The sorcerer’s apprentice Harry Potter spends his summer vacation as every year with his only relatives, the Muggles of the Dursley family, who treat him badly. In the coming school year at the Hogwarts School of Magic, Harry's grade is allowed to visit the nearby wizarding village of Hogsmeade for the first time. To do this, Harry has to have the permission letter signed by his guardian, nasty Uncle Vernon Dursley, who makes this dependent on Harry's behavior during the summer holidays. During the visit of Aunt Magda, Vernon's sister, she criticizes Harry and also insults his father James Potter, which makes Harry so excited that he can no longer control his magical powers and causes Magda to swell into a balloon. Not only is he dealing with the anger of the Dursleys, he also has to fear being expelled from school, as this is Harry's second offense against the ban on magic by minors outside school.
