Zoo

"Wake up, cousin! We're going to the zoo!"

- Dudley Dursley

The London Zoo is were Harry Potter discovered that he was able to speak to snakes, and accidentally released a boa constrictor to Brazil when he made the glass of its cage vanish using Underage magic. He also inadvertently trapped his cousin in the snake's cage as well.

Behind the scenes

 * The name of the zoo is only seen in the movie. In the novel however, when Hagrid takes Harry from the Dursleys to get his school supplies in Diagon Alley, it's stated that Harry had never been to London before.
 * In the book, Dudley and Piers jump back when the glass vanishes. In the film, Dudley falls into the tank and is trapped when the glass reappears.
