Harry: You can’t have met many decent wizards then. Dobby: Offend Dobby? Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but never has he been asked to sit down by a wizard, like an equal. Dobby: Oh, oh, yes, sir! Dobby understands! It’s just that, Dobby has come to tell you- it is difficult, sir- Dobby wonders where to begin? Harry: Why don’t you sit down? Dobby: S-sit down? S-sit- sit down? Harry: Dobby, ssh! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to offend you, or anything. Harry: Not to be to be rude or anything, but this isn’t a great time for me to have a house elf in my bedroom. Dobby: Harry Potter! Such an honor it is! Harry: Who are you? Dobby: Dobby sir, Dobby the house elf. With any luck, this could well be the day I make the biggest deal of my career, and you will not mess it up. And you.? Harry: I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist.

And, Dudley, you will be.? Dudley: I'll be waiting to open the door. Now, let's go over our schedule once again, shall we? Petunia, when the Masons arrive, you will be.? Petunia: In the lounge, waiting to welcome them graciously to our home. We've raised you since you a were a baby, given you the food off our table, even let you have Dudley's second bedroom, purely out of the goodness of our hearts. Dudley: Who would want to be friends with you? Vernon: I should think you'd be a little more grateful. Harry: But I haven't had any messages from any of my friends. Vernon: So you can send secret messages to your freaky little friends? No, sir. If you can't control that bloody bird, it'll have to go.

Besides, if Uncle Vernon- Vernon: Harry Potter! Harry: Now you've done it. I'm not allowed to use magic outside of school. In a Cage Harry: I can't let you out, Hedwig.
