Harry Potter was born into a family of wizards, but when he was only a baby his parents were killed by the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. Harry had almost been killed by Voldemort as well, but miraculously he survived, and was left with nothing but a memory of his parents and a scar on his forehead the shape of a lightning bolt. Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where Harry’s parents had once attended, was very close to Harry’s parents and when they passed away he had no choice but to give Harry to his only relatives: the Dursley’s. These people were the most rude, selfish, ungrateful human-beings possible, and Harry was stuck with them. Anything to do with magic they detested and they would never allow for it to get out that they had a witch for a sister, and now had a wizard for a nephew.

When he returns from the movies he mentions the magician’s trick “We nailed him into a coffin and he got out of the coffin without removing one nail. “ The magicians trick juxtaposes with Tom’s inability to escape from his family. Juxtaposition is used here to show the freedom of the magician and Tom feeling trapped. The coffin represents Tom’s life to which he is confined and the nails symbolize the emotional constraints and an obligation Tom has towards his crippled sister Laura. Laura herself “lives in a world of her own—a world of—little glass ornaments” and the breaking of the animals by Tom foreshadows his abandonment of fraternal duties towards her.
