School caretaker Argus Filch (David Bradley) brings them before Potions Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), who shows them them the sightings of the car on the Evening Prophet and threatens to have them expelled.

Ron's wand is damaged and the semi-sentient car ejects them with their belongings before disappearing into the Forbidden Forest. As a loophole, however, the two boys instead fly to Hogwarts in the Ford Anglia, which unfortunately runs out of fuel for its Invisibility Booster when it catches up to the train (allowing the "flying car" to be seen by numerous Muggles) and crashes into the Whomping Willow on the school grounds. The trio and Weasley children head to Platform 9¾ at King's Cross to take the Hogwarts Express back to school, but Dobby seals the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 on Harry and Ron and makes them miss the train. After the signing, the trio run into their school rival Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) and his father, chief Hogwarts governor Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs), who manages to slip a diary into Ginny's belongings while arguing with Mr Weasley about the latter's recent Muggle Protection Act for the Ministry. After a pleasant stay together in the Weasley home, the Burrow, Harry accompanies the family on a trip through the Floo Network to buy some first year school supplies for Ron's younger sister Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright) in Diagon Alley, where they encounter Hermione and Hogwarts half- giant gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) while attending a book signing at Flourish and Blotts for flamboyant celebrity author Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh), who is recently appointed to teach at Hogwarts as the school's new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor. The next night, Ron and his older brothers Fred and George (James and Oliver Phelps), come to Harry's rescue in an enchanted Ford Anglia belonging to their father, Head of the Ministry of Magic's Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office Arthur Weasley (Mark Williams). Robbed of this one chance that could've been the turning point of his career as director of the drill company Grunnings, Vernon imprisons Harry by fitting bars onto his bedroom window to restrict him from returning to Hogwarts for his second year as punishment. But Harry ignores the warning and is determined to seize the letters, so Dobby, seeing that he will have to use force, heads downstairs and destroys a large cake that Petunia has baked for an important dinner party which Vernon is holding downstairs for the family of his client Mr Mason (Jim Norton) by the use of a Hover Charm, dropping it on Mrs Mason's (Veronica Clifford) head. On the evening of his twelfth birthday (July 31), he is visited in his room and warned that he will be in mortal danger if he returns to Hogwarts by a house-elf named Dobby (Toby Jones), who reveals that he has intercepted all of the letters to make it seem as though Harry's friends had forgotten him, hoping that it will then dissuade Harry from returning. In 1992, shortly after the end of his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the first film, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) spends a dreadful summer at the Dursleys' house without being allowed to use magic outside of school nor receiving any letters from his new friends, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), both of whom he is unable to contact because neither his Aunt Petunia (Fiona Shaw) nor Uncle Vernon (Richard Griffiths) would allow their nephew's pet owl Hedwig out of her padlocked cage.
