The Story Content of Chapter 8 in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone:

Harry's life at Hogwarts gradually unfolded, and the students began to recognize him, pointing and staring at him with curiosity and attention. Harry also started his Potions class and met Professor Snape, the Potions teacher, for the first time, but they didn't like each other.

One day, Harry decided to visit Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts. There, Harry learned of an important piece of news: Gringotts had been broken into illegally. This news shocked Harry and piqued his curiosity.

At Hogwarts, Harry experienced many strange phenomena. There were 142 staircases of various kinds in the school, some spacious and clean, some narrow and shaky, and some that would lead to a different place on a certain Friday. The doors here were also unique, and they wouldn't open unless you politely asked them or tickled them in the right place. Even more strangely, some doors weren't doors at all, but solid walls disguised as doors. The portraits on the walls would also visit each other and change positions, adding to the school's sense of mystery.

Additionally, Harry encountered the ghosts, including the particularly annoying Peeves, the Poltergeist. Peeves liked to create locked doors and trick staircases, throwing wastebaskets, pulling rugs out from under people's feet, throwing chalk at them, or sneaking up behind them, pinching their noses silently and suddenly, and then screaming, "Got your nose!"

The caretaker Argus Filch and his cat Mrs. Norris played an important role in maintaining school rules and enforcing punishments. After the dinner, the new students were assigned to their dormitories, spent their first night at the school, and began their school life.
