Answer: The point of view contributes to how the events are described in the passage because in Harry Potter's point of view, his twelfth birthday was the worse.
Explanation:
For his twelfth birthday, Harry Potter had to stay upstairs in his room making absolutely no noise whatsoever and pretending he didn't exist. He couldn't even use Hedwig, his owl, to send messages to his friends Hermione and Ron because she was locked up by Uncle Vernon. In addition to this, he met Dobby, the house elf, who was on his bed. Dobby ruined Petunia's sumptuous pudding by making it crash to the ground. This (and the owl) causes the Masons, Uncle Vernon's guests, to leave the house. Point of view contributes to these events because in Harry's opinion, being stuck in his room with no form of communication is the worst way to spend his birthday.

(edit) So sorry about the old answer, I didn't catch the part when you said to explain how the writing engages the readers into it. The writer has presented this is a way that engages the readers by putting in all 5 senses, such as "straining to hear the volcano", "sulphurous stench", etc etc. He has also provided extremely descriptive language, and some figurative language as well. He vividly describes whats going on, and it's like you're right there when it's happening. He even includes dialouge, and writes it in 'first person', which is a great way to let the readers imagine what's going on as if they were there. Hope this helps!
