"There’s no better way to journey from London to Hogsmeade than the Hogwarts Express. Not just an attraction, the train serves as practical transportation between Universal Orlando Resort’s two theme parks. Watching the Hogwarts Express steam into the station at Platform 9¾ will make you feel as though you’ve been transported to a film set. The train and its interior compartments have been recreated in painstaking detail, right down to the upholstery. Once your journey begins, don’t just watch the countryside pass by out your window. The action is happening all around you, as certain beloved characters—and maybe a dementor or two—stop by your carriage door." - Valerie Marino
