Platform Nine and Three-Quarters (Platform 9¾) is a platform at King's Cross Station in London. Magically concealed behind the barrier between Muggle Platforms Nine and Ten, this Platform is where Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students board the Hogwarts Express on 1 September, in order to attend school.
In order for someone to get onto Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, they must walk directly at the apparently solid wall dividing Platforms Nine and Ten.
