Most magical scenes that take place on the Hogwarts Express™

Platform 9¾™ this way! We will never get enough of the magical adventures that take place at Hogwarts™ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Defeating evil, bonding over Butterbeer™ and House rivalry... ahhh, the memories...

Of course, none of it would be possible without the famous train that gets you there (unless you own a flying car).

Now, you can take your fandom a step further by building the new LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts Express™ – our biggest replica of the steam train to date.

Fun fact: Before the Hogwarts Express was invented, witches and wizards would travel to school by broomstick, enchanted cars or magical creatures. It was by no means practical because luggage was too heavy to be transported that way, and Muggles™ could spot the students far too easily.

But back to the point!

The Hogwarts Express had its fair few memorable moments, and to celebrate the set, here are some fan-favorite scenes that take place on the iconic train...

Take a journey to Hogsmeade™ on the Hogwarts Express™

The journey from Platform 9¾ to Hogsmeade™ might be the most famous fictional train journey in the Muggle world, and it’s even more famous in the Wizarding World.

It’s a journey that most of us have probably imagined making at one time or another. We’ve dreamed about what it would be like staring out the window as the countryside passes by, meeting our magical new classmates and filling up on treats from the trolley.

And even more exciting than the Hogwarts Express departing King’s Cross is its arrival at Hogsmeade. Imagine the excitement and the anticipation of the new school year that is about to start! It’s enough to fill your stomach with butterflies, or maybe that is because you overdid it on Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans™.

Now, we’ve got a brand-new set based on the arrival into Hogsmeade, and we want to tell you all about it.

So, stow your cases and your owl cages as we take a journey on the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express & Hogsmeade Station set. All aboard!

Anything off the trolley, dears?

The journey starts on board the Hogwarts Express. This set features a brand-new build of the iconic train, complete with an engine, coal car and two passenger carriages.

The carriages have detailed interiors, just like in the movies. If you want a little something to keep you going, the Trolley Witch has all manner of sweets and treats on her confectionery trolley, including an accessory element box of Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans. We’ll take the lot!

There’s also a section of track, but you can rotate the engine’s front buffer beam for off-track journeys.

Relax and enjoy the stunning scenery that passes by out of the window. It won’t be long now until we reach our destination… Hogsmeade!

Change into your robes! We’ll be arriving soon

This brand-new build of Hogsmeade Station includes a ticket office, Owl Post™, restroom and platform and has lots of authentic details that fans will love.

There’s also a buildable sign with directions to both Hogsmeade Village and, of course, to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Maybe you’ve already got some other LEGO Harry Potter sets and are looking to complete your display, or perhaps you’re a newcomer and, like a Hogwarts first-year, you’re still getting to grips with this new world. Either way, this is a perfect set to add to or start your collection.

And just like in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone™, a very special (and very large) friend is waiting for you upon arrival.

“Come on, now, first-years, don’t be shy. Come on now, hurry up.”

The Harry Potter universe is filled with fabulous characters, and this set comes with eight minifigures, giving you plenty of options for play or display.

Making the journey as a first experience are Harry Potter, Ron Weasley™ and Hermione Granger™, who all meet for the first time on board the Hogwarts Express.

Then there’s the cunning Draco Malfoy™, so you can reenact the scene from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince™, where Draco petrifies Harry and tries to send him back to London. Petrificus Totalus!

The train is serviced by the train conductor to check your tickets and make sure everyone is on the correct train, and refreshments are served by the Trolley Witch, with her very own trolley.

This set comes with an exclusive first-ever minifigure of fan-favorite and Quidditch™ commentator Lee Jordan. The mischievous pal of Fred and George Weasley was one of the most popular students at Hogwarts and will be a welcome addition to fans of LEGO Harry Potter.

To meet you upon your arrival at Hogsmeade is the looming frame of Rubeus Hagrid™, along with a family photo album element, just like the one he gives to Harry filled with photos of his parents.

The start and end of every year at Hogwarts™

Together, the Hogwarts Express and Hogsmeade Station form part of the gateway to the Wizarding World. Just thinking about them will recall the moment Harry Potter first stepped off the train on his arrival at Hogwarts, with no idea of the adventure, the excitement and, of course, the danger ahead of him.

If you’ve ever wished that you could take a trip to Hogsmeade on this iconic train, then this new set is an excellent way to do it.
