Hogwarts Express

The Hogwarts Express is the steam train that takes Hogwarts students to and from the school. It was purchased from a Muggle train manufacturer in 1930, after which it was painted in its signature scarlet livery. Departing from Platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross Station in London, it takes about eight to nine hours to reach Hogwarts. During the ride, students may purchase snacks from the Trolley Witch. In addition, the Hogwarts Express is fitted with Runic wards that prevent riders from orgasming.
