Platform Nine and Three-Quarters—just the name conjures up an alternate world of mystery and magic, hidden doors, spells, and secret passages. Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station in London is where the young witches and wizards in the Harry Potter series of books and movies board the Hogwarts Express train every September 1 at eleven o'clock to travel to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as seen in the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." But to get to Platform 9¾, the students (and their luggage carts) had to first dash through a solid barrier between platforms 9 and 10, without attracting the attention of any nearby Muggles.
The enchanting wooden model Platform 9¾ by Ugears is a new addition to the Ugears Harry Potter™ collection (also featuring DIY wooden mechanical models of the Hogwarts™ Express, Flying Ford Anglia™, Knight Bus™, Hagrid's Flying Motorbike™, and Advent Calendar). This attractive train platform model is a static display that replicates the Victorian era look of King's Cross station with its beautiful brickwork and ceiling arch. The model includes a two-sided platform with upward curving arches, a platform sign, a section of track, and two figurines of Harry and Ron with a luggage trolley and suitcases loaded with their school things. Detailed decorative cardboard walls complete the realistic design look of the historic station.
