HP Fan Trips
has just announced the limited availability of 50 individual tickets to ride the Hogwarts Express train used in the official Warner Bros. Harry Potter films.
We have decided at this time to release fifty (50) seats on HP Fan Trips' exclusive ride on #5972 Olton Hall, which portrays the real-life Hogwarts Express train in Warner Bros.' Harry Potter films. Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis and cost $199.
Included is a day-long adventure such as Harry and his schoolmates would experience on their way to Hogwarts. We'll be traveling 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 fans.
This incredible offer is best suited for fans that live in the United Kingdom or are visiting there already. As we expect these tickets to sell out faster than a Firebolt, you can always guarantee yourself a seat by booking any of the HP Fan Trips 2005 tour packages. Each one includes the train ride.
Visit http://www.hpfantrips.com/2005/hogwarts-express/ for more information!
The following 2005 packages have reached their maximum of 42 participants each, and are now sold out:
Based on current numbers, the next to go will be Scotland Silver (just a few spots left) followed by London/Oxford Gold. Keep in mind the only significant difference between the package levels is the choice of hotels and other minor operational changes. The main reason they are split is so each group can be managed and moved about more effectively. (Can you imagine trying to coordinate cross-country travel for over 300 guests without Floo powder?)
More accurately, what is it not? It's not just another see-the-sights London tour with "Harry Potter" slapped on it. HP Fan Trips was created from the ground up by enthusiastic fans. We go places and do things no other group can offer. From our exclusive Hogwarts Express train ride to specially-crafted and professionally-guided tours of London, Oxford, Edinburgh and more, HP Fan Trips is the ultimate adventure for Harry Potter fans.

Oxford to Carlisle? I should have known...I believe some of the original journey was filmed on the west coast mainline, i.e. through the Lake District (a line I happen to have travelled on far too many times!) and various bits of the early films were filmed in Oxford. I suppose Carlisle's the stopping point to keep it in England. May have to go and watch the train pass!

Oh I wish I lived in europe, that way I'd only have to pay for the train ride, imagine how much it'd cost for someone to fly there and back, plus the train ride. Oh I'll have my dreams I guess!

Well. Doesn't much look like I'm going onto any of those fantastic trips. Especially since I live in the US! This is the one time I regret living here! That train thing looked really fun, especially the part about discussing HP with fellow fans. I don't get to do enough of that here...

It would be every Harry Potters fan in the world to be able to ride the Hogwarts Express. Unfortunately not all of us live in the U.K Boo hoo :( I live in Canada so I cant go for a ride, and even if i did live in the U.K all of the rides are sold out.
