== Synopsis == Almost ten years have passed since baby [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]], now nearly 11 years old, was left with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|the Dursleys]]. Harry has grown into a skinny boy with unruly black hair, and green eyes hidden behind round glasses. He also has a lightning-bolt-shaped scar on his forehead. The Dursleys' living room is filled with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dudley Dursley|Dudley's]] photographs, while there are none of Harry, who sleeps in a spidery cupboard under the staircase. One morning, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Petunia Dursley|Aunt Petunia]] awakens Harry, ordering him to cook breakfast. Today is Dudley's birthday, and everything must be perfect. The kitchen table is loaded with presents. The overweight Dudley is a bully who enjoys punching Harry, though he is rarely able to catch him. Dudley enters the kitchen, and is about to throw a tantrum after counting one fewer present than last year. Petunia only narrowly averts the tantrum by quickly promising to buy Dudley two more presents that day, thereby bringing the total to 39. The Dursleys are taking Dudley to the zoo for his birthday, but they learn that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arabella Figg|Mrs. Figg]], their cat-obsessed neighbour who usually looks after Harry at her own house during such outings has broken her leg and is unavailable. They discuss what to do with their nephew, while Dudley wails that he does not want Harry to come along. However, Dudley's friend, Piers Polkiss, arrives and the Dursleys are forced to let Harry join the expedition. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Vernon Dursley|Uncle Vernon]] sternly warns Harry that if any "funny business" occurs he will be in the cupboard until Christmas. — strange things seem to happen around Harry, and the Dursleys refuse to believe he did not cause them. Uncle Vernon becomes angry when Harry mentions dreaming about a flying motorcycle whilst they are going to the zoo. The trip to the zoo goes well at first, and Harry even gets some ice-cream. In the reptile house, Harry has a conversation with a large boa constrictor. When Dudley pushes Harry aside so he can see the snake's strange behaviour, the glass enclosing the snake exhibit vanishes. The snake slithers out, thanking Harry and saying that it will go to its natural environment in Brazil. In the car, Dudley and Piers greatly exaggerate their snake encounter, claiming it attacked them. Back home, a furious Uncle Vernon sends Harry to his cupboard, saying he will not be allowed any meals for a week. As Harry lies inside thinking, he remembers faint images of a flashing green light and pain in his forehead. He also recalls how occasionally, when he is out with the Dursleys, odd-looking people seem to recognise him.
