A jet black dog emerges from the bushes opposite, growling at him and he raises his wand. His surroundings stir as the wind picks up and a street lamp flickers above him. He sits down at the edge of the road with his trunk. At first he walks with determination but soon grinds to a stop as he realizes he hasn't anywhere to go. She viciously insults him and his parents, angering Harry who unwittingly uses his innate magical powers to cause her to inflate, and float off, out of the Dursleys' house and into the twilight. Uncle Vernon's (Richard Griffiths) sister Marge (Pam Ferris) comes to visit and treats Harry with general contempt.

It opens at the Dursleys' home where Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) lives and is staying, as usual, during the summer holidays.
