However, he is unable to access Platform Nine and Three-Quarters to catch the Hogwarts Express due to a barrier at King's Cross Station. Harry and Ron subsequently use Ron's father's flying car to reach Hogwarts, narrowly avoiding being seen by Muggles (non-magical people).Once at Hogwarts, strange occurrences begin to happen. Students are found petrified, seemingly by a creature lurking in the school. Harry begins to hear mysterious voices that no one else can hear.
