“‘For eleven years I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort.’ Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore … seemed not to notice,”(11). Dumbledore explains what happened with the Potters, and he remains sane even after recent events. Voldemort is so vicious and powerful that many wizards flinch at his name and will not say it.

When letters keep arriving to Harry, his uncle will not let him open them. Finally, Hagrid finds Harry and tells him that he is a wizard, and he is invited to enroll at Hogwarts. Hagrid takes Harry to Diagon Alley, and he buys him his school
