Platform Nine and Three-Quarters—just the name conjures up an alternate world of
mystery and magic, hidden doors, spells and secret passages. Platform 9 ¾ 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 9 ¾ , 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 9 ¾
by Ugears is a new addition to the Ugears Harry Potterâ„¢ collection (also
featuring DIY wooden mechanical models of the Hogwartsâ„¢ Express, Flying Ford
Angliaâ„¢, Knight Busâ„¢, Hagrid's Flying Motorbikeâ„¢ 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, platform sign, a section of track, and two figurines of Harry and Ron
with luggage trolley and suitcases loaded with their school things. Detailed
decorative cardboard walls complete the realistic design look of the historic
station, with added touches of dark mystery, like a cobweb and rat (Scabbers—is
that you?).
Imagine you have passed through the barrier and are joining
the young wizards on their school adventures as you build and play with this
wooden model train platform from the Harry Potterâ„¢ collection by Ugears! Are you
a young witch or wizard who just bought their first wand at Ollivanders in
Diagon Alley? Which pet have you brought to keep you company during your

wizards on the platform are, and will they be sorted into your same house? This
