[At King's Cross Station, up on a crossing bridge, Harriet, with her cart of his baggage, equipment and Hedwig, walks beside Hagrid. A couple look at Hagrid, suspiciously.]

Hagrid: What're you looking at? [He then checks watch] Blimey, is that the time? Sorry, Harriet, I'm gonna have to leave you. Dumbledore will be wanting his, uh... well, he'll be wanting to see me. Now, uh, your train leaves in 10 minutes. Here's your ticket. [hands the train ticket] Stick to it, Harriet, that's very important. Stick to your ticket.

[Harriet looks at her ticket.]

Harriet: "Platform 9¾?" But, Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says Platform 9¾. There's no such thing, is there? [Harriet looks up, but we now see that Hagrid has vanished and Harriet all alone with her cart.]

Klaus : So he just leaves you there
Harriet : Yes

[Harriet is walking down a lane between trains. A man rushes by.]

Man: Sorry.

[Harry sees a guard.]

Harriet: Excuse me, excuse me.

Guard: Right on your left, madam.

Harriet: Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where I might find Platform 9¾?

Guard: [incredulous] 9¾? Think you're being funny, do ya? [he walks off, muttering] "9¾."

Tom : Baby you asked a muggle guard for the direction
Harriet : No

Tom just shakes his head...

[Harriet then notices a woman, daughter, and four boys walk by, pushing carts.]

Mrs. Weasley: It's the same year after year. Always packed with Muggles, of course.

Harriet: Muggles?

Mrs. Weasley: Come on. Platform 9¾ this way! All right, Percy, you first.
[A tall boy with red hair, called Percy, comes forward and runs towards a brick wall. Amazingly, he disappears right into it. Harriet is amazed.]

Mrs. Weasley: Fred, you next.

George: He's not Fred, I am!

Fred: Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother.

Mrs. Weasley: Oh, I'm sorry, George.

[Fred moves towards the wall]

Fred: I'm only joking. I am Fred. [He runs through the wall and is followed by his twin brother. Harriet shakes his head in disbelief.]

Kol (looking at the Weasley twins) : you guys are so funny
Do you guys do pranks?
Fread : Yes we do

Harriet: Excuse me! C-could you tell me how to...?

Mrs. Weasley: How to get on the platform? Yes, not to worry, dear. It's Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well. [pan to a red haired boy, called Ron, who smiles] Now, all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous.

Ginny: Good luck.

[Harriet takes a breath and runs at the wall. She shuts her eyes and emerges on the other side a magnificent station at Platform 9¾ with a red train, which is the Hogwarts Express, and bundles of people. A whistle blows, and Harriet sighs with relief.]

Bonnie : This is Hogwarts train
Luna : Yes
Bonnie : It's so awesome, the feeling of magic
Kol : Harriet can i go with you to Hogwarts
Harriet : Of course you can kol
