth.

Not like it was in the days of my...

[Kreacher] Kreacher is here.

Oh, Harry!

Are you all right?

We overheard them talking about

the Dementor attack.

You must tell us everything.

Let the man breathe, Hermione.

And this hearing at the Ministry,

it's just outrageous.

I've looked it up, they simply can't expel you.

It's completely unfair.

Yeah.

There's a lot of that going around at the moment.

So, what is this place?

It's headquarters.

For the Order of the Phoenix.

It's a secret society.

Dumbledore formed it back

when they first fought You Know Who.

You couldn't have put any of this

in a letter, I suppose.

I've gone all summer without a scrap of news.

We wanted to write, mate.

Really, we did.

Only —

Only what?

Only Dumbledore made us swear

not to tell you anything.

Dumbledore said that?

But why would he wanna keep me in the dark?

Maybe I could help?

After all, I'm the one who saw Voldemort return.

I'm the one who fought him.

I'm the one who saw Cedric Diggory get killed.

Harry!

Thought we heard your dulcet tones.

Don't bottle it up though, mate.

Let it out.

Anyway, if you're all done shouting —

Do you wanna hear something a little more interesting?

[Sirius] If anyone has a right to know,

it's Harry.

If it wasn't for Harry,

we wouldn't even know Voldemort was back.

He's not a child, Molly.

[Molly] He's not an adult, either.

He's not James, Sirius.

[Sirius] He's not your son.

[Molly] He's as good as.

Who else has he got?

Hey, Ginny.

[Sirius] He's got me.

[Snape] How touchingly paternal, Black.

Perhaps Potter will grow up to be a felon,

just like his godfather.

[Sirius] You stay out of this, Snivellus.

I don't care —

Snape's part of the Order?

Git.

— what Dumbledore says about your supposed

reformation, I know better.

[Snape] Well, why don't you tell him.

Or are you afraid

he might not take seriously a man —

Crookshanks!

— that's been hiding inside his mother's house?

Leave it alone!

Hermione, I hate your cat.

Bad Crookshanks!

Well.

We'll be eating down in the kitchen.

Oh!

Just because you're allowed to use magic now,

does not mean you have to

whip your wands out for everything!

[Ginny] Hi, Mum.

You hungry, Harry?

You sure you're all right, Harry?

You gave us quite a turn.

[Sirius] Harry Potter.

Sirius!

Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas.

Ho, ho, ho.

[Molly] Here we go.

Daddy's back.

Sit down, everybody.

Sit down.

That's it.

Now, presents!

[Arthur] And a nice big box for Ron.

[Molly] Big box for you. And, um ...

Oh, Fred and George.

Come on, open up.

I want to see your faces.

[Arthur] Yes.

[Molly] Try it on.

[Ginny] Thanks, Mum. It's perfect.

Just what he wanted, actually.

Thanks, Mum.

Thanks, Mum, it's wicked.

[Molly] Come on then, everybody.

Let's clear this away.

Ooh! Harry. Harry.

There you are.

Happy Christmas.

Thank you!

Lovely to have you with us.

Thank you.

[Molly] Now, Daddy.

Pass that to Daddy.

[Arthur] Thank you.

[Molly] Is everybody good?

[Arthur] Toast!

[Molly] Fred, George?

Hermione, make sure your mug is —

[Arthur] A Christmas toast!

To Mr Harry Potter.

Without whom,

I would not be here.

Harry.

[All] Harry.

Harry.

Ah.

Home sweet home.

[Harry] What?

[Arthur] Ah.

Excellent, excellent!

[Arthur] All to the bath.

Girls, choose a bunk and unpack.

[Arthur] Ron, get out of the kitchen.

We're all hungry!

[Fred and George] Yeah, get out of the kitchen, Ron.

[Arthur] Feet off the table!

[Fred and George] Feet off the table.

I love magic.

Mum!

Ginny?

What is it?

I was only wondering

when Harry got here.

What?

Harry? Harry who?

Harry Potter, of course.

I think I'd know if

Harry Potter was in my house,

wouldn't I?

Well, his trunk's in the kitchen.

And his owl.

Well, no, dear.

I seriously doubt that.

Harry?

Did someone say Harry?

Me, nosy.

Is he up there with you?

Course not.

I think I'd know if my best friend

was in my room, wouldn't I?

Is that an owl I heard?

You haven't seen him, have you?

Apparently he's wandering about the house.

Really?

Really.

Harry!

Harry!

Hello.

What a lovely surprise!

Why didn't you let us know you were coming?

I didn't know.

Dumbledore.

Oh, that man.

But then, what would we do without him?

Got a bit of toothpaste.

So, when did you get here?

A few days ago.

Though for a while, I wasn't sure I was coming.

Mum sort of lost it last week.

Said Ginny and I had no business

going back to Hogwarts.

That it's too dangerous.

Oh, come on.

She's not alone.

Even my parents, and they're Muggles,

know something bad's happening.

Anyway.

Dad stepped in,

told her she was being barmy and...

It took a few days, but she came around.

But...

This is Hogwarts we're talking about.

It's Dumbledore, what could be safer?

There's been a lot of talk recently that...

Dumbledore's got a bit old.

Rubbish!

He's only —

What is he?

150.

Give or take a few years.

[Lupin] Voldemort has chosen

Draco Malfoy for a mission.

I know it sounds mad.

Has it occurred to you, Harry,

that Snape was simply pretending

to offer Draco help so he could

find out what he was up to?

[Molly] Ginny?

That's not what it sounded like.

Perhaps Harry's right, Remus.

I mean, to make an Unbreakable Vow—

It comes down to whether or not

you trust Dumbledore's judgement.

Dumbledore trusts Snape, therefore I do.

Dumbledore can make mistakes,

he said so himself —

You're blinded by hatred!

I'm not.

Yes, you are.

People are disappearing, Harry.

Daily.

We can only place our trust

in a handful of people.

If we start fighting amongst ourselves,

we're doomed.

[Molly] Ginny!

Open up, you.

Don't you trust me?

It's good.

Yeah, I'll just, uh, get in here.

Pie?

Not for me, no.

Mm.

Bag?

Yeah.

Jumper?

Come here.

We'll miss you.

[Ron] Here they come.

Dad,

what if I am put in Slytherin?

Albus Severus Potter.

You were named after two

headmasters of Hogwarts,

and one of them was a Slytherin.

And he was

the bravest man I've ever known.

But just say that I am.

Then Slytherin house

will have gained a wonderful young wizard.

But listen,

if it really means that much to you,

you can choose Gryffindor.

The Sorting Hat takes

your choice into account.

Really?

Really.

[Conductor] All aboard!

Ready?

Ready.

Sorry I'm late.

The owl that delivered my release papers

got all lost and confused.

Some ruddy bird called Errol.

Well, I'd just like to say that, uh,

if it hadn't been for you, Harry,

and Ron,

and Hermione, of course.

I would, uh...

I'd still be you-know-where.

So, I'd just like to say,

thanks!

There's no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid.

[Applause and cheering]
