Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (Dir: Chris Columbus, 2001).

Platform 4, Kings Cross Station, Kings Cross, London, England.

Another important location in both the Harry Potter books and the film is the legendary magical Platform 9 ¾ at Kings Cross Station, where the Hogwarts Express departs from. In the film Harry, Ron and the Weasley family run full pelt into the arch between Platform 4 and 5 at King Cross only to magically disappear straight through - but don’t try it there now, trust me…you’ll get nothing but strange looks… The external shots of Kings Cross were actually shot at St. Pancras Station, St. Pancras, London, which apparently looks more like Kings Cross should look? At the other end of the journey is Hogsmead Station or Goathland on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
