Turn to Page 31, The Knight Bus. Today’s lesson is called Rules are Rules The chapter begins with Harry alone on the streets, his wizarding equipment in tow. Harry is taking stock of his predicament when he senses what turns out to be a large black beast watching him. As he nervously prepares to deal with it, he accidentally summons the Knight Bus, a form of transport for stranded witches and wizards. He hides his identity from the Knight Bus employees, Stan and Ernie, but not his ignorance about the wizarding world. Harry learns about Sirius Black, a deranged man who escaped from Azkaban and who killed 13 people with a single curse. Harry spends the rest of his trip to Diagon Alley dreading the legal realities he is facing for using underaged magic. When he arrives, he is stunned to find none other than Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge waiting for him. Fudge is apparently relieved to see Harry safe and sound, given Black’s escape, and nonchalantly disregards Harry’s use of magic to blow up his aunt. Harry is then put up in a room at the Leaky Cauldron and promptly falls asleep. Music: The Curious Kitten by Aaron Kenny #MagicalTheory #HarryPotter #podcast #WizardPhD ✨Like the podcast?
