Good morning, everybody. I hope you're all doing well and you're staying safe and healthy while
00:00:00
we're in quarantine. So Asiyah and I were discussing earlier this week about book week
00:00:04
at the school. And so I have decided to read a little bit of one of my favorite books,
00:00:10
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Okay, so I have it here on my computer. I wish I had
00:00:16
the actual book in front of me, but I will just be reading off of my laptop. This is one of my
00:00:23
favorite books, like I said. I know a lot of you already know about Harry Potter, so I hope that
00:00:29
you guys will enjoy this. And yeah, like I said, I hope you guys are all staying safe and staying
00:00:35
healthy and hopefully having a little bit of fun with your families while we fight the coronavirus
00:00:40
and hopefully are all able to go outside very soon. So without further ado, I am going to read
00:00:46
a little bit of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which, by the way, is the first Harry
00:00:52
Potter book. So this is the very beginning, okay? Chapter one, The Boy Who Lived. Mr. and Mrs.
00:00:57
Dursley of number four Privet Drive were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you
00:01:07
very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious
00:01:14
because they just didn't hold with such nonsense. That means they didn't do crazy things. They were
00:01:20
very normal people, okay? Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which
00:01:26
made drills. You know, drills, like, not guns, drills. It's for, like, screwing in things.
00:01:34
He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache.
00:01:41
mrs dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck which came in
00:01:49
very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences spying on the neighbors
00:01:57
the dursleys had a small son called dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere so
00:02:02
they thought their son was the best they thought he was the best son or the best child in the world
00:02:10
the Dursleys had everything they wanted but they also had a secret and their greatest fear was that
00:02:15
somebody would discover it they didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the
00:02:23
Potters Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister but they hadn't met for several years in fact
00:02:29
Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister because her sister and her good-for-nothing
00:02:38
husband were as underly-ish as it was possible to be. So Mrs. Dursley and her sister were not
00:02:44
similar at all. They did not agree on a lot of things. So that her sister was Harry Potter's
00:02:51
mother. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the potters arrived in the
00:02:56
street. The Dursleys knew that the potters had a small son too, but they had never seen him.
00:03:04
This boy was another good reason for keeping the potters away.
00:03:11
They didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that, so they wanted to keep Dudley and their son separate.
00:03:15
When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts,
00:03:21
there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country.
00:03:28
mr durstley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work and mrs durstley gossiped
00:03:36
away happily as she wrestled a screaming dudley into his high chair so she was putting him in his
00:03:44
high chair to eat breakfast none of them noticed a large tawny owl flutter past the window do we
00:03:49
all know what an owl is it's the big bird it goes and he like looks around like that at half past
00:03:57
eight, Mr. Dursley picked up his briefcase, pecked Mrs. Dursley on the cheek, and tried to kiss Dudley
00:04:06
goodbye, but missed because Dudley was now having a tantrum and throwing his cereal at the walls.
00:04:12
Little Tyke laughed Mr. Dursley as he left the house. He got into his car and backed out of
00:04:18
number four's driveway. It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of
00:04:24
something peculiar, a cat reading a map. For a second, Mr. Dursley didn't realize what he had
00:04:30
seen. Then he jerked his head around to look again. There was a tabby cat standing on the
00:04:36
corner of Privet Drive, but there wasn't a map in sight. What could he have been thinking of?
00:04:41
It must have been a trick of the light. Mr. Dursley blinked and stared at the cat.
00:04:46
It stared back as Mr. Dursley drove around the corner and up the road.
00:04:51
He watched the cat in his mirror. It was now reading the sign that said Privet Drive.
00:04:55
No, looking at the sign. Cats don't read maps or signs. Mr. Dursley gave himself a little shake
00:05:00
and put the cat out of his mind. As he drove towards town, he thought of nothing except a
00:05:07
large order of drills he was hoping to get that day. But on the edge of town, drills were driven
00:05:12
out of his mind by something else. As he sat in the usual morning traffic jam, he couldn't help
00:05:18
but notice that there seemed to be a lot of strangely dressed people around. People in cloaks.
00:05:25
Mr. Dursley couldn't bear people who dressed in funny clothes, the get-ups you saw on young
00:05:30
people. He supposed this was some stupid new fashion. He drummed his fingers on the steering
00:05:35
wheel, and his eyes fell on a huddle of these weirdos standing close by. They were whispering
00:05:41
excitedly together. Mr. Dursley was enraged to see that a couple of them weren't young at all.
00:05:48
why that man had to be older than he was and wearing an emerald green cloak so a cloak is
00:05:55
very long so it goes over your entire body and it goes all the way to the floor the nerve of him
00:06:01
but then it struck mr dursley that this was probably some silly stunt these people were
00:06:07
obviously collecting for something yes that had to be it the traffic moved on and a few minutes later
00:06:12
mr dursley arrived at the grunnings car park his mind back on drills mr dursley always sat with
00:06:18
his back to the window in his office on the ninth floor. If he hadn't, he might have found it harder
00:06:25
to concentrate on drills that morning. He didn't see the owl swooping past in broad daylight,
00:06:29
though people down in the street did. They pointed and gazed, open mouth, as owl after owl sped
00:06:35
overhead so the owls were flying really fast. Most of them had never seen an owl before, even at
00:06:41
night. Mr. Dursley, however, had a perfectly normal owl-free morning. He yelled at five different
00:06:48
people. He made several important telephone calls and shouted a little more. He was in a very good
00:06:54
mood until lunchtime when he thought he'd stretch his legs and walk across the road to buy himself
00:06:59
a bun from the bakery. He'd forgotten all about the people in cloaks until he passed a group of
00:07:04
them next to the bakers. He eyed them angrily as he passed by. He didn't know why, but they made him
00:07:10
uneasy. They like made him nervous, you know, so he was just like, these people are weird. I don't
00:07:16
like this. This lot were whispering excitedly too, and he couldn't see a single collecting tin.
00:07:21
It was on his way back past them, clutching a lard donut in a bag, that he caught a few words
00:07:28
of what they were saying. The Potters, that's right, that's what I heard. Yes, their son Harry.
00:07:33
Mr. Dursley stopped in his tracks. Fear flooded him. He looked back at the whisperers as if he
00:07:38
wanted to say something to them, but thought better of it. He dashed back across the road,
00:07:44
hurried up to his office snapped at his secretary not to disturb him seized his telephone and hit
00:07:49
he almost dialed finished dialing his phone number when he changed his mind he put the receiver down
00:07:54
and stroked his mustache thinking no he was being stupid potter was uh wasn't such an unusual name
00:07:59
he was sure that there was lots of people called potter who had a son called harry come to think
00:08:06
of it he wasn't even sure his nephew was called harry he had never even seen the boy it might
00:08:11
have been Harvey or Harold. There was no point in worrying, Mrs. Dursley. She always got so upset at
00:08:16
any mention of her sister. He didn't blame her if he'd had a sister like that, but all the same,
00:08:22
this people in the cloaks. He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drills that afternoon,
00:08:28
and when he left the building at five o'clock, he was still so worried that he walked straight
00:08:34
into somebody outside the door. Sorry, he grunted as the tiny old man stumbled and almost fell.
00:08:37
It was a few seconds before Mr. Dursley realized that the man was wearing a violet cloak.
00:08:42
He didn't seem at all upset at being almost knocked to the ground.
00:08:48
On the contrary, his face split into a wide smile, and he said in a squeaky voice that made passers-by stare,
00:08:51
Don't be sorry, my dear sir, for nothing could upset me today.
00:08:57
Rejoice, for you-know-who has gone at last.
00:09:01
Even muggles like yourself should be celebrating this happy, happy day.
00:09:04
And the old man hugged Mr. Dursley around the middle of his waist and walked off.
00:09:08
mr dursley stood rooted to the spot he had been hugged by a complete stranger he also thought
00:09:12
he'd been called a muggle whatever that was he was rattled he hurried to his car and set off home
00:09:20
hoping he was imagining things which he had never hoped before because he didn't approve of
00:09:25
imagination as he pulled into the driveway of number four the first thing he saw and it didn't
00:09:30
improve his mood was the tabby cat he'd spotted that morning it was now sitting on his garden wall
00:09:36
He was sure it was the same one.
00:09:42
It had the same markings around its eyes.
00:09:45
Shoo, he said loudly.
00:09:47
But the cat didn't move.
00:09:49
It gave him a stern look.
00:09:50
Was this normal cat behavior, he wondered.
00:09:52
Trying to pull himself together, he let himself into the house.
00:09:55
He was still determined not to mention anything to his wife.
00:09:58
His wife had had a nice, normal day.
00:10:02
She told him over dinner all about the Mrs. Next Door's problems with her daughter
00:10:05
and how Dudley had learned a new word.
00:10:09
Mr. Dursley tried to act normal. When Dudley had been put to bed, he went to the living room to
00:10:10
catch the last report of the evening news. And finally, bird watchers everywhere have reported
00:10:15
that nation's owls have been behaving very unusually today. Although owls normally hunt
00:10:22
at night and are hardly ever seen in daylight, there have been hundreds of owls all across the
00:10:27
city. Experts are unable to explain why the owls have suddenly changed their sleeping pattern.
00:10:32
The newsreader allowed himself to grin.
00:10:38
Most mysterious.
00:10:40
And now we're up to Jim McGuffin with the weather.
00:10:41
Any more showers of owls tonight, Jim?
00:10:43
Well, Ted, said the weatherman, I don't know about that.
00:10:45
But it's not only the owls who have been acting oddly today.
00:10:48
Viewers as far apart as Kent, Yorkshire, and Dundee have been phoning in to tell me that
00:10:51
instead of rain, I promised yesterday, they had a downpour of shooting stars.
00:10:55
So stars up in the sky.
00:10:59
Perhaps people have been celebrating bonfire night early.
00:11:03
It's not till next week's, folks, but I can promise a lot of rain tonight.
00:11:05
Mr. Dursley sat frozen in his armchair, shooting stars all over Britain,
00:11:10
owls flying by daylight, mysterious people in cloaks all over the place,
00:11:16
and a whisper, a whisper about the potters.
00:11:20
Mrs. Dursley came into the living room carrying two cups of tea.
00:11:23
It was no good.
00:11:26
He'd have to say something to her.
00:11:27
He cleared his throat nervously.
00:11:29
Petunia, dear, you haven't heard from your sister lately, have you?
00:11:31
As he had expected, Mrs. Dursley looked shocked and angry.
00:11:36
After all, they normally pretended she didn't have a sister.
00:11:40
No, she said. Why?
00:11:43
Funny stuff on the news, he mumbled.
00:11:45
Owls, shooting stars. There were a lot of funny-looking people in town today.
00:11:47
So, snapped his wife,
00:11:51
Well, I just thought maybe it was something to do with, you know, her and her friends.
00:11:53
Mrs. Dursley sipped her tea through pursed lips like this.
00:12:00
Mr. Dursley wondered whether he dared tell her he'd heard the name Potter.
00:12:05
He decided he wasn't going to.
00:12:09
Instead, he said, as casually as he could,
00:12:13
their son, he'd be about Dudley's age now, wouldn't he?
00:12:15
I suppose so, his wife said.
00:12:18
What's his name again? Howard, isn't it?
00:12:21
Harry. Nasty common name, if you ask me.
00:12:24
Oh, yes, said Mr. Dursley, his heart sinking.
00:12:26
Yes, I quite agree.
00:12:30
He didn't say another word on the subject, and as they went upstairs to bed,
00:12:31
Mr. Dursley was in the bathroom.
00:12:36
Oh, sorry.
00:12:38
While Mrs. Dursley was in the bathroom, Mr. Dursley crept to the bedroom window and peered down the front garden.
00:12:39
The cat was still there.
00:12:44
It was staring down Privet Drive as though it was waiting for something.
00:12:47
Was he imagining things?
00:12:50
Could all of this have anything to do with the Potters?
00:12:52
If it did, if it got out that they were related to a pair of, well, he couldn't bear to think about it.
00:12:54
The Dursleys got into bed. Mrs. Dursley fell asleep quickly, but Mr. Dursley lay awake,
00:13:01
turning all over in his mind. His last comforting thought before he fell asleep was that even if
00:13:06
the Potters were involved, there was no reason for them to come near him and Mrs. Dursley.
00:13:11
The Potters knew very well what he and Petunia thought about them and their kind,
00:13:16
and they couldn't see how he and Petunia could get mixed up in anything that might be going on.
00:13:20
He yawned in turnover. It wouldn't affect them. How very wrong he was.
00:13:26
Mr. Dursley might have been drifting into an uneasy sleep, but the cat on the wall outside
00:13:32
was showing no sign of being tired. It was sitting as still as a statue, its eyes fixed unblinkingly
00:13:36
on the far corner of Privet Drive. It didn't so much as quiver when a car door slammed on the
00:13:42
next street, nor when two owls swooped overhead. In fact, it was nearly midnight before the cat
00:13:47
moved at all. A man appeared on the corner the cat had been watching, appeared so suddenly and
00:13:53
silently you'd have thought he'd just popped out of the ground. The cat's tail twitched and its
00:13:59
eyes narrowed. Nothing like this man had ever been seen on Privet Drive. He was tall, thin,
00:14:04
and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck
00:14:13
into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak which swept to the ground, and high-heeled
00:14:18
buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles, and his
00:14:24
nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man's name was
00:14:31
Albus Dumbledore. Albus Dumbledore didn't seem to realize that he had just arrived in a street
00:14:37
where everything from his name to his boots was unwelcome. He was busy rummaging in his cloak
00:14:44
looking for something but he did seem to realize that he was being watched because he looked up
00:14:50
suddenly at the cat which was still staring at him from the other end of the street.
00:14:56
For some reason the sight of the cat seemed to amuse him. He chuckled and muttered I should have
00:15:00
known. He had found what he had been looking for inside his pocket. It seemed to be a silver
00:15:05
cigarette lighter. He flicked it open, held it to the air, and clicked it. The nearest street lamp
00:15:10
went out with a pop, so the light went out like that. He clicked it again. The next lamp flickered
00:15:15
in the darkness. Twelve times he clicked the putt-outer until the only lights left on the
00:15:21
whole street were two little pinpricks from the distance, which were the eyes of the cat watching
00:15:27
him. If anyone looked out their window now, even beady-eyed Mrs. Dursley, they wouldn't be able to
00:15:31
see anything that was happening down on the pavement. Dumbledore slipped the put-outer back
00:15:38
inside his cloak and set off down the street towards number four, where he sat on the wall
00:15:42
next to the cat. He didn't look at it, but after a moment he spoke to it.
00:15:47
Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall. He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone.
00:15:56
Instead, he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the
00:16:02
shape of markings the cat had around its eyes. She too was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her
00:16:07
black hair was drawn into a tight bun. She looked distinctly ruffled. How did you know it was me,
00:16:13
she asked. My dear professor, I've never seen a cat sit so stiffly. You'd be stiff if you'd been
00:16:19
sitting on a brick wall all day, she said. All day? When you could have been celebrating. I must
00:16:26
have passed a dozen feasts and parties on the way here. Oh yes, everyone's celebrating all right,
00:16:31
she said. You'd think they'd be a little more careful, but no, even the muggles have noticed
00:16:36
something's going on. It was on their news. She jerked her head back to the Dursley's dark living
00:16:40
room window. I heard it. Flocks of owls? Shooting stars? Well, they're not completely stupid. They
00:16:45
were bound to notice something. Shooting stars down in Kent? I'll bet that was Dedula's diggle.
00:16:51
He never had much sense. You can't blame them, Dumbledore said gently. We've had precious little
00:16:58
to celebrate for 11 years. I know that, Professor McGonagall said, but there's no reason to lose
00:17:04
our heads. People are being downright careless out on the streets in broad daylight, not even
00:17:10
dressed in muggle clothes, swapping rumors. She threw a sharp sideways glance at Dumbledore
00:17:14
as hoping he was going to tell her something, but he didn't, so she went on. A fine thing would be
00:17:20
if, on the very day you-know-who seems to have disappeared at last, the muggles found out about
00:17:27
us all. I suppose he really has gone, Dumbledore. It certainly seems so, he said. We have much to
00:17:32
be thankful for. Would you care for a sherbet lemon? A what? A sherbet lemon. They're kind of
00:17:37
muggle sweet I'm rather fond of. No thank you, she said coldly, as though she didn't think that
00:17:42
this was the moment for sherbet lemons. As I say, even if you-know-who has gone, my dear professor,
00:17:47
surely a sensible person like yourself can call him by his name. All this you-know-who nonsense.
00:17:53
For 11 years, I've been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name, Voldemort.
00:17:58
So that's where I'm going to stop here.
00:18:04
There's still a lot left in this chapter, so I don't want to go on for too, too long
00:18:06
because it's almost 20 minutes long, this video.
00:18:10
But I hope you guys enjoyed me reading.
00:18:13
I know a lot of it will be a little confusing, so just try to enjoy the video.
00:18:16
I know some of it might not make a lot of sense for you guys.
00:18:22
And yeah, I miss you guys a lot.
00:18:25
I hope you guys are staying safe and staying healthy and that your families are doing okay.
00:18:27
And I'll see you guys very soon, okay?
00:18:31
Bye.
