Canon tells us it was real, it does not tell us it is a place. Harry's
thoughts and emotions are certainly real.

It is not clear to me that Dumbledore told Harry anything he didn't
already know; I've lost count how many times when Harry asked a
question Dumbledore responded "but you already know". I think that
with Dumbledore's last comment to Harry at King's Cross JKR is giving
her readers permission to interpret it as Harry's subconscious working
out the answers, or the waiting room for the afterlife, or JKR
admitting that even she does not know all the secrets in the Potter
universe.
