Alright so the book is flying by pretty quickly. At the beginning of Chapter 9 the Gryffindor's and the Slytherin's are in the same flying class. So to sum this up Neville loses control of his broom and falls from a great height breaking his wrist (in the movie they greatly exaggerate this part from what happened in the book), Malfoy picks up Neville's rememberal (glows red if you've forgotten something). Anyway Malfoy starts flying with the broomstick taunting Harry, Harry goes after him. Malfoy throws the rememberal and Harry goes after it to catch it. Harry must make a terrifying dive to catch it. In which he does right in front of Professor McGonagall's window. So she comes down and fetches Potter (remember that the flying instructor said that if anybody is caught flying they'd be instantly expelled). Potter is rewarded becoming the new seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch, where Harry meets the captain, Oliver Wood. In the movie Harry is sent a Nimbus 2000 the newest broomstick model at his table from an anonomous person. But in the book it is sent to him and he must open it away from every one because knowing that 1st years aren't allowed to have broomsticks, and it was sent by McGonagall. One more thing this part in the movie is not till after the Halloween incident. Which obviously happens before in the book. So next Malfoy challenges Harry to a duel at midnight in the trophy room in the book. So obviously Harry and Ron go. Hermoine follows because she is trying to convince them not to, and Neville goes along too because once they leave the common room, Neville is laying on the ground because he couldn't remember the new password. But it turns out that Malfoy lied and Filch was trying to catch them which he never did. But in the mean time, the 4 of them go into the room that Dumbledore explained at the beginning of the year not to go into. But there is a 3 headed dog in there. In the movie Harry, Ron and Hermoine were together, going to the common room and the stairs switch on them. Which they go through the door finding the 3 headed dogs, trying to hide from Filch's cat.
In chapter 10 in the beginning, Harry gets his broomstick. And the class in Charms start learning a spell called Wingardium Leviosa, which is a levitation spell. Later Quirrell runs into the Great Hall, Halloween night. Yelling that there is a troll in the dungeon. Harry and Ron are on their way to the Gryffindor common room when they remember that Hermoine is in the girls bathroom crying (shes been in there all day, because Ron was talking bad about her and she overheard). Anyways when they get there the troll is in there trying to attack Hermoine. So to make a long story short. Harry sticks his wand up the trolls nose, and Ron uses Wingardium Leviosa to drop the trolls club on its head, knocking it out. Moments later McGonagall, Snape, and Quirrell (surprisingly the same people in the movie), walked in and McGonagall was furious. Hermoine lied saying that she had gone after the troll to get Harry and Ron out of trouble. McGonagall take 5 points, then awards Harry and Ron 5 points for being brave to take on a fully grown Mountain troll and surviving. From that point on Ron and Harry were officially Hermoine's friend. Something I want to add. They treat Hermoine like crap. They both make bad comments and don't care about her feelings. You'd think that since Harry was grown up with that, that he'd know how it feels to do it to somebody else. Just sayin'
