In the book, the Dursleys and Harry are accompanied to the zoo by Dudley's friend Piers Polkiss.In the film, it was Uncle Vernon who counted the presents, and while the count remains at 36, Dudley had 37 presents last year instead of 38. When Dudley counts the presents in the book, he says there are 36 and that is two less than last year, although Aunt Petunia then shows him the present he has missed out.In the film, when Albus Dumbledore leaves Harry Potter on the doorstep of the Dursleys' house, he says, "Good luck, Harry Potter." In the book, he just says, "Good luck, Harry." This is likely because of the aforementioned omissions.Also there is no reference to where Hagrid got the motorbike from in the films, however in the books Dumbledore asks Hagrid about this, to which he replies "young Sirius Black".In the books there is a moment when Dumbledore and McGonagall are discussing about Voldemort’s name and McGonagall then builds up the courage to say it instead of "You-Know-Who".Assuming that the number of street lamps is the same this leaves 7 lights still on in the film, thus giving reference to the magical number of Seven. Dumbledore uses his Deluminator 5 times in the film however in the book he clicks it 12 times.While this scene was omitted from the film, it was referenced when McGonagall voiced her objections in leaving Harry in the Dursley's care when she said she had "watched them all day". At the start of the novel, Minerva McGonagall in her Animagus form had been observing Vernon Dursley prior to her meeting with Dumbledore and Hagrid.The peculiar "shooting stars" that was reported by the weatherman.The "changed sleeping pattern" of the nations owls who have been flying in daytime across Britain.Vernon Dursley noticing Minerva McGonagall in her Animagus form earlier in the day, thinking she was reading a map as well as the Privet Drive sign.Vernon Dursley's day at Grunnings and his encounter with the wizards during his lunch break on the day before Harry arrived.

As a result, everything that precedes this point in the book is omitted in the film, which includes:


Peeves, as depicted in concept art for the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 1.
