Kings Cross Station to Hogsmeade Station for Hogwarts.

A Ticket for Harry Potter

Get a Move on Harry Potter.

The Hogwarts Express leaves from platform  9 ¾ . You can find a great photo opportunity as a luggage trolley sticks halfway out of the pillar wall.  You may want to take a look at platform  4 as this was actually the location used in the film.
Dumbledore says. He finds it amusing when muggles have had too much beerus knock backus and run at the Wall.

Destination Hogsmeade Station or Goathland a real station in North Yorkshire used as the film set .


All Aboard The Hogwarts Express
Welcome to Hogsmeade or Goathland




The Railway from Whitby to Pickering was opened in 1836, and was one of the early lines built by George Stephenson. Trains were initially all horse-drawn, but the need to climb rapidly to a summit point 500 feet above Sea Level resulted in severe gradients being required to reach this, and a rope worked incline was constructed between Beckhole and Goathland, with the original Goathland 
Station being located at the top of this incline.
