Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Scene 2

Scene 2

• Harry retreats to his room, angry at everything large Marge said about his poor dead parents.
• That night, he drags his trunk downstairs.
• Vernon demands Harry set Marge right, but Harry pulls his wand on Vernon.

HARRY: Anywhere's better than here.

• You tell him, Harry.
• Harry drags his trunk through the dark, mean streets of Little Whinging.
• With nowhere to go, he stops for a rest in a public playground.
• The swings start swinging by themselves, like in a Korean horror movie.
• Or maybe a Universal Wolfman flick: a mangy dog emerges from the bushes.
• Before it can attack, the mysterious Knight Bus emerges from thin air and welcomes Harry aboard.
• The bus driver, guided by a shrunken head, drives through the streets wilder than a Boston driver. (No offense, Bean Towners.)
