Magical Theory, a Harry Potter podcast

Turn to Page 1, The Boy Who Lived. Today’s lesson is called Secrets, Secrets.   Synopsis: The chapter starts following Mr. Durlsey, a brutish, ordinary man, as he goes about his typical work day mixed with some strange happenings, like a map-reading cat. At lunch, he overhears a part of a conversation about someone called Harry Potter, the same name as his nephew, who the Dursleys pretend does not exist. Alongside Vernon Dursley’s normal day gone sour is a celebration by a secret magical community. A very unusual man named Albus Dumbledore arrives outside the Dursley’s house, and confirms for Professor McGonagall (who has morphed out of her cat form) that the dangerous and powerful Voldemort had killed Harry Potter’s parents, yet somehow failed to kill the infant child, and was even destroyed by the very attempt. Dumbledore reveals that baby Harry is to come to stay at the Dursley’s home, much to the chagrin of Professor McGonagall, and be kept from learning his famous identity until he is older.
