[HPforGrownups] What's the platform number?

[Simon Biber]

No: HPFGUIDX 6416

Hi everyone, I'm new here too.

The trains around here probably take about 750 people by my calculation
(each carriage has top and bottom, left and right, and about 12 rows of
two-person seats in each of those 4 orientations. That makes 12*2*4 = 96
people in a carriage and we have eight carriages in a train, so 768 total.

I would say that adding other fractional platform numbers is stretching it,
to me it was quite clear that all Hogwarts students and former-students knew
about 9.75.
