King's Cross Station is a train station in the Harry Potter book series. It is a Muggle train station in England that magically-conceals Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. Every 1 September and during holidays, the station is visited by many witches and wizards heading to and from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
History[]
In September 1991, the Dursley family abandoned Harry Potter at the station and didn't help when he was searching for Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. He asked a Muggle guard for help but he had no idea. He was eventually found by the Weasley family who taught him how to run through the barrier between platform nine and platform ten by running at the wall that had a ticket-box in front of it.[1]
