Hogwarts Express

The Hogwarts Express is the magical train in the Harry Potter series that carries students from Platform Nine and Three-Quarters at King's Cross Station to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The scarlet steam engine departs September 1st each year, making it a symbol of the transition between the ordinary world and the magical one: We watched the Hogwarts Express pull away from the platform.
