LEGO Harry Potter Hogwart’s Express

Looking for a gift for the Harry Potter fan in your life?  Then you will want to buy the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwart’s Express. The Hogwart’s Express is the train which brings the students of Hogwarts to and from the London area and the Hogwart’s Castle.

This set is made up of 646 LEGO pieces.  These include the Lego Harry Potter Hogwart’s Express itself, along with pertinent accessories such as the food trolley where the students can buy things like pumpkin pasties and chocolate frog cards, along with Bertie’s every flavored beans.  There are also suitcases, owls, copies of The Quibbler, wands,  Harry’s Invisibility Cloak, and more.  The figures included in this set are : Lego Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood and Draco Malfoy.

This set also includes the Weasley’s flying Ford Anglia which we first encounter during “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.”  This is the car that Harry and Ron use to get to Hogwart’s when they cannot cross the magical border of gate 9 and 3/4 which is how the Hogwarts students access the train.  The Ford Anglia has been “magicked” by Ron’s father who loves to tinker with “muggle” artifacts.

The train cars are connected via magnetic elements and is composed of three individual cars which measure over 21 inches long when attached.  The roof of the passenger car opens to facilitate play in the train.

The Hogwart’s Express is featured in every Harry Potter book.  This is where the students catch up with each other after their summer breaks.  It is here where we first find out who made House Prefect each year, and  it is here where we often encounter new students and teachers.  The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwart’s Express is something any true Harry Potter fan will want to own.  If you want to complete the experience, you will also want to pick up the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle and LEGO Harry Potter Hagrid’s Hut sets.
