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.

Apollyon Pringle, Sim isn't a common name in Belgium (at least that I know of...) 'Simon' is but I haven't heard a 'Sim' before.

It is so true that everything good that is Potter related happens in the UK. We get nothing in Canada, especially in Nova Scotia. All the more reason to save up my money and take a trip to England so I'm not deprived of all the fun things that go along with everything Harry Potter.
*jealousy doesn't even begin to describe it haha
- but I do think that allocating a few tickets to sick children, or children who live in run-down neighbourhoods would be a wonderful thing. Warner Bros. has great ideas for promoting the book/movie, but it all seems to be in the name of making money. With all the profit they are making, you think it would have been them to come up with the idea to provide a positive experience to children who desperately need one.

Sounds like a fun trip - does everyone have to wear Hogwarts robes as well?

Of course, I would love to take a ride on the Hogwarts Express. Since I've no chance and I'm only dreaming, it would be even better to ride with the cast. But only 50 seats! Wow, that's restrictive. Bet that sells out faster than you can click on the link.

It would be so surreal to ride on the Hogarts Express, wouldn't it? The whole time I'd just be thinking, "Am I really here? But that's just not possible!"

Yeah, I think I live a little too far way for this. Seems like a pretty cool trip though, $199 is less than I thought it would be.

I wish I were so lucky to be able to do this. My college offered a course on Harry Potter to be studied in London but it was filled by the time I learned about it. :(

Okay. I know it's sad, but I really wish I could do that. Being broke and an American really puts you on the bottom of the list for this one...

That sounds like sooo much fun! I'd love to do it. To bad I'm in America. That will not stop me. I mean, you could sit where Daniel, Emma, and (certainly not least) Rupert. British have all the luck. Better go... BYE!!
