Book 1 question

I am taking a Litterature for children class and the teacher has us read SS. 
Now, as we have all read the book a million times I feel we are the experts. 
My teacher tells us, "I only read the book for this class, and I only read the 
first book." Would you want your children having a teacher like this? a) 
Whether you like it or not, you read all 5 books and b) you are supposed to like 
the books, but no one is forcing them down your throat. She says shes trying to 
get a few children books published, but if she thinks she knows anything then 
I'd suggest reading the books. I think it is disgraceful of her to act so 
nonchalantly about this.

Now here is my question, and I think a direct response to me would reach me 
better, but this is what I wanted to know. At what point does Harry enter the 
magical wold? My teacher (the expert) seems to think that it was when he steps 
onto the platform 9 3/4. I wrote a 23 page paper on this book for my Comp 2 
class and I wrote that Harry's crossing of the threshold was the opening of the 
door in Diagon Alley. A stupid sorority girl yelled at me when I suggested 
this and said, "I read all the books, and I know what I'm talking about." Maybe 
there are some people that shouldn't read the book.
