Hagrid also reveals that Harry's parents, James and Lily, were killed by a dark wizard named Lord Voldemort. When the abusive Dursleys flatly refuse to allow Harry to open any and flee to an island cabin, Hagrid arrives to personally deliver Harry's acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Ten years later, in 1991, just before Harry's eleventh birthday, the owls begin delivering letters addressed to him. On a night in 1981, Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall, professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, along with groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid, deliver an orphaned wizarding boy named Harry Potter to his Muggle aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley, his only living relatives.
