Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Harry, miserable and lonely, spends his summer at his uncle, aunt, and cousin’s home: Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley Dursley. The correspondence he has received from his best friends, Ron and Hermione, and his Godfather, Sirius, has been superficial. Harry is frustrated to have no real news from the wizarding world, especially after the events of the Triwizard Tournament, where Harry confronted Voldemort.
Harry lies beneath the window outside, eavesdropping on the Muggle news program (Vernon and Petunia have made it clear that he is not welcome in the sitting room). Harry hears a sound like the noise of a witch or wizard disapparating; he sits up suddenly, drawing his wand, and smacks his head on the window frame. Vernon, hearing Harry, viciously grabs him around the neck, telling him to put his wand away.
Harry walks down Privet Drive, hoping to find the witch or wizard who apparated. Sitting on a park swing, he sees Dudley and his gang of friends. Harry follows Dudley home at a distance, knowing he will be in trouble if he arrives home later.
The two walk together once Dudley leaves his friends; Harry taunts Dudley for his bullying behavior. Suddenly, the night becomes abruptly cold and dark.
