Station platforms 9¾

Platform 9¾ is a fictional train platform at King's Cross Station in London, featured in J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series. It serves as the departure point for the Hogwarts Express, the train that takes young witches and wizards to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The platform is hidden and can only be accessed by running directly at a barrier between platforms 9 and 10, illustrating the blend of the magical and mundane in the story. Today, a dedicated photo spot and a shop celebrate this iconic location, capturing the imagination of fans worldwide.
