Vernon: Who's there? Ahh!
Hagrid: Sorry 'bout that.
Vernon: I demand that you leave at once, sir! You are

Hagrid:
Dry upFerme-la
, Dursley, you great prune. Boy, I haven't seen you since you was a baby, Harry, but you're a bit more along than I would have expected. Particularly 'round the middle!
Dudley: I-I-I'm not Harry.
Harry: I-I am.
Hagrid: Oh, well, of course you are! Got something for ya. 'Fraid I might have sat on it at some point! I imagine that it'll taste fine just the same. Ahh. Baked it myself. Words and all. Heh.
Harry: Thank you!
Hagrid: It's not every day that your young man turns eleven, now is it?

Harry: Excuse me, who are you?

Hagrid: Rubeus Hagrid. Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts. Of course, you'll know all about Hogwarts.
Harry: Sorry, no.
Hagrid: No?
BlimeyÇa alors !
Harry, didn't you ever

where your mum and dad learned it all?
Harry: Learned what?
Hagrid: You're a wizard, Harry.
Harry: I-I'm a what?
Hagrid: A wizard. And a thumping good one at that,
I'd wagerje parierais
. Once you train up a little.
Harry: No, you've made a mistake, I mean. I can't be...a-a wizard. I mean, I'm just... Harry. Just Harry.
Hagrid: Well, just Harry. Did you ever make anything happen? Anything you couldn't explain when you were angry or scared? Ah.
Harry: Dear, Mr. Potter. We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts' School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Vernon: He'll not be going! We swore when we took him in, we’d put a stop to this

!
Harry: You knew? You knew all along and you never told me?

Petunia: Of course we knew. How could you not be? My perfect sister being who she was. Oh, my mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter. We have a witch in the family. Isn't it wonderful? I was the only one to see her for what she was. A freak! And then she met that Potter, and then she had you, and I knew you'd be just the same, just as strange, just as ... abnormal. And then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up.
And we got landed with youEt tu as atterri chez nous

Harry: Blown up? You told me my parents died in a car crash!
Hagrid: A car crash? A car crash kill James and Lily Potter?
Petunia: We had to tell him something.
Hagrid: It's an outrage! It's a scandal!

Vernon: He'll not be going!
Hagrid: Oh, and I suppose a great Muggle like yourself's going to stop him, are you?
Harry: Muggle?
Hagrid: Non magic folk. This boy's had his name down ever since he was born! He's going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, and he'll be under the finest headmaster that Hogwarts has ever seen: Albus Dumbledore.
Vernon: I will not pay for some
crackpotcinglé
old fool to teach him magic tricks!
[Hagrid points his umbrella at Vernon.]
Hagrid: Never, insult Albus Dumbledore, in front of me.
Dudley: Ahh!

Hagrid: Oh, um, I'd appreciate if you didn't tell anyone at Hogwarts about that. Strictly speaking, I'm not allowed to do magic.
Harry : OK.
