To add to his misery Harry Potter thinks his pals Ron and Hermione have not contacted him all summer. All seems lost when suddenly a house-elf named Dobby magically appears in Harry's bedroom. Dobby explains to Harry of his efforts to thwart Harry's return to Hogwarts. He adds that Harry is in extreme danger and that he has gone as far as to block Ron and Hermione's attempted correspondence. Harry is determined to get back to Hogwarts. He is finally broken out by Ron and the other Weasley brothers in their flying family car. The time comes to return to Hogwarts when suspiciously Ron and Harry are blocked from entry to Platform 9 3/4. What to do? How to get back to Hogwarts in time wonder Harry Potter and Ron.
