“Bless my soul,” whispered the old bartender, “Harry Potter . . . what an honor.”

“Harry Potter has kindly joined us for my rebirthing party. One might go so far as to call him my guest of honor.”

“Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts.“Harry Potter must stay where he is safe. He is too great, too good, to lose. If Harry Potter goes back to Hogwarts, he will be in mortal danger.”“Why?” said Harry in surprise.“There is a plot, Harry Potter. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.”

“To Harry Potter — the boy who lived!”

“Yes, Harry Potter!” said Dobby at once, his great eyes shining with excitement. “And if Dobby does it wrong, Dobby will throw himself off the topmost tower, Harry Potter!”“There won’t be any need for that,” said Harry hastily.”

“Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways.”

“Ah, yes. Harry Potter. Our new — celebrity.”
