Harry's back home but not for long. After getting home, (and how did he carry all his stuff to his house, from the station? I get a sore arm just carrying groceries home.) and spending a few months lying on his bed reading school work with an owl flying over head, it's time to pack everything up, clear his throat, ξερόβηξε, and ask his Uncle to take him to the station.
Have to admit that the last couple of pages are effective and are one of the reasons I like Harry Potter. When Harry says good-bye to Hagrid and returns to the land of the Muggles, one can feel the ache of returning to the mundane from the world of fantasy.
The sense of wonder and amazement is the pay-off of fantasy and science fiction literature and when a book is firing on all cylinders you feel it in full force. In the next chapter Harry meets Ron and throws money around like real estate agents at a Las Vegas strip club.
