King's Cross Station

Harry Potter Alert! We went to King's Cross Station today and it was filled with muggles,

as Molly Weasley said! We saw the sign that said Platforms 9-11 to the left...so left we went and found a huge line outside. There was a smaller line for Platform 9 3/4...filled with folks waiting to have their picture taken with any color Hogwarts scarf they wanted.

There are a few problems with this picture...see the wand---if you are a wizard, you cannot show your wand when there are muggles around...also, the Platform number only exists AFTER you cross the barrier, not before. But since we are muggles this will have to do.

We've been reading about King's Cross in the Harry Potter saga since the books came out. It was great fun to see the "real" thing! It's also amazing to think how much a set of 7 books have captured the imaginaton of so many people.
