22 J.K. Rowling Facts That Prove She Is ACTUALLY a Magical Human

To fans, King's Cross Station is where Platform 9 3/4 is hidden, and it's an important gateway between the Muggle and wizarding worlds. For J.K. Rowling, it's something pretty special too. On Pottermore, she explains why she always knew this is where Harry would depart for Hogwarts: "King's Cross, which is one of London's main railway stations, has a very personal significance for me, because my parents met on a train to Scotland which departed from King’s Cross station. For this reason, and because it has such an evocative and symbolic name. . . . I never knew the slightest indecision about the location of the portal that would take Harry to Hogwarts, or the means of transport that would take him there."
