Professor Mcgonagall singing:
There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
I've seen him travel very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little thin and sad of eye
But very strong was he...
And then one day
One awful day
He passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me...
'The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love...and be loved in return.'
Harry (older now) narrates: Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry. . . a giant classroom, the dance hall of the wizarding way of life. Ruled over by Albus Dumbledore. A kingdom of wizard's and witch's pleasures. Where the hexed and magical came to learn with the old and experienced creatures of the magicworld. And the most talented of all these was the woman I loved, Hermione, a "mud blood." They called her the "Sparkling Witch", and she was the star... of Hogwarts. The woman I loved is... dead. I first came to London 18 years ago. It was 1990, the summer of magic. I knew nothing of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore or Hermione. The world had been swept up in the supernatural revolution. And I unknowingly traveled as a baby to be a part of it. On a hill near Privit Drive was Diagon Ally. It was not as my Aunt and Uncle had said.
Mr. And Mrs. Dursley: A village of SIN!
Harry as Narrator: It was the center of the Magical world with wizards, witches, quidditch stars. They were known as the "Children of the Revolution." Yes, I had come to live a penniless existence. I had come to learn about potions, magic, quidditch and that which I believe in above all things... LOVE. Mr. And Mrs. Dursley: Always this ridiculous obsession with love!
Harry as Narrator: There was only one problem - I'd never been in love! I'd never even had a girl friend. Luckily, right at that moment a huge greasy man fell through my door. He was quickly joined by a wand dressed as a pink umbrella. (the door falls) Hagrid: How do you do? My name is Reumus hagrid. I'm terribly sorry about all this. We were just outside looking for Mr. Harry Potter. Harry: What?!? Me? Harry as Narrator: Mr. Potter, me, apparently was well known to this huge beasty man. Hagrid: You're very famous, Harry. Come with us to Hogwarts. Dumbledore: How is he? Mcgonagall: How wonderful now that the poor little boy is safe in his aunt and uncle's arms. And therefore the scenario will be finished and happy enough in time to present to the magical world tomorrow. Dumbledore: Quick Hagrid, I still have to finish the letter. Hagrid: Oh how in heavens did we find someone to take such good care of the young, sensitive English wizard? Harry as Narrator: Before I knew it, I was in the cupboard kicking off spiders in my aunt and uncle's house on Privit Drive.
