Hogwarts Express Cable Car







I read all of the Harry Potter books, and I have seen all of the movies - at least a couple of times.  I had to see the Harry Potter stuff at Universal Studios.  I like Diagon Alley, I will post a few pictures someday soon.  The train that connects the London scenes to Hogsmead and the Hogwarts castle, is featured above.  The outside of the station is a fraction of the station in London.  Work your way through the theme park crowd control maze and board the "train."  Look closely, the train wheels don't ride on the tracks, the cars are moved by a continuously moving cable - a cable car system.  Like San Francisco, and the shuttle trains in several major US airports (Cincinnati and Atlanta to name two.) Hmm, a magic train, levitated above the rails.  

Have you read the books?

    Never read the books and not seen any of the films. I saw a clip of the first one and it didn’t grab me.

  7. Yes i Have. They are well written but I didn't care for them as they went on and got darker.
    I should reread them so time and see if I feel differently
