 Chapter 4 Summary
• The knocking wakes them all up. Mr.
Dursley aims a gun at the door and yells.
The door's smashed in by a giant man,
who stomps in, asks for a cup of tea, and
tells Dudley to scoot over. Then he says
hello to Harry and tells him he looks like
his parents.
• Mr. Dursley tells him to leave. The giant
just tells him to zip it and breaks Dursley's
gun. Then he wishes Harry a happy
birthday, and even gives him a cake.
• He says he's Hagrid, groundskeeper at
Hogwarts. He lights a real fire in the fireplace
and produces all the elements for a solid
meal out of his pockets. Everyone else has
had little to eat and is really hungry, but Mr.
Dursley says they shouldn't eat anything he
tries to give them.

• Harry eats and asks Hagrid more about who

he is. Hagrid says he should know about
Hogwarts. When Harry says he doesn't,
Hagrid is shocked and amazed.
• He yells at the Dursleys, saying that it was
one thing that Harry couldn't get his
letters, but to keep him from knowing
about Hogwarts was really bad.
• When Hagrid finds out that Harry doesn't
know anything about his parents, he gets
even angrier with the Dursleys, who are
very frightened.
• Hagrid reveals to Harry that his parents
inhabited a separate world, where they
were famous, and that Harry's famous too.
• Mr. Dursley tries to keep Hagrid from saying any
more, but of course it doesn't work. Hagrid's
even angrier when he finds out that the Dursleys
never gave Harry the letter Dumbledore left with
him.

• He tells Harry he's a wizard, and probably will be

a good one when he receives some training. He
finally gives Harry his letter.

• Harry reads a letter on stationary from the

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
signed by Deputy Headmistress Minerva
McGonagall.
• The letter says Harry's been accepted to
the school and gives him a list of supplies
to get; it also says he should confirm his
acceptance with an owl by the end of July.

• When Harry asks what it means by owl,

Hagrid remembers something, and pulls
an owl out of his coat. He writes a short
letter to Dumbledore, saying he's given
Harry his letter, gives this new letter to the
owl, and releases it into the storm.
• Mr. Dursley says Harry's not leaving, but
Hagrid says Muggles can't stop it. Harry
asks what Muggles are, and Hagrid says
they're non-magic people.

• Harry asks whether the Dursleys knew he

was magic. Mrs. Dursley lets loose, yelling
that he's just like her freaky abnormal
sister and it's her sister's own fault she got
blown up.
• Blown up? Harry is shocked because he
always thought his parents died in a car
crash.

• Hagrid's even angrier, if possible, and

says Harry of all people should know the
story of what really happened.

• Hagrid says he's not really the right person

to tell Harry, but someone should, so…
• He says a wizard in their world, named
Voldemort, went bad twenty years ago in a
quest for power. He killed anyone who
went against him. The only safe place in
the world was Hogwarts.

• Voldemort visited their house ten years

ago when Harry was just a baby. The evil
wizard was determined to either get
Harry's parents to join him, or to destroy
them.
• This makes Hagrid cry. He continues that
Voldemort killed Harry's parents.
Voldemort tried to kill Harry too, but
couldn't.

• The scar on Harry's forehead is from an

evil curse Voldemort tried to put on him.
Harry's famous because he's the only
person who ever survived when Voldemort
wanted him dead.
• Mr. Dursley says this is all nonsense, but
Hagrid cuts him off.
Harry asks what happened to Voldemort, and
Hagrid says they don't know – no one's seen
or heard from him in ten years. They're not
sure if he died, lost power, or what. All they
know is that somehow Harry helped defeat
him.

• Harry doesn't understand how he could really

be a wizard. Hagrid tells him that those weird
things that kept happening, which he couldn't
explain, were proof of his talent.
• Mr. Dursley says he's not going to a stupid
school like Hogwarts, and he's not paying for
it.

• Hagrid is furious that Mr. Dursley would insult

Hogwarts and Dumbledore. He says Harry's
been signed up since he was born. In his
anger, Hagrid casts a spell that gives Dudley a
pig's tail.

• The three Dursleys are so frightened by this

that they run to the other room and hide.
• Hagrid asks Harry to keep that a secret,
since he's not really supposed to do
magic.

• He reveals that he went to Hogwarts, but

was expelled. He tells Harry to go to sleep,
because they have a lot of work to do the
next day.
