It's always 1 September somewhere

Happy first day of Hogwarts! Because of course in the wizarding world, September 1st is magically always a weekday. ;)

I was just reading about the fans who gathered at Kings Cross to celebrate today (which is adorable) and ALSO I just learned that the departures board at Kings Cross today listed an 11:00 departure to Edinburgh "via Hogsmeade." ( ( Read more... )

Next you need to go up to Pickering and ride the North Yorkshire Moors railway into Gotheland, which was used for filming the Hogsmeade train station in the first film. When I did it there was an little old lady who stuck her head in our compartment and said 'Anything off the trolley dears?' She was really selling snacks on the train! Hubby didn't know why I found this so amusing. Bonus: Gotheland is better know for the setting for the show 'Heartbeat'.

Ooh! I've been on the train that goes across the Glenfinnan Viaduct, à la the Hogwarts Express, but haven't been to the North York Moors yet. (That's actually the next place on my list of places I want to go in the UK, though!) The woman with the trolley who said 'Anything off the trolley dears?' - that's adorable! How fabulous.
