¥This is the place that Rowling chooses for Harry to wake up in when he has
just been zapped by Voldemort with the Avada
Kedavra curse and is presumed dead.
¥It turns out that Harry is not dead, or at least he can choose to go back.
¥This celestial version of the King's Cross station is thus some sort of way
station between life and death, and it is to this
place that Dumbledore comes in order to meet with
Harry.
