If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

Its a US subway system... lol

An enchanted symbol has appeared on a 14th St. Union Square subway sign - one that any Harry Potter fan will recognize as a clever nod to the boy wizard's magical world: a maroon circle emblazoned with the mystical number 9 3/4.

For the muggles (i.e., non-magical folks), Potter and his gang of wizard pals gather at platform 9 3/4 to board a train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the magical academy where they learn to cast spells and mix potions.

The number is visible on the south side of 14th St., just around the corner from the Regal Cinemas Union Square 14, which shows the seventh installment of the wizard films based on author J.K. Rowling's books, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1," at least 16 times daily.

The charmed sticker is slapped in the slot that featured a "W" until June when that line went out of service. The design mimics standard Metropolitan Transportation Authority signage and at first glance could pass for a relic from the defunct No. 9 line.

I had to read the article. I had two disadvantages. I only seen a subway in person twice, and Ive never seen a harry potter movie.

Honestly when i saw the thread title i thought it was for the restaurant, subway. Eat fresh.
