juicy, slightly burhe poker, dudley fidgeted a
little. un said sharply, ”dont toug he gives
you, dudley.”
the giant chuckled darkly.
”yet great puddin of a son doenin anymore, dursley,

he passed the sausages to harry, who was so hungry he had never
tasted anything so wo he still t take his eyes
off the giant. finally, as to explain anything,
he said, ”im sorry, but i still dont really know who you are.”
the giant took a gulp of tea and wiped his mouth with the back
of his hand.
”call me hagrid,” he said, ”everyone does. an like i told yeh,
im keeper of keys at hogwarts -- yehll know all about hogwarts,
o course.
”er -- no,” said harry.
hagrid looked shocked.

”srid, turning to stare at the dursleys, who
shrank bato the shadows. ”it s them as should be sorry! i knew

where yet pare all?”
”all what?” asked harry.
”all what?” hagrid thundered. ”now wait jus one sed!”
he had leapt to his feet. in his ao fill the
whole hut. the dursleys were g against the wall.
”do you meaell me,” he growled at the dursleys, ”that

harry thought this was going a bit far. he had been to school,
after all, and his marks werent bad.
”i khings,” he said. ”i , you know, do math and
stuff.” but hagrid simply waved his hand and said, ”about our world,
i mean. your world. my world. yer parents world.”
”what world?”
hagrid looked as if he was about to explode.
”dursley!” he boomed.
un, who had gone very pale, whispered something that
sounded like ”mimblewimble.” hagrid stared wildly at harry.
”but yeh must know about yet mom and dad,” he said. ”i mean,
theyre famous. youre famous.”
”what? my -- my mom a famous, were they?”
”yeh don know... yeh don know...” hagrid ran his fingers
through his hair, fixing harry with a bewildered stare.
”yeh don know what yeh are?” he said finally.
un suddenly found his voice.
”stop!” he aht there, sit! i forbid you to

a braver man than vernon dursley would have quailed uhe
furious lave him; oke, his every
syllable trembled with rage.
”you old him? old him what was ier
dumbledore left fer him? i was there! i saw dumbledore leave it,
dursley! an youve kept it from him all these years?”
”kept what from me?” said harry eagerly.
”stop! i forbid you!” yelled un in panic.
auunia gave a gasp of horror.
”ah, go boil yet heads, both of yeh,” said hagrid. ”harry --

wind could be heard.

”a wizard, o course,” said hagrid, sitting ba the
sofa, whied and sank even lower, ”an a thumpin goodun,

envelope, addressed in emerald green to mr. h. potter, the floor,
hut-ohe sea. he pulled out the letter and read:
