My favorite part of this book is when Harry has to go to platform 9 3/4. At the train station Harry has to ask everyone where the platform is, but they all say there is no such thing. That's where Harry meets Ron and his family. They show him to the platform. Everybody except Harry and the Weaslys (at the train station) are Muggles. This book reminds me of when my brother always used to get me in trouble. In the beginning of this book, Harry's cousin, Dudley, always got Harry in trouble, just like what happened to me. Dudley was very nosy, spoiled, and mean. That made Harry very depressed. After Harry got to Hogwarts he changed. Instead of depressed he was now adventurous and daring. When you read this book you will see how much and why Harry changed.
I recommend this book to people who enjoy reading magical and humorous books. It's like a mystery book too. I think you should read this book to see what it's like being a wizard.
