Playing around

HP Fan Trips™ is pleased to announce the limited availability of fifty (50) individual tickets to ride #5972 Olton Hall, which portrays the real-life Hogwarts Express in Warner Bros.' Harry Potter films.

These tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. The cost is US$199 (GBP106) per ticket. The train will depart Oxford on August 1, 2005 at approximately 7:00 a.m., returning about 12 hours later.

Included:

  • Day-long adventure such as Harry and his schoolmates would experience on their way to Hogwarts
  • Travel from Oxford through the gorgeous Lake District up to Carlisle, and back
  • Activities on the train may include tea parties, special games, storytelling (by a professional performer) and discussions with your fellow Harry Potter fans
  • Best suited for fans that live in the United Kingdom or are visiting there on August 1, 2005

As you can imagine, these tickets will likely go faster than a Firebolt, so we'll update this page when they're sold out.

Those already registered for Accio should feel free to join us! This year's programs have been developed in cooperation with the Accio Board.
