Disappointed Harry Potter fans booed after an annual announcement at London King’s Cross railway station did not happen.

People gathered at the station hoping to hear a message on the public address system stating that the fictional Hogwarts Express would depart from platform 9 and three-quarters at 11am, as happens in JK Rowling’s books.
