DUMBLEDORE: I should've known that you would be here, Professor McGonagall.

MCGONAGALL: Good evening, Professor Dumbledore.

                         Are the rumors true, Albus?

DUMBLEDORE: I'm afraid so, professor. The good and the bad.

MCGONAGALL: And the boy?

DUMBLEDORE: Hagrid is bringing him.

MCGONAGALL: Is it wise to trust Hagrid with something so important?

DUMBLEDORE: Professor, I would trust Hagrid with my life.

HAGRID: Professor Dumbledore, sir. Professor McGonagall.

DUMBLEDORE: No problems, I trust, Hagrid?

HAGRID: No, sir.

             Little tyke fell asleep as we were flying over Bristol.

             Try not to wake him.

             There you go.

MCGONAGALL: Do you really think it's sefe, leaving him with these people?

                         I've watched them all day. They're the worst sort of Muggles.

                         They really are ...

DUMBLEDORE: The only family he has.

MCGONAGALL: He'll be famous. Every child in our world will know his name.

DUMBLEDORE: Exactly.

                         He's far better off growing up away from all of that.

                         Until he's ready.

                         There, there, Hagrid. It's not really goodbye, after all.

                         Good luck ...

                         ... Harry Potter.


I should've known that you would be here, Professor McGonagall. (Vedeti bi moral, da boste tu, profesorica McHudurra.)
Good evening, Professor Dumbledore. (Dober večer, prof. Dumbledore.)
Are the rumors true, Albus? (Je res, kar se govori, Albus?)
I'm afraid so, professor. The good and the bad. (Bojim se, da je, profesorica. Dobro in slabo.)
And the boy? (Kaj pa deček?)
Hagrid is bringing him. (Hagrid ga bo pripeljal.)
Is it wise to trust Hagrid with something so important? (Mu je pametno zaupati kaj tako pomembnega?)
Professor, I would trust Hagrid with my life. (Ah, profesorica, Hagridu bi zaupal lastno življenje.)
Professor Dumbledore, sir. Professor McGonagall. (Profesor Dumbledore. Profesorica McHudurra.)
No problems, I trust, Hagrid? (Upam, da ni bilo težav?)
No, sir. (Ne.)
Little tyke fell asleep as we were flying over Bristol. (Navihanček je zaspal, ko sva letela nad Bristolom.)
Try not to wake him. (Ne zbudite ga.)
There you go.
Do you really think it's sefe, leaving him with these people? (Res mislite, da ga je varno pustiti pri teh ljudeh?)
I've watched them all day. They're the worst sort of Muggles. (Ves dan sem jih opazovala. Najslabša vrsta bunkeljnov.)
They really are ... (Res.)
The only family he has. (Njegovi edini sorodniki so.)
He'll be famous. Every child in our world will know his name. (Ta fant bo slaven. Ne bo otroka, ki ne bi poznal njegovega imena.)
Exactly. (Tako je.)
He's far better off growing up away from all of that. (Veliko bolje zanj, če odrašča proč od tega.)
Until he's ready. (Dokler ni pripravljen.)
There, there, Hagrid. It's not really goodbye, after all. (No, no, Hagrid. Še se bosta videla.)
Mr. and Mrs. V. Dursley, 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. (Gospod in gospa Dursley, Rožmarinova 4, Spod. Stokets.)
Good luck ... (Srečno,)
