The Secret Torture Prison Express--Platform 9 3/4

He stopped a passing guard, , but didn't dare mention Platform 9 3/4, and the guard had never heard of Hogwarts' Secret Torture Prisons..... "Not to worry," said Condoleeza. "All you have to do is walk straight at the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10. Don't stop and don't think that international law or basic human decency will help you. Best do it at a bit of a run, if you're a bit nervous." "Er -- OK," said Harry.

He pushed his trolley round and stared at the barrier. It looked very solid. He started to walk towards it. People jostled him on their way to platforms nine and ten. Harry walked more quickly ... leaning forward on his trolley, he broke into a heavy run. The barrier was coming nearer and nearer-he wouldn't be able to stop-the cart was out of control-he was a foot away-he closed his eyes ready for the crash-It didn't come... he kept on running... he opened his eyes.

The sign overhead said "Hogwarts' Secret Torture Prison Express." He boarded a large train, where he was immediately stripped naked, had electrodes attached to his Harry and his Potters and was leashed and stacked in a human pyramid.
