Lesson 3-2: Bargaining Truth, and Aunt Marge's Big Mistake


Listen Later

Turn to Page 16, Aunt Marge’s Big Mistake. Today’s lesson is called Bargaining Truth

The chapter begins with Harry finding out that Aunt Marge, Vernon’s sister, will be staying at Number 4 Privet Drive. This is a dreadful realization for Harry, because Aunt Marge delights in harassing and abusing Harry, rather than ignoring his existence like the other Dursleys. Harry manages a negotiation with Uncle Vernon whereby he behaves and goes along with the lies Vernon has told Marge, and in exchange Harry will get his permission slip for Hogsmeade signed.

Harry’s resistance to Marge’s abuses lasts until the final day, when she concludes that James Potter, Harry’s father, must have been an awful person to have had an offspring like Harry. This causes Harry to have an outburst of anger, and magic channels through that anger to blow Aunt Marge up like a balloon. Harry immediately decides that his best recourse is to runaway, so he hurriedly packs his things and leaves the house.
