Platform 9 3/4






After purchasing their supplies at Diagon Alley, the kids went through the side door which had a "King's Cross Station" sign on it. Then they turned into the front hall, where the signs 9 and 10 were taped on either side of the front door, which was open and had brick-printed paper over the doorway. We cut a slit up the middle of the paper so the kids could run through it and onto the front porch, which was the platform. There they handed over their tickets and did a short trivia game while they waited for everyone to finish shopping.




Then the Hogwarts Express set off. Basically the counselors led the kids around the block. On the way down we did "Indian Run" (but we didn't call in that), which is where you have a ball and you pass it over your head to the person behind you as you walk or run. On the way back we played "Red Light, Green Light" with "Stupefy" and "Rennervate."
