Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal - Parte 2

Parte dos.

Como que la familia real de Harry ha sido asesinada por Voldemort (el "Innombrable"), tiene que vivir con sus tíos y primo, los Dursley. Odian a Harry. Dudley lo atormenta y sus tíos lo descuidan. Viven en una linda casa en un barrio de media clase, pero Harry tiene que quedarse en una alacena pequeña debajo de las escaleras (mientras que en la casa de cuatro habitaciones, Dudley tiene dos habitaciones propias - una para dormir y otra para sus trastos). A Harry siempre le han sucedido cosas extrañas en su presencia, especialmente si estaba asustado o enojado, cosa que a los Dursley no les gustaba nada.

En el décimo cumpleaños de Dudley, todos van al zoológico, incluido Harry porque no pueden encontrar a nadie que lo cuide. En una de las atracciones, Harry se pone a hablar con una boa constrictora. Dudley lo empuja para que pueda ver y de golpe el vidrio desaparece. La boa se desliza por el suelo hacia la salida y Dudley dice que la serpiente había tratado de atacarlo. Todos culpan a Harry y él es castigado, aunque protesta y dice que no tuvo nada que ver.

Part Two

Since Harry's royal family has been killed by Voldemort (the “Unnamable”), he has to live with his aunt, uncle and cousin, the Dursleys. They hate Harry. Dudley torments him and his aunt and uncle neglect him. They live in a nice house in a middle-class neighborhood, but Harry has to stay in a small cupboard under the stairs (while in the four-room house, Dudley has two rooms of his own - one to sleep in and one for all his junk). Harry has always had strange things happen in his presence, especially if he was frightened or angry, which the Dursleys did not like at all.

On Dudley's tenth birthday, everyone goes to the zoo, including Harry because they can't find anyone to take care of him. At one of the attractions, Harry starts talking to a boa constrictor. Dudley pushes him out of the way to see and suddenly the glass vanishes. The boa slithers on the ground towards the exit and Dudley says the snake had tried to attack him. They all blame Harry and he gets punished, even though he protests and says he had nothing to do with it.
