Going to England...to visit 'arry Potta!

Going to England this year? Go ahead, visit the Queen but don't miss out on the popular Harry Potter tours!

Yes, we have a photo taken at King's Cross Station, trying to run through the mystical Platform 9 3/4 sign. We did not make through to the other side on the first attempt but we eventually made to the train.

So hop on the train! Ride the Hogwarts Express through the English countryside retracing the steps of your favorite wizard.

In the past few years, many of our wizard wear customers participated in the well known FanTrips[TM].

The Hogwarts Express is a charming steam train that runs between Platform 9 3/4 and the Hogsmead, the hamlet where Hogwarts is located.

The Goathland Station in the Esk Valley of northeast England went into service in 1865 but it was magically transformed into Hogsmead Station for the Harry Potter movies.


You can now ride one of the classic trains, complete with steam locomotive into the very heart of the wizarding world.

The photo of Engine 5972 was taken by one of Hobbie's customers during FanTrips.

Why not make 2008 the year you go on that special trip?

    Getting There... 

    It's easier than you think!

    Our #1 recommendation...passports take time, especially if this is your first issue; so don't procrastinate. Check the current turn around time.
