Description

The train from the films

The Hogwarts Express is familiar from the Harry Potter films: a red steam engine that leaves Platform 9¾ at King's Cross for the school of witchcraft and wizardry. The set recreates that train with a locomotive, carriages and a platform scene. At 647 pieces the model is long enough to read clearly as a train without becoming an enormous shelf piece. Fans will spot the familiar design straight away, even though it is simplified for play. That makes the set suitable for fans who like to display the train on a shelf as much as play with it.

Black, red and a touch of blue

Black and red give the train its classic steam-engine look, light bluish grey covers wheels, mechanics and details, and medium blue adds an extra accent. With 125 different parts there is more variety here than the size suggests. The black pieces in particular are easy to reuse later in other projects, such as your own locomotives, castles or vehicles with a darker look. The mix feels both dark and festive, much like the mood of the film scenes.

Five figures for the journey

The box includes 5 minifigures, so the trip to school can be acted out with several characters. That makes the train a play set with a story: boarding, visiting a compartment, arriving at Hogwarts. If you are building a Harry Potter collection, you can combine the express with other 2010 sets and link locations that appear one after another in the books and films. That turns the set into the starting point of a small collection around the school year.

Parts list and new ideas

This page carries the complete parts list with colours and quantities. It is useful for checking a second-hand set, since figures and small pieces are often missing. If you no longer want to keep the train assembled, the “What can I build?” tool shows which other models your existing bricks make possible. That way the bricks keep moving, even when the express eventually has to make room. This is especially handy with older sets, whose instructions can be hard to track down.
