| | |  Platform 9 and 3/4 to move in September
The Londonist is reporting that come September the mock-up of Platform 9 and 3/4's at King's Cross station, London, England, will be moved. It will be re-located to allow for construction work and will be placed at the front of the station, near the ticket office. There's no word on if or when it will be moved back.

I don't see why they would do that. The place is a historical landmark for Merlin's sake! But, I suppose they want those modifications so the place doesn't look too shabby. 
But I think that it would be kind of stupid to move Platform 9 3/4 and possibly not be moved back. It should at least be put back after the construction is completed.

i think for the sake of interpretation and audience's familiarity its best that they keep it at Kings Cross and it looking like it did from the earlier films. also there is special significance to why the setting is Kings Cross, JKR explained it herself-- it represented the crossroads so to speak. Harry was in limbo, a transition point between the land of the living and the afterlife; Kings Cross represents the same thing-- the transition between Harry's life being raised as a Muggle and his introduction to his heritage as a Wizard.
That's the thing though, all the platforms look pretty much the same. And if I remember rightly, Dumbledore & Harry weren't on a specific platform. The train would still serve the exact same purpose.
