Presumably 11 (as Harry, Ron and Hermione were in their first year), James Sirius caught the Hogwarts Express from Platform Nine and Three Quarters on September 1, the very date that his dad had caught it in 1991. Potter fans will know that there's still a year or two to go to the '19 years later' epilogue, in which it is James Sirius' younger brother Albus Severus being seen off at King's Cross by his family.
JK Rowling was silent on whether there was a farewell committee for James, but thrilled Harry Potter fans leapt in to fill the gap: Just in case you were worried, James Sirius was safely Sorted into Gryffindor, just like his parents, which was not to the liking of Teddy Lupin, son of the deceased Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin and, it appears, Head Boy of Hufflepuff.
