The scene
What happened at King’s Cross Station
Harry is lost at King’s Cross until the Weasleys show him how to run at the barrier between platforms nine and ten.
The scenes were actually filmed between platforms 4 and 5, which have a brick archway. Several establishing shots used the grander facade of St Pancras next door.
Then & Now
On location today
A Platform 9¾ sign and a trolley half-disappearing into the wall stand in the station concourse, next to a Harry Potter shop.
Line up the shot
Hold the trolley handle with a scarf flying (staff can help) and look back over your shoulder.
