Harry Potter has not had a good summer. Not only has he had to put up with his overbearing Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley and their dread of his magical abilities, but it seems as if Harry‘s best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger have forgotten him – as they haven‘t replied to a single one of his letters. Then, suddenly and mysteriously, house–elf Dobby appears in Harry‘s bedroom and warns of great danger if the aspiring wizard should attempt to return to Hogwarts.
