 | | The Dursleys ignore Harry, as usual, and Vernon leaves to pick up his sister, Aunt Marge, at the train station, first warning Harry to pretend that he is "normal." Harry is horrified at the news, as Aunt Marge does nothing during her visits but cuddle her dangerous dogs and bark insults at Harry. |
 | | Aunt Marge arrives, roaring praise at Dudley, sharing her tea with her dog, Ripper, and asking Harry whether he is being caned enough at his school. |
 | | Finally, one night at dinner Aunt Marge says flippantly that Harry's parents were irresponsible enough to get themselves killed in a car crash, and Harry is so livid that he causes her to expand and float. |
