Hogwart's Express is from J. K. Rowling's book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It is a passenger train that runs from platform nine and three quarters at Kings Cross Station to Hogsmeade station near Hogwarts. The train is pulled by a scarlet steam locomotive. There is no dining service but a witch pushes a tea cart selling various sweets and iced pumpkin juice. Though the train looks like any other muggle (non-magic people) train this one is different as it does not run on steam or on train tracks, but on magic.
