Well, if you love Harry Potter and can’t make it to Florida or California, you may soon be able to take the Hogwarts Express in a city near you, thanks to a new experience called Harry Potter: A Hogwarts Express Adventure. Yes, the famous train from the Harry Potter books and movies could be coming to a location near you. 

Harry Potter: A Hogwarts Express Adventure will be on a REAL train, similar to the Polar Express attraction you can catch in various cities during the holidays. In fact, the same company behind the Polar Express is behind this experience, too.

The attraction will take place on a real moving train that will include a pre-boarding experience with nods to Platform 9 3/4.

When you’re on board the train, you’ll be able to participate in competitions with Hogwarts hosts to rack up points for your Hogwarts House.

After your journey on the train, you’ll be able to enjoy Butterbeer and shop for special merchandise to celebrate your journey on the Hogwarts Express.

Here’s a video with more details about the experience.



Locations will be announced at a later date, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for that and dates. You’ll want to stay tuned to DFB for more.
