During his shopping for school supplies with Hagrid, he learns that his social status (Lifespan Development p.260) has significantly improved. Harry is so popular in the wizarding world that everyone knew his name. On the train to school, Harry meets his two friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

At his first quidditch match, he improves his self-esteem (Lifespan Development p. 250) by catching the golden snitch and winning the quidditch match.
