In the last chapter of the final Harry Potter novel, Deathly Hallows, grown-up Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione gathered at at platform nine and three-quarters, King’s Cross, to see off their children to Hogwarts.
And it appears that today actually marks the date that this happened in the book, with September 1, 2017 being "an important day in the wizarding world", according to Pottermore.
