Having lost his temper with his Aunt Marge and inadvertently caused her to magically inflate, Harry Potter takes the Knight Bus to The Leaky Cauldron, where he meets Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic. Fudge informs Harry that Aunt Marge has been deflated and that he will not be punished. The Ministry of Magic is simply concerned about Harry's safety due to the escape of mass-murderer Sirius Black from the wizarding prison Azkaban. Black was a great friend of the Potter family and was Harry's godfather, but betrayed the family to the evil Lord Voldemort. Voldemort killed Harry's parents but mysteriously vanished when he tried to kill Harry. Afterward, Black murdered the Potters' friend Peter Pettigrew along with 12 bystanders.
Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and find security has been tightened because of Black's escape. The grounds are now guarded by Dementors, dark, sinister beings that drain the happiness of anyone nearby and guard Azkaban prison. They also cause Harry to hear his parents' last moments and pass out. Remus Lupin, the school's new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, tells Harry he is more vulnerable to the Dementors because he has seen genuine horrors in his past. He agrees to teach Harry the Patronus Charm, a shield against the Dementors.
