MRS. WEASLEY:
Right. Here we are Harry, you go first dear.

RON:
But Harry’s never traveled by Floo powder before, Mum.

HARRY:
Floo powder?

MRS. WEASLEY:
Oh, well you go first Ron, so that Harry can see how it’s done.

Yes. In you go... That’s it.

RON:
Diagon Alley!

MRS. WEASLEY:
You see? It’s quite easy, dear. Don’t be afraid. Come on. Come

on. In you go. That’s it, mind your head. That’s right. Now take your Floo

powder. That’s it, very good. Now, don’t forget to speak very, very clearly.

HARRY:
‘Diaganilly.’

MRS. WEASLEY:
What did he say, dear?

ARTHUR WEASLEY:
‘Diaganilly.’

MRS. WEASLEY:
I thought he did.

Not lost are you, my dear?

OTHER:
Come with us. We’ll help you find your way back.

HARRY:
No! Please!

HAGRID:
Harry?

HARRY:
Hagrid!

HAGRID:
What do you think you’re doing down ‘ere? Come on!

LOCATION:
Diagon Alley - daytime

HAGRID:
Yer a mess, Harry. Skulkin’ ‘round Knockturn Alley? Dodgy place! Don’

want no one ter see you there. People’ll think you were up to no good.

HARRY:
I was lost, I— hang on. What were you doing down there, then?

HAGRID:
Me? Oh, I was... um... I was lookin’ for Flesh-Eatin’ Slug Repellent.

They’re ruinin’ all the school cabbages.

HERMIONE:
Harry! Hagrid!

HAGRID:
Hello, Hermione!

HERMIONE:
Oh, it’s so good to see you!

HARRY:
Well, it’s great to see you, too!

HERMIONE:
What did you do to your glasses? Oculus reparo.

HARRY:
I definitely need to remember that one.

HAGRID:
You’ll be all right now then, Harry? Right. I’ll leave you to it,

then.

HERMIONE:
Ok! Bye!

HARRY:
Thank you. Bye.

HERMIONE:
Come on! Everyone’s been so worried.

Scene 6:
Flourish and Blotts.

LOCATION:
Diagon Alley – Flourish and Blotts - daytime

OTHER:
Harry... Harry Potter...

MRS. WEASLEY:
Oh, Harry! Thank goodness! We’d hoped you’d only gone one grate

too far...

OTHER:
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart.

MRS. WEASLEY:
Ah! Here he is!

RON:
Mum fancies him.

PHOTOGRAPHER:
Make way there. Please! Let me by, madam. Thank you. Excuse me,

little girl. This is for the Daily Prophet.

PROFESSOR LOCKHART: It can’t be- Harry Potter?

PHOTOGRAPHER:
Harry Potter! Excuse me, madam.

PROFESSOR LOCKHART: Nice big smile, Harry. Together you and I rate the front

page! Ladies and gentlemen, what an extraordinary moment this is. When young

Harry stepped into Flourish and Blotts this morning to purchase my

autobiography, Magical Me,... which, incidentally is currently celebrating

its 27th week atop the Daily Prophet bestseller list, he had no idea that he

would, in fact, be leaving... with my entire collected works, free of charge.

Now, ladies?

MRS. WEASLEY:
Harry, now you give me those, and I’ll get them signed. All of

you wait outside. That’s it, Ron.

DRACO:
I’ll bet you loved that, didn’t you, Potter? Famous Harry Potter!

Can’t even go into a bookshop without making the front page.

GINNY:
Leave him alone.

DRACO:
Oh look, Potter. You’ve got yourself a girlfriend.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Now, now Draco, play nicely. Mr. Potter... Lucius Malfoy. We

meet at last. Forgive me, your scar is legend, as, of course, is the wizard

who gave it to you.

HARRY:
Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murderer.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Hmm. You must be very brave, to mention his name...or very

foolish.

HERMIONE:
Fear of a name only increase fear of the thing itself.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
And you must be... Miss Granger. Yes, Draco’s told me all

about you, and your parents. Muggles, aren’t they? Let me see...red hair...

vacant expressions... tatty second hand book. You must be the Weasleys.

ARTHUR WEASLEY:
Children, it’s mad in here! Let’s go outside.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Well, well, well. Weasley senior.

ARTHUR WEASLEY:
Lucius.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Busy time at the Ministry, Arthur, all those extra raids? I do

hope they’re paying you overtime, but judging by the state of this, I’d say

not. What’s the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don’t

even pay you well for it.

ARTHUR WEASLEY:
We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name

of wizard, Malfoy.

LUCIUS MALFOY:
Clearly. Associating with Muggles... and I thought your family

could sink no lower. I’ll see you at work.

DRACO:
See you at school.

HARRY:
Aah!

RON:
Whao!

STATION GUARD:
Oy! What do you two think you’re doing?

HARRY:
Sorry. Lost- lost control of the trolley. Why can’t we get through?

RON:
I don’t know. The gateway’s sealed its self for some reason.

HARRY:
The train leaves at exactly eleven o’clock. We’ve missed it!

RON:
Harry, if we can’t get through, maybe Mum and Dad can’t get back!

HARRY:
Maybe we should just go and wait by the car.

RON:
The car...
