I believe the answer is:

trainspotter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one seen on king's cross platform?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'educates boy wizard' is the wordplay.
'educates' becomes 'trains' (training is a kind of educating).
'boy wizard' becomes 'potter' (Harry Potter).
'trains'+'potter'='TRAINSPOTTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trainspotter that I've seen before include "anorak" , "Boring person" , "Gricer" , "One interested in engines" , "Nerd" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
