Between pages 46-75 In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I think Harry acts very mature, unlike in the movie. He talks to the people in the Leaky Cauldron with out freaking out about all the attention which would take a lot of guts because he was neglected all of his life. He also remembered his manners, like how he didn't interrupt Hagrid when he was reading the paper. He was also mature because he didn't hide when a giant (half-giant)banged down the door and told him that he, Harry, was a wizard. The Dursleys on the other hand did start freaking out, and talked back to Hagrid. That's very rude seeing they don't know him. I really enjoyed Hagrid's reaction to this. He turned Dudley into a pig and yelled at the top of his lugs which I imagined to be pretty loud considering his size. I was surprised the hut didn't fall down, but it gave me a good laugh. I like Hagrid. He is completely the opposite of what you would expect from someone so large. You would normally expect him to be tough and able to take anything, being stereotypical, but he was really nice to Harry and got car sick on the way to the volt in Gringotts. I kept forgetting how large he really was.
