- Aboard the wild Knight Bus, Harry scopes the front page of the Daily Prophet.
- Above the fold is Sirius Black, one of You-Know-Who's biggest supporters.
- Black has escaped from Azkaban.
- After squeezing between two double-decker buses, the Knight Bus drops Harry off at the Leaky Cauldron.

- He warns him there's a criminal on the loose (Sirius Black) and sends Harry to his room. We hope it has a few extra super-strong magical locks on the door.
