Questions to ponder

There are many kinds of people in this world:  those who do not 
care about Harry Potter, those who are entertained by Harry Potter, 
and those who live and breathe Harry Potter!  I said "many kinds" 
instead of "three kinds" because I welcome addition to this list!
     I am somewhere in transistion between the second and the third!  
I am in awe of the intellect and writing skills of many members of 
this group!  My friends and I have focused on characters, plot, and 
movie comparisons and not so much on broad philosophical topics such 
as women's roles in society and the enslavemnt of the house-elves.
     Two questions to ponder for fun:  (One)What do you think Dudley 
heard when the dementors came after him at the beginning of OotP? and 
(Two) How did other muggle-born wizards learn where to buy their 
school supplies and how to get onto Platform 9 and 3/4 once they 
received their Hogwarts' letters?  Harry would not have known how to 
do any of this without Hagrid or the chance meeting with the Weasley 
family.  How did Hermione or Colin Creevey manage?
