Geoff:
I'm interested in your comments on King's Cross and how JKR has mixed 
up the station with another.

I know that in the film, they used exterior shots of St.Pancras which 
is right next to KX but used the correct interior shots. I have one 
or two suspicions in canon about the station - particularly about the 
platform numbering - but would like to hear your ideas.
