"The escape the of Brazilian boa constrictor earned Harry his longest-ever punishment. By the time he was allowed out of his cupboard again, the summer holidays had started and Dudley had already broken his new video camera, crashed his remote control airplane, and, first time out on his racing bike, knocked downold Mrs. Figg as she crossed Privet drive on her crutches.'
'Harry was glad school was over, but there was no escaping Dudley's gang, who visited the house every single day. Piers, Dennis, Malcom, and Gordon were all big and stupid, but as Dudley was the biggest and stupidest of the lot, he was the leader. The rest of them were all quite happy to join in Dudley's favorite sport: Harry Hunting.'
'This was why Harry's been as much time as possible out of the house, wandering around and thinking about the end of the holidays, where he could see a tiny ray of hope. When September came he would be going off to secondary school and, for the first time in his life, he wouldn't be with Dudley." (pages 31 and 32)
"This only left one parcel. Harry picked it up and felt it. It was very light. He unwrapped it.
Something fluid and silverey gray went slithering on the floor. Ron gasped...
Harry picked the shining, silvery cloth off the floor. It was strange to the touch, like water woven into material. 'It's an invisibility cloak,' said Ron, a look of awe on his face. 'I'm sure it is-try it on.'
Harry threw the cloak around his shoulders and Ron gave a yell.
'It is! Look down!'
Harry looked down at his feet, but they were gone. He dashed to the mirror. Sure enough, his reflection looked back at him, just his head suspended in midair, his body completley invisible. He pulled the cloak over his head and his reflection vanished completley.
'There's a note!' said Ron suddenly. 'A note fell out of it!'
Your father left this in my possesion before
he died. It is time it was returned to you.
Use it well.
A very Merry Christmas to you.
There was no signature. Harry stared at the note. Ron was admiring the cloak.
'I'd give anything for one of these,' he said. 'Anything. What's the matter?"(pages 201and 202)
It was ....
'You!' gasped Harry.
.... smiled. His face wasn't twitching at all.
'But Snape tried to kill me!'
'No, no, no. I tried to kill you.'
'Snape was trying to save me?'
'Of course,' said ... coolly.
'I see the stone... i'm presenting it to my master.. but
where is it?'( pages 288-390)
