Por que os trouxas não percebem as pessoas desaparecendo da Plataforma 9 3/4?

33

Parece que um número considerável de alunos de Hogwarts deve estar usando King's Cross. Então os magos estão sempre viajando para e da plataforma 9/3 no início e no final do período de Hogwarts:

A viagem de Harry:

Harry's mouth went rather dry. What on earth was he going to do? He was starting to attract a lot of funny looks, because of Hedwig.

Além disso, os Weasleys são descritos:

The speaker was a plump woman who was talking to four boys, all with flaming red hair. Each of them was pushing a trunk like Harry's in front of him -- and they had an owl.

Então, como é possível que nenhum trouxa perceba que as pessoas "desaparecem" através da parede?

Qual é a probabilidade de ninguém se perguntar sobre essa aparência 'esquisita', com seus troncos, corujas, outros animais de estimação, vassoura e onde eles desaparecem?

Você tem que ser discreto sobre isso. Se você não é discreto o suficiente, os magos próximos vão soletrar qualquer trouxa que tenha notado sua presença.

Do artigo de Pottermore sobre Kings Cross Station ;

On the whole, this has worked well, although there have been minor problems over the ensuing years, such as witches and wizards who have dropped suitcases full of biting spellbooks or newt spleens all over the polished station floor, or else disappeared through the solid barrier a little too loudly. There are usually a number of plain-clothed Ministry of Magic employees on hand to deal with any inconvenient Muggle memories that may need altering at the start and end of each Hogwarts term.

Harry had caught the Hogwarts Express the previous year. The tricky bit was getting onto platform nine and three-quarters, which wasn’t visible to the Muggle eye. What you had to do was walk through the solid barrier dividing platforms nine and ten. It didn’t hurt, but it had to be done carefully so that none of the Muggles noticed you vanishing.

Provavelmente pelo mesmo motivo que eles não notam o Knight Bus, como explicado por Stan Shunpike em Prisioneiro de Azkaban Capítulo Três:

"How come the Muggles don't hear the bus?" said Harry.

"Them!" said Stan contemptuously. "Don' listen properly, do they? Don' look properly either. Never notice nuffink, the don'."
