he put harry's wand bato its box a in brown
paper, still muttering, ”curious... curious..
”sorry,” said harry, ”but what's curious?”
mr. ollivander fixed harry with his pale stare.
”i remember every wand i've ever sold, mr. potter. every single
wand. it so happens that the phoeail feather is in your
waher feather -- just o is very curious
i you should be destihis was brother
why, its brave you that scar.”
harry swallowed.
”yes, thirteen-and-a-half inches. yew. deed how these
thihe wahe wizard, remember.... i think
we must expect great things from you, mr. potter.... after all, he-
who-must-not-be-named did great things -- terrible, yes, but great.”
harry shivered. he wasn't sure he liked mr. ollivaoo
much. he paid seven gold galleons for his wand, and mr. ollivander
bowed them from his shop.
the late afternoon sun hung low in the sky as harry and hagrid
made their way ba diagohrough the wall, back
through the leaky pty. harry didn't speak at all
as they walked down the road; he didiuch people
were gawkihe undergrouhey were with all
their funny-shaped packages, with the sno in its
harry's lap. up aor, out into paddington station; harry
only realized where they were ed him on the shoulder.

to find the words.
”everyohinks i'm special,” he said at last. ”all those people
in the leaky , professor quirrell, mr. olliva i
don't know anything about magic at all. how they expect great
things? i'm famous and i 't eve i'm famous for. i
don't knoened when vol-, sorry -- i mea my

hagrid leaned across the table. behind the wild beard and
eyebrows he wore a very kind smile.
”don' you worry, harry. you'll learn fast enough. everyone
starts at the beginning at hogwarts, you'll be just fi
be yerself. i know it's hard. yeh've bee, an' that's
always hard. but yeh'll have a great time at hogwarts -- i did --

hagrid helped harry ohat would take him back
