@Super: Remember that "black thing on the platform" you thought was a barrel? That's meant to be a trolley with Hedwig (Harry's pet snowy owl) in her cage on top of Harry's luggage.
The real King's Cross station has a sign for the fictional platform on the wall between platforms 9 and 10, as well as the rear end of a "disappearing" trolley for photo opportunities. They even used to have a September tradition where the departure boards would list Hogwarts among the real stations, and a bunch of costumed Potterheads would gather to re-enact the scene/s where the wizards and witches board the Express.
