After arriving at school the students assemble in the Great Hall, where all the first-years are sorted by the Sorting Hat among four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Harry is then taken to King's Cross station to board a train to Hogwarts, where he meets three other students: Ron Weasley, whom he quickly befriends Hermione Granger, an intelligent witch born to Muggle parents and Draco Malfoy, a boy from a wealthy wizarding family, with whom he immediately clashes. Harry, the only survivor in the chaos, thus becomes well-known in the wizarding world as "The Boy Who Lived". After taking Harry to Diagon Alley to buy his supplies for Hogwarts and a pet owl named Hedwig as a birthday present, Hagrid informs him of his past: Harry's parents James and Lily Potter met their demise via a Killing Curse at the hands of the malevolent and all-powerful wizard: Lord Voldemort. After the Dursleys escape to an island to avoid more letters, Hagrid re-appears and informs Harry that he is actually a wizard and has been accepted into Hogwarts against the Dursleys' wishes. After inadvertently causing an accident during a family trip to the zoo, Harry begins receiving unsolicited letters by owls. Ten years later, Harry has been battling a disjointed life with the Dursleys.
