In this episode, we design the second episode of the first season of our Tea Leaves series. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

·      1:48 Recap of Season 1, Episode 1

·      3:55 We open with Vernon and Petunia finding Harry. They make the decision to keep them in, and I want to see what they were thinking when making that choice. Harry is their family, so they couldn’t just turn him away, right? Perhaps Petunia has to tell Vernon more of her life story.

·      10:06 Harry’s childhood. We should spend a little time looking at his infancy, and moving into his schooling as a young kid. Perhaps there are strange happenings with the magical things surrounding him.

·      17:42 Now, Harry is ten years old. This is where the film opens in the present day. It’s best to have a clear line between the past and the present so there’s no confusion between his muggle life and his wizard life. Dudley’s birthday and the zoo scenes are super important, so we should keep them pretty close to how they appear in the books and films.

·      25:55 The letters start arriving now, and Vernon has to nail the post flap shut. He is fighting the war against the letters from Hogwarts, a battle he loses. When the fireplace scene happens, Vernon decides to go far away, and they go to the hut on the rock. Hagrid breaks down the door just like he does in the films, and tells Harry, “Harry, you’re a wizard.”
