Catching up & Platform 9 3/4

So I’m
behind on updating my site . . . gotta quit that! Can
I blame it on the fact that I went to Ireland and
Wales/England with 37 students and 8 other grown-ups,
plus a tour guide?
When I was there, I got to make a pilgrimage to PLATFORM 9 3/4. I don’t think I’ve mentioned my Harry Potter class, have I? I teach a HP class: all Harry, all semester, 4200 pages, mo fos--watch out! It’s pretty intense, and I’m ready to punch Harry by the time it’s all over, but it’s also a ton of fun. So, you can’t not go to Platform 9 3/4 when you’re in London, right? And it will look just like you imagine it---or how you see it in the films, right?
Riiiiight.
Here’s the only thing we could find:
And here’s the Underground stop for King’s Cross:
And here’s the inside of King’s Cross station:
And that’s it. A friend of mine has a picture of some nice red sign somewhere at King’s Cross that says “Platform 9 3/4” but we couldn’t find it anywhere. No magic left, I guess. : ( Oh well. It’s good to have made the journey.
