15 Magical Hidden Easter Eggs In Harry Potter World

10. You Should Ride The Hogwarts Express At Least Twice

When you visit, don't expect the Hogwarts Express to look brand spanking new because Rowlingwanted it to look aged so your experience would be more authentic. As far as you're aware, this is THE Hogwarts Express that has done thousands of journeys from Hogwarts to Kings Cross Station, so it needed to look worn. Depending on which journey you go on, you'll get a different experience if you're travelling from Hogsmeade or London. You'll want to go on each journey so if you can, try and ride the Express twice. You'll be sat in the cabins and you'll be able to see and hear the silhouettes of Harry, Ron and Hermione, along with a few Death Eaters. Take some chocolate with you just in case, because eating sweeties on the Hogwarts express is completely guilt free, all thanks to Remus Lupin. It really will make you feel better.
