Watching The Potter Pack

Diagon Alley

[The next day, in the streets of London.]

[Harry and Hagrid are in the underground tube.]

Harry: [reading the list] First year students will require: three sets of work robes, one wand. [He turns to Hagrid]

Hagrid: Essential bit of equipment, Harry.

Harry: One pair of dragon-hide gloves. [he turns to Hagrid again] Hagrid, do they mean for a real dragon?

"What else would it be from Harry? A mermaid?" Cassie teases cousin

"Where are you in this, Cassie?" Rose asked. Sirius looked curious as well.

"I'm a year younger than them so you probably wont see me till the second film, if they go by years" Rose nodded her head. She felt protective of the children but especially Cassie, Jace and Harry. She wanted to know why.

Hagrid: Well, they don't mean for a penguin, do they? Heh. Crikey, but not a dragon.

Harry: But you like a dragon?

Hagrid: Fast and misunderstood beasts, Harry. Fast and misunderstood. [He suddenly eyes a woman and then he nods. The woman returns to reading her paper.]

"Dragons are cool" Jace and Cassie said together. The looked at teach other grinning, sharing a high five. Luna and Ron looked at the two with soft smiles

[The next scene, Hagrid and Harry are walking down the streets.]

Harry: All students must be equipped with...one standard size two pewter cauldron and may bring if they desire either an owl, a cat or a toad. Could we find all this in London?

Hagrid: If you know where to go.

[They walk towards a corner store and as they get closer, the sign above it has "The Leaky Cauldron" magically appearing. They enter the Leaky Cauldron. There was music and several patrons that are speaking to each other.]

Tom: Ah, Hagrid! The usual, I presume?

Hagrid: No thanks, Tom. I'm on official Hogwarts business today. Just helping young Harry here buy his school supplies.

Tom: Bless my soul. It's Harry Potter.

[The pub immediately goes silent and everyone notices.]

"I have never seen the pub so silent" Sirius said in shock

[A man comes up and shakes Harry's hand.]

Man: Welcome back, Mr. Potter, welcome back.

[A witch comes up and shakes Harry's hand, as well.]

Witch: Doris Crockford, Mr. Potter. I can't believe I'm meeting you at last.

[A man in robes with a turban on his head appears. It is Professor Quirrell.]

Quirrell: Harry P-potter. C-can't tell you how pleased I am to meet you.

Hagrid: Hello, Professor. I didn't see you there. Harry, this is Professor Quirrell. He'll be your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.

Harry: Oh, nice to meet you. [puts out his hand, offering a handshake with Quirrell. But he looks at Harry's head and hesitatingly refuses]

Quirrell: F-fearfully fascinating subject. N-not that you need it, e-eh, Potter? Heheh.

"He's the defense against the dark arts teacher" James shouted

"The only defense against the dark arts teacher actually approved by the ministry"

"He looks like he could be knocked over by one tickling charm" Lily added

Hagrid: Yes, well, must be going now. Lots to buy. Heh.

Harry: Goodbye.

[The two leave into a back room winery in front of a brick wall.]

Hagrid: See, Harry, you're famous!

Harry: But why am I famous, Hagrid? All those people back there, how is it they know who I am?

Hagrid: I'm not exactly sure I'm the right person to tell you that, Harry. [Taps the brick wall clockwise with his umbrella. The blocks then magically shift and open up to reveal a hidden, busy street called Diagon Alley.] Welcome, Harry, to Diagon Alley.

Everybody was looking in awe at seeing the alley even though they had seen it before. James and Lily looked sad at the reminder that they should have been there with Harry and Jace at this time.

[Harry grins broadly as they step into the street and walk down it. An owl screeches.] Here's where you'll get your quills and ink, and over there all your bits and bobs for doing your wizardry.

[Harry is amazed as they pass by shops and owls and bats. The camera pans on a broom store, where a group of boys are crowded around a shiny broom.]

Boy: It's a world class racing broom. Look at it, it's the new Nimbus 2000! It's the fastest model yet. [the camera pans to see the broom's model name on the handle]

All the quidditch fans looked in awe at the broom.

???: [Whispers in shock from behind him] Harry?
