Chapter 383 [Movie Watch]: The Awkward Dursley Family

"I'm glad that my self-assertion didn't bother you. Although drinking something hot can be more soothing when it's hot, young people always like the pleasure of a cold drink sliding down their throats."

Rupert felt as if Dumbledore could read his mind. Just when he felt like drinking the iced pumpkin juice, the cup on which his fingers were hooked and the pot suspended in the air faded away and disappeared into the air.

Then, a shallow stone basin with strange carvings on the rim appeared in front of him.

"what should I do?"

Dumbledore walked briskly to Rupert's side. "Put your hands on the edge of the basin and recall everything you want to show us. It doesn't have to be very detailed, just a keyword to refer to them. For example, if you want to share a book with us, keep repeating its name in your mind."

"Our brain is much more powerful than we think. Many images that we think we have no memory of but a fleeting glimpse of can actually emerge from the ocean of memory as long as we want."

Listening to Dumbledore's voice, Rupert felt a chill running down from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

He kept repeating the two key words "Harry Potter" and "movie" in his mind, and then he felt something in his body slipping away from his skin that was in contact with the Pensieve.

From Ron and the others' perspective, Rupert suddenly trembled all over, then had an orgasm look on his face, and then something silvery in the basin, not sure whether it was light, gas or liquid, began to rotate.

A sound of music that was a mixture of lightness and solemnity rang out, and the things in the basin began to have colors. It was a blue sky with white clouds and a huge blue and gold badge in the middle.

"Warner Bros. Pictures?" Ron asked in confusion. "Is that the company that produced this movie?"

Robert's hand had left the Pensieve. "Yes, Warner Bros."

While they were talking, a road sign with the words 'PRIVET DRIVE' and a dark night appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Privet Drive! I've been there. It's Uncle Harry's house!" said Ron.

(Harry recognized her at once. He hadn't been back to Privet Drive for a long time. The last time he met his aunt was when she was forced by her mother to attend his birthday party. It was also then that he learned that Aunt Petunia actually knew Snape.)
The picture showed an owl flying by, and then a tall and thin figure dressed as a wizard with white hair and beard walked out of the darkness.

The music becomes suspenseful and slightly scary.

("An owl Animagus?")
(“Is this Dumbledore?” some viewers have already noticed.)
Next came a silvery-white tabby cat.

The old man took out a silver object that looked a bit like a flashlight and pointed it at the street lamp and pressed it a few times. The light in the street lamp turned into a light ball and was sucked into it. The street lamps went out one by one.
"Is this me?" Dumbledore looked at the old man with interest. He did not think he had the bad temper that Neville and the others said. On the contrary, he was very similar to the old man in his previous state.

It's just that the Deluminator in this Dumbledore's hand is more like a flashlight, while his is more like a lighter.

The tabby cat made a few tender noises, and the old man with the half-moon lenses lowered his eyes kindly, "I should have expected you to come, Professor McGonagall."

The picture turned to a cat, then a shadow. As the music became increasingly tense, the cat's shadow turned into a human figure, and when it reappeared, it was a woman with a serious expression.

'Professor McGonagall? She looks older, and wears round glasses instead of square ones.' Dumbledore spotted the difference quickly.

"Is this Professor Dumbledore?" Ron's eyes seemed to pop out when he heard Professor McGonagall address the old man.

Neville and Draco were also very confused.

"how is this possible?"

"This isn't Dumbledore!"

Rupert responded, "It's the actor, Richard Harris played Dumbledore in the Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, but after his death, Mr. Michael Gambon played the role in the subsequent films."

(Dumbledore suddenly realized, "So my actor's name is Michael Gambon.")
At this time, the picture showed a blue sun in the sky, which kept enlarging, and then the picture zoomed out to reveal the outline of a motorcycle, and Hagrid, who had just been mentioned by the two people, walked down from it.

(Hagrid was already crying at this moment. He didn't pay attention to Professor McGonagall's questioning of him during the conversation between Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. The only thing that was circling in his mind was the words, 'I can trust my life to Hagrid.')
(Grindelwald's face turned pale. Although that Dumbledore looked different from the one he knew, he still wanted to rush to Hagrid and point his wand at his chest. "Hagrid, will Dumbledore mourn for you?")
Although it might be impolite, Dumbledore felt that this Hagrid might be more emotionally stable and reliable. Until now, he still vaguely remembered the crying and wailing sound when Hagrid handed Harry to him.

"Albus, do you really feel safe leaving the child with this family? I've been observing them all day and I've never seen a worse Muggle than them."

(After hearing Professor McGonagall say this, even though Harry already knew the whole story, he still nodded subconsciously.)
Dumbledore in the picture has finished his reasons, without mentioning Harry's scar or the scar on his left knee that is a complete map of the London Underground, and then said, "Good luck, Harry Potter."

The picture shows the lightning-shaped scar, with golden light emitting from the hole.
Damn! Pott is really a savior! Draco took a step back.

Ron and Neville shook each other's hands.

(Ginny, who was amused by the sight of baby Harry, fell off her stool and landed flat on her face.)
(Ginny wasn't the only one who was startled. Many viewers were shocked.)
(“The love spell must have sensed the aura of a blood relative and is starting to activate.” Some knowledgeable people analyzed seriously.)
Dumbledore was also shocked for a moment, until
Along with the sound of dark clouds, music, and lightning, the words "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" appeared in the golden light.

"This is a special effect," Rupert explained at the right time.

Nervous, scared me, Ron quickly shook off Neville's hand.

In a flash of white light, the lightning scar shining with golden light reappeared, the picture expanded, and Harry Potter with blue eyes emerged from it.

(Snape seemed to have seen something filthy. The blue-eyed Potter was destined to die!)
Ron and the others didn't have time to raise any questions.

Rupert explained, "Dan, I mean Daniel, he is allergic to colored contact lenses and can't wear them, so his eyes are blue. But in the movie setting it's still green, and many characters mention that his eyes are the same as his mother's."

("Allergies! Why not just go blind!" Snape would not allow Harry Potter with any other eye color to appear in front of him.)
(Harry's eye color problem makes Aunt Petunia's appearance, Harry living in the downstairs locker, and Dudley's rudeness and rejection of Harry downplayed.)
(Of course, this did not include Sirius. He was ready to go to the Dursleys and teach them a lesson. In his opinion, not treating Harry like a little prince was abuse.)
(Some viewers were still somewhat dissatisfied with the Dursleys even though they were distracted by the eye color issue. But when they heard Dudley calling Harry his cousin and asking him to go to the zoo, they suddenly felt that the Dursleys were quite good to Harry and really treated him as a family member.)
(It was just that Dudley was a little naughty, but it was his birthday after all.)
(Some viewers didn't care much when they heard Aunt Petunia telling Harry to cook, after all, Harry was hardly busy in the scene, he just fried the bacon in the pan for less than a minute.)
(Aunt Petunia was the one who was busy before.)
(It’s just that Harry’s uncle’s tone was too rude, but it’s understandable, after all, Harry has no blood relationship with him.)
(But Dudley's subsequent performance still left some viewers dissatisfied.)
(Ginny frowned, "You're not satisfied with 36 gifts, and you're asking for 38?")
(Lily shook her head, "Petney is still too doting on her son.")
Just when Dumbledore was wondering whether the information Mrs. Figg had given him was a little distorted, and why Petunia and the others were so nice to Harry, Ron waved his fist in anger, "What lousy director shot this!"

"It was Harry's neighbor who broke his leg, and they were worried about leaving Harry at home, so they sent him to the zoo!"

The screen just played the scene where Dursley threatened Harry that if he dared to play tricks again, he would let him not eat for a week. "See! This is more in line with the facts."

Draco murmured in a dreamy voice, "I always thought he was treated like a prince. He is the savior!"

Neville knew a little bit about it as Harry's roommate, but he never knew the locker was so small.

Rupert explained, "This is for the sake of the length of the film, some unimportant details-"

"Details? Not important?" Ron snorted. "This is Harry's history of suffering!"

He pointed at Dudley, who had pushed Harry to the ground in order to see the snake, "This is real!"

Rupert wanted to weaken the gloomy atmosphere. "By the way, did you know that the actor who played Dudley is called Harry Melling?"

But no one paid any attention to him.

In the picture, Harry stared at Dudley leaning against the glass. The glass disappeared and Dudley fell into the water.

The huge python deliberately swam past Dudley. Dudley stood up and tried to get out, but found that the glass had reappeared and called for his parents for help.

Harry smiled broadly, and Dursley happened to see him.

After returning home, he was locked in the storage room by Dursley.
An owl appears and drops a letter outside the house.

The camera moves to inside the house.

Dudley looked ridiculous in his red suit gift, but the Dursleys looked very proud.

("It looks like it's been a while." Ginny squeezed Harry's hand worriedly. "You haven't really been without food for a week.")
(Harry shook his head, looking nonchalant, "The Dursleys forgot one thing. I cook.")
Harry looked disgusted, "I'm not going to wear that too, am I?"

The Dursleys, and Dudley, laughed shrilly.

Said he only deserved to go to public school.

(Lily frowned, but she knew how expensive private schools were. With Dumbledore not paying alimony and Harry's magical riots always causing trouble, Petunia and the others were doing pretty well.)
(But this attitude, this wanton ridicule, seems to indicate that they do not consider Harry to be a flesh-and-blood person.)
(She finally understood why Petunia avoided her gaze and looked guilty when she saw her, and why Harry ignored Petunia who came to her birthday party.)
(This does not, however, constitute a reason for them to be disqualified.)
(Penny has always regarded magic as her enemy, desiring and hating it.)
(Harry looked so much like James, and James had offended the Dursleys.)
In the scene, an owl dropped letters, which Dursley tore into pieces, and Petunia opened eggs, which were also filled with letters.

She tried to remain calm, but finally let out a desperate wail when she noticed countless owls outside the window.

Dursley still did not give up. He persisted from day to night and threw the letter into the fireplace in front of Harry.

Time flies and it is Sunday.

Dursley, with a messy hair and a rosy face, asked Dudley, "Why is Sunday the best day?"

"Because there's no mail delivery on Sundays," Harry replied quickly.

Dursley was rarely angry, and said to Harry kindly, "You are right, Harry."

(Hagrid laughed, "Silly Dursleys, there's nothing a Muggle can do to stop Harry from becoming a wizard.")
Ron couldn't understand. "If they hate Harry so much, why don't they just let Harry leave?"

"Maybe they are worried that Harry will become a wizard and take revenge on them." Draco guessed.

Dumbledore sighed, "They hate magic. They are just trying their best to prevent it from harming Harry."

"Hurt?" Ron's eyes widened.

In the picture of the floating Pensieve, Dursley's laughter stopped abruptly, and letters poured into the room.

(Harry should have laughed, seeing the Dursleys screaming and wailing after being hit in the face.)
(But now he realized that maybe Dumbledore was right, and they were just protecting him in their stupid, hateful way.)
(Even the opinion of the most favored Dudley doesn't matter at this moment.)
(Their only purpose was to keep him away from magic.)
(This is indeed love, the love that once made him suffer and resentful.)
(Perhaps the Dursleys themselves didn't realize it.)
However, even so, Dursley still did not give up.

Moved to a small cabin on a lonely island with Harry.

(Lily sighed. In a way, her sister and brother-in-law were indeed qualified in treating her son.)
"Okay." Ron had to admit, "It's love. But there must be something wrong with them. If you love Harry, you should be nice to him."

He looked at the picture speechlessly, and saw Harry who could only sleep on the floor with a bed sheet but covered with a warm quilt.

"How hypocritical. It's Harry's birthday."

(Ginny's eyes were red as she looked at Harry who was saying "Happy Birthday" on the ground and wishing her a happy birthday.)
(Sirius, who was originally stopped by Lupin, clamored to go to Privet Drive again.)
"Then Hagrid will appear."

"Oh~"

Ron was startled.

Even though he knew the general idea of ​​what was going on, it was too much like a scene from a horror story.

Late at night, during a storm, an unknown creature covered in fur broke open the door and broke into the house.

Fortunately, Hagrid's honest face and the birthday cake in his hand weakened the horror atmosphere a little.
