The book starts out with Harry at his aunt and uncle's house. Of course it is known that Harry cannot stand that house because they have always treated him as if he did not exist. He has to stay up late at night to do the homework that he is required to have finished before returning to Hogwarts. With the slightest noise he makes, he risks being thrown in the attic.
One mornign he wakes to the news that his Aunt Marge is coming to visit. Like his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, she loathes Harry and thinks of him as a waste of space and a burden to Petunia and Vernon. Vernon makes Harry promise to say that he is attending a school for criminals. Harry tries to sweeten the deal by saying that he will be good if his uncle signs a permission form for Hogsmede.
When Aunt Marge comes, she constantly yells at Harry and dimishes him to the size of an ant. At one point he gets so extremely mad at her that he accidendtly blows her up and she starts floating in the air. He runs out of the house with his luggage for Hogwarts and terrified that the Ministry of Magic will be looking for him.
