- "Today's your birthday, how come you haven't got any cards? Haven't you even got friends at that freak place?"
- —Dudley Dursley mocks Harry Potter[src]
Harry Potter's twelfth birthday was wildly ignored by his uncle, aunt, and cousin, although Dudley did remember his birthday and mocked him for it.[1] On this day, Dobby the house-elf arrived and warned Harry not to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When Harry refused, Dobby took it upon himself to try and keep Harry safe, using a Hover Charm to smash a pudding in the Dursleys' kitchen.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
In the film version, Dobby drops the cake on the head of Mrs. Mason, to the same effect as in the book.
