The only thing I've heard about this is that they shot the couple of 
mentions of the ___________ Stone twice, since they committed 
themselves to two titles.  Dumb idea not to just call the 
movie "Philosopher's Stone" everywhere, if you ask me, but they 
didn't (WB just has NOT been returning my calls lately . . . and 
after all our lunches!).

Did they say whether a lot of people come along and try to push 
through the barrier?

I also picture something like a brick wall.  I know that isn't what 
it looks like at all, but I can't help it.  My interior picture of 
the station is totally inconsistent and nonsensical--sort of a Boston 
T platform in which the "barrier" is actually the cinderblock wall at 
the end of the platform, the bit that if you followed it around the 
corner, you'd be walking right into the tunnel . . . I know, it 
doesn't make any sense, since there is no platform on the other 
side.  Four Privet Drive looks like my childhood home in my head, 
too, despite many bits about halls and fireplaces that make that 
picture impossible.
