Movie Plot
The film starts with a cat (McGonagall) sat on the corner of a street. An old man (Dumbledore) arrives and turns off all the street lights and begins to talk to the cat which soon changes into a human. They are talking about the killing of two people and how their son, Harry Potter, just a baby, survived. A giant man (Hagrid) falls from the sky on a motorbike and hands over the baby boy to Dumbledore. McGonagall protests that Harry should not be left with these Muggles but he is anyway with a letter placed beside him for Mr and Mrs V. Dursley . . .
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Dudley Dursley runs down the stairs and jumps up and down above Harry's cupboard informing him it is his (Dudley's) birthday and they are off to the zoo. Harry cooks breakfast whilst Dudley throws a tantrum that he has two less presents than last year. They all head to the zoo. Dudley and Uncle Vernon bang on the window of a boa constrictor but it doesn't move. Harry starts to talk to it and the glass disappears and Dudley falls face first into the water. The snake slithers off and the glass reappears trapping Dudley. Harry is punished for this and locked in his cupboard.
