[HPforGrownups] What's the platform number?

[Christian Stubø]

No: HPFGUIDX 6420

Answering before I have seen if anyone else have answered this, I
suspect that the capacity of the Hogwarts express at any given time is
equal to the need.  I suspect that a simiar type of magic is at play in
the common-rooms and dorms of the different houses at Hogwarts.  'If
rooms at Hogwarts can appear and dissappear at random, or at will (such
as the room of bedpans Dumbledore mentioned at the banquet of the Yule
ball), then the Hogwarts express can easily adapt to the needs.
