Background

Stan Shunpike is the conductor for the Knight Bus in England.

During the events of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) played by Lee Ingleby

Harry Potter sits down on the edge of a sidewalk and a bus pulls up and Stan tells Harry about the Knight Bus for stranded wizards and witches. Harry gets on board and Ernie The Bus Driver starts the bus again. As they are driving, Shrunken Head gives out commentary and warns of incoming obstructions. Harry sees Stan reading a newspaper with the headline about an escaped prisoner from Azkaban and Stan tells him the escapee is Sirius Black. The bus pulls up at the Leaky Cauldron and Tom The Innkeeper helps Harry with his luggage.
