’Harry Potter’ Prisoner of Azkaban Ch 1-2

Owl Post & Aunt Marge's Big Mistake

Welcome back to the Harry Potter binge! The first chapter of Prisoner of Azkaban: Owl Post follows the same formula that has been established. It's Harry's birthday, he's sad to be at the Dursleys, the Dursleys hate him, luckily he's a magic boy with magic friends from magic school. At some point something happens to make Vernon angry and hate him more and there's something big foreshadowed for a major plot point to come later. Then he goes to sleep.

 

Luckily, this time his friends send him gifts for his birthday!

 

Chapter 2: Aunt Marge's Big Mistake starts to pick up a little bit, but is still pretty quick. Vernon's sister is in town, she's been bullying Harry his entire life because she's a terrible person. She spends the chapter bullying him and eventually he accidentally inflates her like the Goodyear blimp.

 

He ends up running away and not getting his Hogsmeade permission slip signed because blowing up your aunt like a hot air balloon doesn't qualify in Vernon's mind as "behaving" I suppose.
