Hermione and Diagon alley (was Re: Favorite Scene for HP Movie)

No: HPFGUIDX 10879

Has anyone else wondered how Hermione got to Diagon Alley the first time - to 
buy her books and all that? She didn't have Hagrid to lead her, nor a wand to 
open the back wall of the Leaky Cauldron .....

Back on e-mail .... very happy .... only 500 + post to read <g>

Yes, yes, yes! And the scenery too, although we'll be missing the
descriptive words JKR uses to talk about what things look like (is
squashy the most perfect word to describe an armchair or what!?) ~ I
guess that's why books are usually better than the movie though...but
to see the castle from the boats when they are being led by Hagrid,
or the classrooms, or even Dudley's room...
