Khác biệt giữa bản sửa đổi của “Harry Potter dành cho Muggle/Truyện/Hòn Đá Phù Thủy/Chương 4”

Without realizing it, Harry has reached the most significant milestone in his life thus far: his 11th birthday. Hagrid's arrival on that day not only liberates Harry from his miserable existence, it also empowers him to stand up against the abusive Dursleys. His relationship with them will never be the same again. Now Harry has the ability to make his own choices that directly affect his destiny. He can decide for himself whether he wants to stay with the Dursleys or attend Hogwarts, leaving behind the Muggle world he subconsciously always felt he never belonged. He chooses Hogwarts, and this decision shows Harry's budding maturity and ability to control to chart his own life's course. Although Harry develops a reluctance to put his faith into the unknown later in the series, this time he unhesitatingly believes this is his true path, and he trusts Hagrid to lead him on those first tentative steps. Harry is livid that his aunt and uncle withheld the truth, as adults often due with children to protect them, though their motive was hardly meant to shield him. Instead, it was inspired by their hate and resentment. The Dursleys supreme obstinance in refusing to allow him to attend Hogwarts is solely to deny him what they know he wants most, not because they have any concern for his well being. Even though Harry's departure would alleviate much of their unwanted responsibility for him, they would rather keep him at home purely to be spiteful. In this case, however, the choice is Harry's alone, and he opts to leave the Muggle world (and the Dursleys) behind, though he will be required to periodically revisit it until he reaches adulthood.
