Most train journeys start with a ticket, a delay, and perhaps a half-decent coffee. The Hogwarts Express starts with you running straight into a wall at King's Cross. The red steam locomotive is the very beginning of the Hogwarts school year and the place where many of the series' friendships, conflicts, and huge amounts of candy begin. From Chocolate Frogs to Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, it's hard to argue that ordinary DSB commuting can compete. A Harry Potter T-shirt for fans who would still choose the Hogwarts Express without asking how long the journey is. Just remember to find the right platform first. Nerdshop tip: On the way to the Hogwarts Express? Run toward the wall only if you’re sure you’re at platform 9¾. Otherwise you won’t receive a Hogwarts letter – only a bruise.
