Philosopher's Stone
Chapter Six
The Journey From Platform Nine
and Three-Quarters
Summary:
Harry travels to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, where he cannot figure
out how to get onto the platform. Fortunately, help soon arrives when Harry hears a red-haired woman talking to her children
about Muggles. Mrs. Weasley shows Harry how to get on, and he meets Fred and George shortly afterword on the train. The youngest
boy, Ron, asks to sit with Harry, since there were no other empty compartments. They soon become good friends, exchanging
bits of information about their families. Harry finds out that Ron has five older brothers (Bill, Charlie, Percy,.Fred, and
George) and a younger sister (Ginny). They also meet Hermione and (informally) Neville. The chapter closes with Hagrid knocking
on the glass doors which lead from the cave into Hogwarts.
